OT: Off Topic Thread XVI: Dog Days of Summer Edition

[Boom Boom Apathy]

So after years of staying away, I finally went over to the dark side and got an iphone. I feel dirty.

By they way, every time I click on this off topic thread, my antivirus says it detects a threat. It started yesterday and still see it today. Anyone else get that?

 

[VAcaniac]

That's dandy. Now tell the obnoxious fake bandwagon section of your fanbase to leave us alone.

It hasn't been a very good time lately to be a Steelers bandwagoner...

I wonder what percentage are actually Pittsburghers down there? I know around here, there's probably just as many Pittsburghers as native Washingtonians.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

Clearly you need new friends.

neither one of us cares about the nfl

Same. It doesn't like that picture GP posted. And go throw that phone out the window and get a real one.

I love the Pirates (maybe even more than I love the Canes) and I like the Penguins. Pittsburgh is a really really cool city and I enjoy going there very much.

**** the Steelers. Couldn't hate them more if I tried.

 

[VAcaniac]

Steelers are like the only thing I like about Pittsburgh and my family is from there. Too many terrifying experiences as a child there.

I've been to a couple Steelers home games in December and my god is it cold to sit on bleachers. Atmosphere is amazing though.

Yeah, my antivirus software on my computer is doing it as well.

My babysitter from years back was from Pittsburgh. I'll give her credit, she stuck through the baddddd Penguins years. I remember watching recorded games most afternoons during the school year

Philadelphia is a cooler city than Pittsburgh, but I can say with a degree of certainty, I'd rather go to a Steelers game than an Eagles.

You do *NOT* wanna be wearing the other team's jersey in Philly

Though, a good cheese steak is borderline orgasmic.

Leave now and don't ever come back.

Not sure if anything more wrong has ever been posted on this website.

What.

I like both cities a lot, but by what measure would you consider Pittsburgh to be a "cooler" city than Philly?

The food scene, the bar scene, the arts scene, the urban landscape... Philly beats Pittsburgh pretty easily across the board IMO. Still enjoy Pittsburgh, though. Had a good time there a couple of weekends ago. Really liked the Strip District, Lawrenceville, and Bloomfield. Give me South Philly any day, though.

I agree. I lived in Philly for a year and it is a fantastic city with a lot to offer. Pittsburgh has gotten better and better over time though and some people still give it a bad rap, but I prefer Philly. Plus the location offers more as you are in closer proximity to the ocean, DC, NYC, etc...

Since the Rams, Seahawks, Bengals, and Cardinals are all on bye this week, my Yahoo bench looks like...

AJ Green
Russell Wilson
Marshawn Lynch
Larry Fitzgerald
Brian Quick
Jared Cook



...and since it's a 12-team league that starts 2 QBs (seriously, what the actual ****?), the only QB that was available to fill my QB2 spot was Glennon, after somebody else grabbed Bortles and Bridgewater.

I keep getting a screen to rotate my screen so an ad can pop up.
When I view this board at home, I have to use ad blockers to navigate it.

Pennslyvania is one of those states that I wish we could just scratch off the map. It would be nice to be 2 hours closer to NYC.

The bridges in Pittsburgh are pretty but I'm pretty sure half of them are going to fall in the water any moment now.

One time I told a coworker Pennsylvania is the Alabama of the norther, and she did not like that.

Penn is 3 states.

Pitt / Alabama / Philly

I lived in Pitt for a couple of years.

 

[Brock Anton]

So our next three games are @PIT, @NO and BAL.

0-6 is a guarantee.

This week will be a bit rough

Tony Stewart won't be charged:

Ward Jr. evidently had drugs in his system.

Stewart is still a nut job, but this changes things greatly

There's a similar saying about New Jersey as well. Something like anything south of the Atlantic City expressway is the 'Deep South of the Northeast'.

 

[ADifferentTim]

Sigh; if only Packers games weren't blacked out in LA, then I'd be more excited to see a QB battle between Cam Newton and Aaron Rodgers.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Ward Jr. evidently had drugs in his system.

And was an idiot for running out into traffic on a dirt track. Only Tony Stewart will know for sure if he tried to "buzz" the guy and got too close, but there was no video or other evidence to conclusively indicate that he did. The fact that the car right in front of Stewart almost hit Ward, that it was dark, he was wearing a dark jumpsuit, and from what I understand, other drivers behind Stewart were interviewed and said Stewart didn't do anything wrong makes it pretty much a closed case.

Now will come the lawsuit though because Stewart has deep pockets and I'm sure there are lawyers lining up to take on a case for a % basis.
