If Jeff Fisher doesn't care, that makes two of us.

This is not a league-wide tragedy.

 

why would he care

 

I heard Cohwers comments but I just have to go with Jeff.. this means nothing on the field.

 

Better was Jimmy Johnson stomping a box of Flutie Flakes in the locker room back in the day.

 

I don't care but it will motivate Pittsburgh when they play again next season.

 

I remain amazed that, in this day and age, professional athletes need any additional motivation to win games.

 

Yeah they've got a big one. Their paycheck.

 

or this year in the AFC championship game

 

Believe it when I see it. Pittsburgh is a second round exit waiting to happen.

 

Thank you Trace Armstrong:wink2:

 

Get over it. IMHO, it is not a big deal.

 

I'm sure Pitt. fans are upset, which I guess I wouldn't be upset but I wouldn't be too happy if say the Pats, Jets, or Bills did something disrespectful to the Fins logo after a win. Nothing that I would cry about but I would mentally mark it and if I were a player that would be a little extra incentive to give Bullock or White a little extra whack on the field.

 

This will not come to haunt the titians for the simple fact that they will not face each other in the AFC championship game...

 

Apparently... err at least according to this steelers fan that called into sirius nfl radio yesterday says pittsburgh fans are really upset with it because the "inventor" of the terrible towel (i forget his name) is now deceased, and he went on to call lendale white rude and ignorant and all that crap because he was disrespecting a man who has passed away... and he went on to say that lendale white should come to his house and he'd break every bone in his face and crap like that... it was quite ridiculous really.

However, that being said, i dont really think its that big of a deal. Probably a bit silly by lendale to do it, it sure is going to give the steelers motivation... either way, I dont see why its this big of a deal

 

The Steelers should thank him. It's a damn towel, and extremely silly.

 

It is human nature, and part of our psyche. There is always room for extra motivation.

Don't be amazed.

 

I thought it was distasteful and unnecessary and honestly I hope the Steelers bust them in the mouth next time they play. The titans think way too much of themselves and I for one won't be surprised at all when they get bounced the first game they play in the playoffs. I think that gets me more than anything is a team that has never won anything gets a big head over beating a bunch of turds all year.

 

One could say much the same of the Steelers.

Personally, I'm surprised the terrible towel is left alone to the extent that it is. You'd think the Ravens would stomp on the thing twice a year, that Ocho Stinko would have found a way to use it to ill effect, and that Browns fans would, well, let's not go there.

The Steelers aren't some holy untouchable pure-class team. They don't deserve to be above the fray any more than Bill Belicheat and the Patriots do.

 

My irritation has less to do with the Steelers & the towel but more to do with the act itself. It's nothing more than an irritation as much as I love getting on soap boxes this one barely registers for me :lol: along the same lines as the Dallas midfield star incident from several years ago. It was just one of those drama for the sake of drama things that just isn't necessary. They said all they needed to say on the field that day - that did far more to the Steelers in the 60 minutes of game time than the stomping of the towel ever could have.


Thinking about it - I would hate to see what the Browns fans would do to it.

 

The 'Terrible Towel'. One of the dumbest traditions in football ever. I mean, really, how terrible is a towel? I hate that team and their obnoxious fans and applaud anybody that throws one of those emergency buttwipes on the ground and stomps on it. I keep a couple in the bathroom closet in case I run out of toilet paper.:shifty:

 

Flutie Flake gate 2.0.

Silly, who cares.

stay classy Tennessee :up:

 

Yes cause they were mad at the kids at that school. Thats the real reason they did it. :pity:

 

No. They did cuz they're juvenile and more than a little ignorant.

 

Yeah, but when you come into somebody's house waving those damn towels, you're going to get a little 'feedback'. There probably wasn't too many people in the stands saying, "Hey, don't give those Steelers fans a hard time, they're wavin' 'em for the the kids." It's commendable if they want to donate money for fan gear, but save their damn towels to wave around like idiots for their home games.:cool:

 

It seems to be a common complaint around the league:



just ask Jason Campell of the Redskins - at home for a Monday night game, and you have to go to a silent count because there are 30,000 Steeler fans there.

:lol:

 

Yeah man, they're everywhere,:lol:. Here in Daytona Beach, Fl, there's a Steel City Pizza with a giant Steelers helmet logo on the front of the building. There are certain sports bars you can't go to, as a dolphins fan, 'cause it's a Steelers bar. That would never happen in Pittsburgh. Imagine trying to get chased out of a bar in Florida by football fans that root for a team 1000 miles away. They can go to hell, me and my Dolphins were here first.:up:

 

they will lose to us after we beat the ravens. Big Ben is hurt & the OL can be exploited. watch and see.
