well, at least she called Hines a winning jerk, even though she didn't try to spell his name correctly
Yeah, I'm a total scumbag. But I'd never intentionally try to break someone's neck to win a game.
And about the spelling, I apologize. I thought maybe the field was named for him. Honest mistake.
I didn't call anyone any names and when you say about "intentionally trying to break someone's neck to win a game" are you talking about the horse collar tackle penalty on the Jag player when he tried to "intentionally try to break Roethlisberger's neck to win a game" ?
Did that guy ever come back in the game? I guess what come's around go's around.

Sorry. I missed the first 1 & 1/2 quarters of the game. I guess that's when
the bad move on your QB was made. And I wouldn't have liked that either. 
Football is physical enough without trying to permanently injure anyone. I
was surprised that Garrard didn't get his legs broken the time I saw him hit
when he was out of the pocket. Now that would have changed the game a bit.

Thanks Connie, but I really don't care about the loss. It was a close, hard played game and the Jag's won and I congratulate them and you :high five:, I just have a problem with poor sports.

Yeah...I'm used to dealing with losing. I've been a Jags fan since the beginning...
It was a nail biter is what it was!
Miss you around here......a lot.

Well, I can't imagine that any Pro player would ever try to intentionally permanently injure anyone. It is a
very physical game and the players are going all out and things happen but I don't believe any player is trying to do more than make a hard hit. That's what they are being paid to do.

Thank you, kind sir.
And I'm amazed that a little comment from an old southern woman
could get a Steeler fan so worked up. I'll keep my mouth shut next
time. Remember, words aren't "sticks" or "stones", especially mine.

Didn't see the whole game, but I don't believe you can challenge a penalty call. Happy for you though, Des.

Connie and Michael, too.

On further investigation, it has been found to be a non-challengeable situation.
So, it's not the coach's error, but the officials' (and a prime example of how Heinz Ward is a winning jerk).
Thanks for the correction, Penners.
Try and be a good winner and hold off on name calling.
Ya see, that just shows the quality of some people. Winning isn't enough, they have to keep talking trash after. Yes, I whine and cry and look for excuses when my team loses, I won't deny that.

by the way, that was a joke but I forgot the

Please don't keep your mouth shut, I'm still just crying about losing

It is SO cool to see that Hines is a winning jerk....he truly is a nice guy, as is the majority of the team!
We Steeler fans need no kleenex, there is always next year - first year head coach, did not do that bad....
BTW: Hienz Field is for you know the company, the stuff you like to put on your fries and cheeseburgers....
see you all next year.....
glad the team is winners!
