It's official. The Pittsburgh Steelers and the courts in Pittsburgh are corrupt. Ste-elitist coach Joey Porter has essentially been given a 'free pass' by a court in Pittsburgh after he assaulted a bouncer outside a local nightclub. And this isn't a 'he said, she said' incident. Porter's assault was video recorded. The video shows Porter as he shoves/throws a bouncer off the steps in front of the nightclub. The arresting officer is so upset that the charges were dropped despite the evidence, he called in to a radio show to express his disdain. The link to this story and the officers interview is below. This should come as no surprise to anyone that follows the NFL and/or the Pittsburgh Steelers specifically. This team gets preferential treatment by officials, the league and by the courts of Pittsburgh. This needs to stop. www.cincyjungle.com/2017/1/13/14265980/arresting-officer-of-joey-porter-pissed-charges-were-drop |

The difference between you and I is that I don't make silly excuses for my team, coaches, ownership, players, etc., when they screw up; you do. Big, big difference. Also, this post isn't about the Patriots or Adam Jones. (I want the Bengals to trade or waive Jones because he's a bad influence on the teams younger players). This post is about corruption as it relates to the Pittsburgh Ste-elitists and Joey Porter in particular. So if you're incapable of replying impartially, as an adult, I would suggest that you not read nor comment on this thread. It's totally up to you and I'll respect your decision, but I don't think you're capable of critiquing your team honestly. If I'm wrong, please prove it. |

I'm sure some calls were made, as they are everywhere in situations like this. Porter is an asshole and I'd be perfectly happy if he went to jail. I'd like to see them take Kevin Greene as a coach and dump Joey. The point of mentioning other, similar situations is only to highlight your obsessive need to believe that the Steelers are somehow nothing but corrupt cheaters. I'm just amused that the Steelers send you into such a tizzy on such a regular basis. I worry about that vein in your neck. |

Let it all out! It's good for you and quite refreshing for the rest of us.  It's also nice to know that you care. But don't you fret; the Ste-elitists have never sent me into a 'tizzy'. Quite the opposite. I actually take great pleasure in calling them out concerning all the preferential treatment they receive. It's quite fun and easy to do with a myriad of examples to choose from. You should try it sometime. But in all sincerity, you disappoint me. I really thought that you, of all people, would've caught on to my rather futile attempts to sensationalize every negative story pertaining to the Pittsburgh Ste-elitists. So what you thought was a tizzy and/or an exaggerated vein (Rod, have at it), was actually trumped up hype. Now, before I go any further, let me state that I think it's rather obvious that the Steelers do indeed receive preferential treatment based on an overwhelming amount of evidence. Having made that clear, I would also like to say that I respect you as a fan and as a poster (at least most of the time ). You're loyal to your ex-hometown team which I find admirable. Fickle fans that root for the Cowboys or whatever team they think is gonna win the Superbowl aren't real football fans in my book. For what it's worth, I consider you to be a real football fan. |

Yup. It's terrible. So obvious. Couldn't agree more. But, winning takes the sting out of your (mild) contempt. I get it - it's all in good fun. On to New England! I bet you secretly root for the Steelers, don't you?

For me I only get mad when the Bengals are in the playoffs and fail. The Steelers are a well run organization and merely contending is not the ceiling. That last part is what I envy. Their front office has a vision and a way of doing things. We have a ham and egger approach. That's the sting!
