OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: World Cup N'at

[Nakawick]

A Philly fan eating shit? Never has the saying you are what you eat been more true.

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Ya, I'm smiling as I read it....

Knowing their fans pretty much expected to be celebrating a sixth SB championship Sunday night, makes it even better.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Ha, reminded me of Bonino Bonino Bonino!

 

[ColePens]

Is it just me or is every Eagles fan just coming out of the woodwork now? So many people I didn’t even know were Eagles fans are now thumping their chests seemingly out of nowhere.

Good for them. And a little bit of money lost aside - im glad they beat New England.

But eff this “oh we still have the most Super Bowls yipeee!” talk. That won’t hold for long. ‘09 is seeming more and more like ancient history now. The Steelers need to take matters into their own hands and at least win one more with this core.

Unfortunately, I just don’t see it happening.

Also: wow is defense bad these days. Top ranked D’s in the Jags, Vikings, Pats and Eagles got shredded this postseason. So rag on about the Steelers’ D not being good enough, but with the offensive firepower, this team as a whole was still plenty good enough to win it all this year.

But discipline. The divas. Coaching. Etc... I get it. Part of why I’m not so sure I see it.

Sounds like a PSU fan I know. Weird.

I thought the same thing when I heard it. Great call.

They apparently eat shit after the lose AND win...

I'm actually thinking it really has nothing to do with sports.

so Josh McDaniels to remain with the Pats...

 

[Shockmaster]

so Josh McDaniels to remain with the Pats...

The Colts haven’t deleted any of the tweets about naming him the head coach yet

 

[OnMyOwn]

so Josh McDaniels to remain with the Pats...

Because he doesn’t want the pressure of being a HC and actually having to take responsibility, IMO.

 

[DanielPlainview]

He seems like a terrible guy to play for

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

so Josh McDaniels to remain with the Pats...

Glad he is staying. Screw the colts!!

 

[mynameisnick4]

Can the Patriots get any more hated? The Colts had tweets up announcing him as the coach up until about 2 hours ago and there are reports that he still hasn't personally reached out to the coaching staff he was putting together. What a rat.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

I always liked Dungy. One of the smartest minds in the game and always said it like it is. He makes a great point, you had guys leave their jobs to take assistant positions. You disrupted lives.

The entire organization is filled with trash.

 

[Shockmaster]

Did Art II ever have his usual end-of-season press conference yet? The local media usually throws him softball questions, but Tomlin has taken much more heat than usual for the lack of discipline from the team. Art might get some much more uncomfortable questions this time around and I'm not sure he'd want to answer them or would know how to answer them without throwing Tomlin under the bus.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Lake is gone. Wants to be with his kid in California.

 

[cookthebooks]

sounds like a graceful exit after a group didnt develop as hoped

 

[Jaded-Fan]

And another good point. It is not impossible that he will get another HC opportunity, but how he handled that certainly will be a factor that he will have to deal with in the future. It will not help at all.

 

[Shockmaster]

Well, looks like Art II talked to the media after all.

I was shocked JM got another offer to hc after his debacle in Denver.

Hey... always been here as a fan. Through the thick and thin.

I haven’t even brought them into my posts much lately, but since you sparked it - today, PSU football secured a top 5 recruiting class, and PSU hoops even won a big game to keep their tournament hopes alive.

It’s always a great day to be a Nittany Lion, but today even moreso than usual.

 

[KIRK]

Well, looks like Art II talked to the media after all.

 

[Coastal Kev]

Well, looks like Art II talked to the media after all.

Yuck.... I don't agree with anything he said...............

7-8 wins next year is my very early prediction, based on organizational failure.

 

[Shaftception]

The one talking point that keeps being repeated by the Tomlin defenders that just baffles me in it's cluelessness is the whole "who would you replace Tomlin with that's better?" shtick that even the owner of the team has I guess bought into.

Tomlin himself was a nobody when he was hired. Who was Doug Peterson three years ago? That rebuttal makes zero sense as a defense for never putting Tomlin on the hot seat. The fact the team owner is now repeating what is a completely illogical argument is to me the most worrying thing to come out of this whole debacle.

For every Doug Peterson there are 10 Krennels, Gilbrides, Petrino, Morningwigs or Weisses at least.

Its the same reason you never see NFL teams get rid of QBs until the next one is there or they have no other choice (they're that bad).

Firing Tomlin if you have a guy that you really think can make a difference...sure.
Firing him for the sake of firing him and risking setting your org on fire...um.
