D Brooks. In your face AFC

joestalin · February 12, 2006 2:08PM

How good is this guy? Pro Bowl for the umpteenth time and then he goes and steals the show! Is all this guy does is return
picks back for td's in big games??

abmluce · February 12, 2006 8:04PM

You mean you actually watched that "YAWN" game they call the pro bowl?

gosteelers · February 12, 2006 9:45PM

Since when was the Pro Bowl a big game???

Axtell · February 13, 2006 12:01AM

I dig Brooks as much as anyone, but talking trash about a pro bowl? Who cares!

softparade · February 13, 2006 12:39AM

when was the Pro Bowl? This past weekend?

1420sports · February 13, 2006 12:59AM

I was waiting for this post ...

After reading the "McNair" post by kuhlman, I had to check to see who won the game - which I forgot was yesterday.

MPeter · February 13, 2006 1:14AM

To answer your question joestalin............he's not very good. With that Pro Bowl pick, he just matched his regular season output this season. Ten turnovers in the game........the NFL's best once again, showing why they belong in Hawaii. Tell me again why Michael Vick was there and why Joe Theismann continues to repeat over and over....."all Michael Vick knows how to do is win." If that was the case Joe T, why were the Falcons 8-8 this year??!!!

Brooks isn't very good? When did this happen?

You, sir, forgot to take your medication this morning.

gosteelers · February 13, 2006 1:20AM

Michael Vick is one of the most overrated players of all time. I bet you San Diego is happy they didn't take Vick that year and instead took LT2...

1420sports · February 13, 2006 1:30AM

Brooks is a HOF player, Michael Vick will not be a QB in two years.

joestalin · February 13, 2006 8:13AM

when did Steeler fan show up??

Brooks has been the most consitantly dominate LB in football. AFC found out the hard way!

Yes the AFC found out the hard way in what amounts to an exhibition game.

Well he should have played well. After all, he was well rested after watching the playoffs.

when is the last time the patsies held a team to 108 total yards in a playoff game? Ill answer it for you. NEVER

Maybe one day you will know domination...probably not

It's tough to call out the Patriots if you're a Bucs fan. After all, they beat you 28-0 this year!

euphoria18 · February 13, 2006 11:38PM

When was the last time the Bucs made it to the semis? Domination is what the Pats did to the Bucs. Oh and one last thing... ring count

And it's pretty funny the Stealers 'fans' crawling out and talking trash after 'their' team won the super bowl.

I've been here all season although I did install the pic in my sigline after the Buckeyes' spanked NotreDame.

ctsoxfan · February 14, 2006 7:36AM

Brooks is a heck of a player - but, no one cares about the Pro Bowl. Not even the players playing in it.

Come on Ax, this happens with EVERY champion in EVERY sport. Its not news that Steeler fans are more prevalent

LOL, I seriously had no clue Monty was wrestling now. While he was attenting college in town here like 10 years ago, I got into a little scrape with him at the bar. It was stopped before it got anywhere too deep and I wasn't completely unhappy about that as he was a big feller even then.

Steelers have one of the most avid and stable fan bases in the entire NFL. There will always be bandwagoners but you'll be hard pressed to find a team with a more dedicated fan base win, lose or draw. Of course it's tough to predict what the fan base would do if the Steelers played poorly since they rarely have a losing season.

Coinhusker1 · February 16, 2006 9:03AM

<< Of course it's tough to predict what the fan base would do if the Steelers played poorly since they rarely have a losing season. >>

They pretty much sucked in the 1980s -- so much so that the fans wanted Chuck Noll fired toward the end of his career.

They weren't that bad. They were two games over .500 for the decade and they went to the the AFCC game in 1984/5. That's not that great for the Steelers but certainly better than many teams.

Axtell · February 16, 2006 4:10PM

Of course I knew the stealers are going to have a big fan base - winning 4 super bowls will do that for you (Just see the 49ers).

But its comedy watching the so-called 'fans' come out and claim themselves as such now...talking trash like they've been here all year.

I would hope with 6 afc championship game appearances, you'd at least get one win...but hey, it's one more than the eagles are ever going to have.

goose3 · February 16, 2006 11:12PM

I was born in 1970. I recall my grandfather being quite the avid and nasty (if a game was on)Cleveland Browns fan when I was a young boy. When I was little and if I was at their house and the Clowns were playing Pitts....I was told that I could not say a word during the game. LOL!! He would really get into those games and would get genuinely pissed if you rooted against the Clowns.

In grade school I remember watching Pitts and Dallas playing in one of their Superbowls. That was when I first got interested in football......I have liked the Steelers ever since and my buddy still likes the Cowboys. I suppose I became a bandwagon fan while I was a toddler.

I prefer college football any day over the NFL but that's just me.

I usually post on the Steelers message boards and have done so for the past four or five years. I've been a fan since 1976 whereI have faint memories of Superbowl X which I watched as a kid. Most of my posts on here have been in the set registry forum. This is primarily a card collecting website. If you want to talk sports with large numbers of fans, I'd recommend you go to a team sport message board.

And yes, CU is primarily a collecting website, but this is a SPORTS forum, where we talk SPORTS. If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen, you stealer 'fan'.

I was exaggerating a bit but only a bit. The activity on this forum pales in comparison to the vast majority of dedicated team sport message boards. Maybe the Bucs don't have much of a fanbase. If so, I can see why you pin your hopes on a peripheral forum that was created after the fact to avoid diverting focus from card collecting on the main message boards.

Axtell · February 17, 2006 3:58PM

The Bucs' message board is quite active, and it was quite common to see 300+ people regularly on there during football season.

And 'pin my hopes'? My hopes of what? The same way you pinned 'your' team's hopes of winning the super bowl on the refs bailing you out time and again?

You're a clown and worse, you're a bandwagon clown. If you're here for the collectible aspect of things, why are you HERE in sports forum land?

Actually the funny thing is I accidentally clicked on the 'Sport Talk' link instead of the 'Set Registry' link one day. Then I saw all the smack talk against the Steelers and felt compelled to chime in. Now it's simmered down to the point where there's really no incentive to continue posting here. I'll continue posting on the Steeler sites and ocassionally on the set registry forum here. So you and your fellow Buc fan can continue with your private chats without disruption.

Have fun.

Here is a little review who had the cajones and who was under the bed whispering "go team"

CAJONES

What, is someone going to tell me that both Steeler "fans" were out of town for the month and a half that that thread was
on the first page of this message board?

Bandwagon jumpers must go home NOW

How about a review on the slobs who welch out on sigline bets?

Wabittwax · February 18, 2006 9:00PM

<< I mean all the Stealer 'fans' have come out of the woodwork since the super bowl....people identifying themselves as stealer fans since they 'won'. >>

There is a LOT of Steelers fans across this country, has been for years. Back in the 1996 Superbowl in Tempe, AZ, I went to the Superbowl festivities the night before the game. They were playing the Cowboys so I expected most people to be Cowboys fans since they were "America's Team" and it was the days of Troy, Emmitt, and Michael. Boy, was I wrong. Steelers fans outnumbered Cowboy's fans at least 2 to 1. There were 10's of thousands of people there and all you could see was huge waves on black and gold walking down the streets. Plus, Steelers fans were walking in huge groups chanting and dancing while Cowboys fans were relatively tame and just smiled while sipping their beers.

Steelers fans haven't come out of the woodwork (maybe a few bandwagoners of late), they've been there for years.

goose3 · February 18, 2006 9:08PM

Stalin

you are a blathering idiot and prove it time and time again.

I don't read every thread on here much less reply to every thread on here.

You, on the other hand, log on solely after your teams have won. When they lost, which was very often this year, your sorry ass was nowhere to be found. You proved all year that you are truly a textbook BANDWAGON FAN.

You have zero credibility and deserve no respect whatsoever from anyone here.

The moron that doesn't even honor simple sigline bets criticizing others. What a laugher.

joestalin · February 19, 2006 2:25AM

goose...25K posts yet you didn't have the balls to show up at the beginning of the year to back your team? Did you not think the refs
would usher you through the playoffs and super bowl like they did? When exactly did you start rooting for the Steelers, after the Broncos
game or after they actually won it?

goose3 · February 19, 2006 2:43AM

You are a complete moron.

I never read that thread or posted to it and you call me a bandwagon fan.

Keep posting and we'll keep laughing at your silly ass.

Good thing for you that betting is no longer permitted on here huh? Like you honor them anyways....even a silly sigline bet!!?

Yet you continually refuse to acknowledge little facts like that.

You are the only bandwagon fan that I have noticed over the past couple of years on this board. Your Sucs or Criminoles lose and you disappear like a fart in the wind for days, if not weeks. Yet, if they win, you're on here immediately boasting.

JoeStalin is the "Original Bandwagoner"

that'd be a great title for you.

That or "The Welcher".
