Who is your least favorite Steeler?

It's Steeler week. I hate the Steelers.
I hate that their city is so unimaginative they have to use black and urine as the colors of all of their sports teams.
I hate the fact that their mostly front running fans believe that they have more championships than the Cleveland Browns.
But I want to know, who is your most hated Steeler of all-time?
Here is a quick run down of my favorites, in no particular order:
1. Terry Bradshaw
Best picture of Mr. Bradshaw I could find.
You may now know him as the fun loving moron on FOX's pregame. Or, you have probably been beaten over the head by the fact that he won four Super Bowls. For his career, he went 22-17 against the Browns while posting a 75.6 QB rating in those games. I hate Bradshaw because I think he was behind the wheel of a team that possessed a great running game and a great defense. It allowed an average QB (212 TDs to 210 INT's career) to be hailed as a great and almighty savior. Ask a Steeler fan to name the greatest QB of all-time and I am willing to bet a horrible tasting Iron City Beer that they will try and work Bradshaws name into the conversation. Save your self the trouble and close your hand in a drawer.
2. Jerome Bettis
Anyone seen these two guys in the same room at the same time?
Hey, did you guys know that Jerome Bettis is from Detroit? If you don't, then you didn't want a single minute of any 2006 NFL Playoff coverage. Plus, I think that chunky campbells soup tastes like crap (Well, during Steeler weeks I do, other weeks, I totally get down on the chicken noodle. But not Steeler week bitches! I fast like Olajuwon!) I hate the fact that Bettis can screw up a coin flip. I REALLY HATE the fact that Bettis has more rushing yards than Jim Brown (even though it took him 74 more games. Yeah, 74. That would be if Jim Brown played almost 5 and half more 14 game seasons. Yet, if you look at the NFL leaderboard, this fat ass is ahead of Jim Brown.) For Bettis' career he went 13-9 against the Browns and had an average of 74 YPG against us.
3. Hines Ward
I wish this was DBN's logo.
We all knew this douchebag was on this list. We have gone over the reasons on why Hines Ward is a coward and dirty player ad nauseum. If you need more info on this boob search the archives. On to the stats, Ward went 20-17 against us while averaging 67 YPG. He only has 8 TDs in those 37 games which actually suprised me. The only thing I like about Ward is that he hates the next player on our list.
I am 99% sure that this is not photoshopped.
The newest, greatest Steeler QB (He wins games!). Once again, we have touched on Crash Test Roethlisberger Big Ben. It drives me nuts that every single time this guy has a hang nail it is DEFCON1 in the Roethlisberger household. Was he not hugged enough as a kid? I'm glad to hear that the Steeler locker room is tired of his act, because I as a Browns fan have had my fill of Big Ben's injury fiasco's. Did I mention that he likes to bang ugly chicks? For God sakes man you're a NFL quarterback that is paid over 100 million! Even that fat dude that convinced chicks he was Big Ben was able to hook up with a model! Oh yeah, stats. He has a 14-8 ratio on TD/INTs and averages 223 YPG. Meh.
5. Jeff Reed
I don't know if he is the most hated Steeler, but I know he thinks the show Jersey Shore is cool.
This dude is the best. First of all he is a kicker. Second of all, the dude has the worst case of beer muscles that I have seen in quite sometime. First of all he tackles like this (fast forward to :23 seconds in) and this (2:35 in). Did I mention that this tool has been arrested for assulting police officers, and vandalizing a bathroom in a gas station because they were out of paper towels? All this anger from a kicker who tackles like a woman. I think that Phil Dawson would destroy him in fisticuffs. Did I mention that he is a kicker? He is 23 for 27 on kicks against us.
6. Rod Woodson
Man, I hope my HOF bust has a pornstache.
He played for the Steelers and Ravens, so that kind of makes him a jackass. He then he said something so gross that I had to make sure I got his quote correct, word for word. In his Hall of Fame speech he said the following:
And I hope again, the voters get this right, by putting Art Modell in the Hall of Fame. He belongs there. You can boo him because you disagree with him moving them. But you can't disagree with what he did as an owner.
Burn in Hell Woodson.
Also receiving votes: James Harrison, Franco Harris (It was incomplete!), Greg Lloyd, Kevin Greene, Levon Kirkland, Amos Zeroue (I hate his cookies), Tommy Maddox, Kordell Stewert, Stallworth and Swann (overrated), Joey Porter (I'm glad someone shot him i the ass) and Troy Polamalu.
Did I mention that I hate the Steelers?

I wonder if there is a similar post over at the Steelers site. Nah, they usually save that stuff for Ravens week.

Right.
Is the prevailing wisdom that Ward is a dirty player correct? I don’t remember seeing a lot of fines and 15 yard penalties associated with the guy. But SI did have an unscientific poll that showed he was the dirtiest and I think a majority of fans think so as well.
I’m not as sold on the idea, but then again, I’m a Steelers fan. I’m guessing I’m wrong here and just choose not to see the real damage.
by Cols714 on Dec 8, 2009 4:04 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Yes, even more so since Ward this year won the SI poll of actual NFL players. Really, with Rodney Harrison’s retirement, it’s pretty much a slam dunk for Ward.

For me, the Daven Holly hit a couple year’s ago was enough evidence. You do a shot like that even once, and you should be considered dirty.
by Roger Dorn on Dec 8, 2009 4:58 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Right and he was penalized for that one.
My definition of dirty includes intentionally doing things that are illegal and horrible, either obvious (Haynesworth stomping on someone) or hidden (twisting a guy’s package under a pile). A grey area is doing something technically legal but totally away from the play. To me, Hines does legal things at or near the center of action and right in front of refs.
I think 3 things contribute equally to Hines’s rep: one, it is unexpected and therefore more memorable for a WR to block so hard; two, he smiles and does bragging gestures like a defensive player (again, unexpected and more memorable and arguably a bit dickish, too); and three, conventional wisdom is a sort of reinforcing loop that he is dirty and fans don’t know what they are talking about and just buy the CW, strengthening his rep as a dirty player.
by Cols714 on Dec 8, 2009 5:07 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I consider late hits dirty, particularly if they are long after the play ends or well away from the action of the play when it clearly will have no effect on anything. This is probably where we disagree.
by Roger Dorn on Dec 8, 2009 5:13 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Oh I agree that late hits are dirty. I just don’t think Ward makes them too often. Besides the Holly play, I’m not sure I can think of any.
Or he’s just dirty.

by SpecialBrownie on Dec 8, 2009 5:21 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I really don’t follow the Steelers close enough, but the impression I get is that the late hits are a recurring feature of his play, but could obviously have been misled.
by Roger Dorn on Dec 8, 2009 5:22 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
He doesn’t do late hits. I haven’t seen one from him this year. He does a little taunting after the hits (which I don’t agree with) and his hits come out in the open field so they are extremely visible.
The Keith Rivers hit was totally legit, it sucks he ended up with a broken jaw.

I saw that one and agree that it was clean.
by Roger Dorn on Dec 8, 2009 5:44 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
right, but being a legal hit doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t a “dirty” hit. wacking a guy just to wack him, when it won’t have a realistic impact on the play, is dirty whether the player gets penalized and fined or not.
by Dawg Nuts on Dec 8, 2009 6:22 PM EST up reply actions 1 recs
Right. The Flozell Adams play this weekend wasn’t an illegal hit, but it was very dirty.
by Bernie19Kosar on Dec 8, 2009 6:56 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I in no way want to defend any Steeler … but I really don’t see anything wrong with any of the hits that Ward puts on players. They are clean. It really irks me when defensive guys complain about how he hits defenseless players … oh you mean like a WR coming over the middle to make a catch … like that kind of defenseless? I mean comon. I personally think they are all jealous and scared that WR can stand up for himself.
by jsneides on Dec 8, 2009 5:56 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
the difference is thats a penalty on the defense and it gets called often. defensive players have no such protection from the referees, and ward knows it. so while technically legal, its pretty dirty.
to give an example of what i mean:
after a qb throws an interception, no one is allowed to hit him unless he chases the play. CBs don’t have that protection. if there is a run play to the outside, its pretty dirty for ward to blind side a corner on the other side of the field after the RB is wrapped up but hasn’t been whistled down yet. the play isn’t technically over, so the hit is technically legal, but i personally think there’s more to a clean hit than being technically legal.

The Ed Reed hit was also dirty. He lowered his helmet and then pointed to Reed after he was down and hurt.
Most Steeler fans say that Ward was pointing for trainers to get over and help him, but he was looking at his own sideline. He is an ass.
If a defensive player lowered his head like that on a defenseless WR, he would be suspended.
by Bernie19Kosar on Dec 8, 2009 6:54 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
exactly. thats a penalty for defensive players but the same thing does not apply for offensive players
by notthatnoise on Dec 8, 2009 8:28 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I don’t like when Ward taunts the player he just blocked, but that doesn’t make him a dirty player.
I respected Ed Reed’s attitude about Ward after Hines knocked him out of the game a couple times— basically “that’s football”, and if I’m going to dish it out, I better be able to take it.
It should be noted that the league didn’t fine Ward for that hit.
by Cols714 on Dec 9, 2009 12:12 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
we shouldn’t base our opinion of a dirty hit on whether a player got fined or not. like i said above, just because a hit is legal doesn’t mean its not dirty.
by notthatnoise on Dec 9, 2009 10:06 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I disagree 100%. The great majority of Wards’ hits are away from the center of action and have no bearing on the play (and are often after the whistle, as was the Holly hit).

What I hate most about Steelers fans is that Columbus is full of front-running, bandwagon-jumping Steelers fans who all claim to have some relative in western Pennsylvania which justifies their Steeler fandom. Of course, there doesn’t seem to be many Pirates fans in Columbus so that makes you question their Pittsburgh heritage. And then these jerks are constantly writing letters to the Dispatch whining that there isn’t enough Steeler coverage in Columbus and that they should be on TV over the Browns and Bengals. These are the fans that act like they’re superior to everyone else because their football team is winning, as if they had anything to do with those wins. I hate front-running d-bags like that.

They are legion here in Akron as well. Amazing how many there are now that the Steelers have won two Super Bowls recently.
I’m 33 and personally know of TWO people that have been lifelong fans out of the dozens I see regularly. I have respect for someone who stuck it out during the Bubby Brister/Merril Hoge/Kordell Stewart era of good/mediocre teams. Frontrunners, however, are annoying.
I have a theory about those guys. They used to be Michigan/Bulls/Cowboys/Yankees fans but that kinda went south for them so they jumped on the Steeler/Boston bandwagon (yep, most of these D-Bags are Red Sox and Celtic fans too).

i think it’s slightly different. lots of people say they’re Cavs fans, but they’re really Lebron fans. if (big if), Lebron does not resign with the Cavs, I don’t think you’ll be seeing as many fans in the seats even if they would be above .500 next year.
no single player has brought a team to national prominence like he has since Jordan (as the NBA is more likely to see individual players have that effect on a team). Even those 90’s Cowboys teams had 3 stars that brought out the bandwagoners.

Well that’s always going to happen. It happened with the Indians in the 90’s. But there’s a difference between casual fans — locals who are always fans but follow a team more closely when they’re winning — and front-running fans with no connection to the team they’re rooting for. Winning teams are always going to bring more people to the games and watching on TV from the region, and that’s what is happening with the Cavs now.

I get that. My point with the Cavs thing was that absolutely no one was there in the mid 90s.
There are towns that do a better job of supporting their team even in bad times, and it depends on the sport too, but I do think some of these rust belt cities are pretty good about it overall.

I’m old enough to barely remember the Price/Daugherty/Nance/Ehlo/Hot Rod years, when the Cavs were actually good. And I do remember the years of Andre Miller, Brandon, Sura, Phills, Tyrone Hill, etc. I remember when SI made up a formula to select the best PG in the NBA and it was Terrell Brandon (to everyone’s surprise). The Cavs had some luck drafting PG’s back then but they couldn’t find much else. Then, of course, it bottomed out with the Ricky Davis/Darius Miles years before we drafted LeBron. Those teams were just embarassing.

Haha, those were the years I was mainly referring to, when I could basically sit in the front 5 rows no matter where I purchased a ticket.

Hines better play after being a jackass and calling out Roethlisberger for not playing after being concussed.

let them them play on Sunday…they will still miss our Thursday Night game.

Ah yes, that’s what I meant… This Thursday game is messing with me. The said they would play on Thursday, not Sunday. My bad.

Ha! It’s hate week!
One baseball game, he came to the plate and heard a woman in the crowd shout to the pitcher, "I'll make you a chocolate cake if you strike out that 'so-and-so'!" Says Strong: "I hit that ball out of the park. Then I looked at her like, 'Do I get a cake now?' "

Another point on Hines Ward: I find it funny that he questions Ben’s toughness when he takes off every Wednesday practice for “non-football reasons”.
Suit up, nancy boy, or get in line with the kicker and punter.

Some of the guys on my list always struck me as pretty classy, specifically, bettis and woodson. I’m too young to remember Bradshaw torturing the Browns and I kinda like his retard act on Sunday so I can’t vote for him either.
by mgtbfb on Dec 8, 2009 10:37 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
definitely Hines Ward. I still remember the playoff game we had against the steelhers when we were up but they were driving down the field on the last possesion. When Hines got hit a little late and he laid on the ground with his eyes closed. As soon as the ref threw the flag for a infraction I’ve never even heard of before that point he jumped up smiling like a little bitch and low and behold he lose our first playoff appearance in year and the third game of the season to those bastards

It was a hit by Robert Griffith on a 3rd down.

As far as the Modell to the HOF, I think he deserves to be there. Don’t get me wrong, he should burn in Hades, but he has done alot in for the NFL. From moving the Browns to the AFC with the Steelers, MNF, and the first Thanksgiving game. The man was a terrible person, just ask the whole city, Indians, and Paul Brown, but since when have bad people been left out of Canton?

Ben Roethlisberger gets my vote. I mean, you could look at him in street clothes outside of anything to do with Pittsburgh and understand that he’s a douche just because of his face. He LOOKS like a douche! He’s basically a big scumbag in how he acts too.

I hate all the Steelers unconditionally. Any man who puts on that jersey is my least favorite Steeler. This question is like asking “What’s your favorite flavor of sh!t?”

I hate all of them but I need to add an honable mention for Barry Foster.
I still remember the Steelers forcefeeding him the ball during the last minute of a game against the Browns in 92’ that was already over just so he could break some record for 100 yard games by a Steeler. It was the first time I ever wished a torn ACL on a player.

as someone who has had a torn ACL, i fully endorse you wishing it upon the steelers

hines ward.
however, i voted for big baby ben, because of his “look at me! i’m from ohio, went to miami OH, but i’ve always hated the browns. bahahaha. but i’ll still go to a cavs playoff game because i’m a jackass!” attitude.

i wonder if he likes the pirates or indians? my guess is indians, since they were good when he was growing up

Hines Ward. Is he asian? Is he african american? I don’t know for sure but what I do know is that he is a tremendous a-hole. It just makes me hate him even more.

furthermore, his smiling is so over the top it can only be over compensation for that which is dead and empty inside.

Are you huhing for the same reason as me?
Huhing because he seems to be bringing in race to hate a person, regardless of past incidences or team affiliations, but just the fact that he can’t figure out his race makes him think of Ward as an a – hole?
I feel this is the wrong place to present that type of argument.

Not to go off the subject but will the game be on local TV?

I think Thursday nights are exclusive to NFL Network.
by SpecialBrownie on Dec 8, 2009 5:20 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
The NFL Network typically makes it available to a local free tv affiliate. However, if you live outside Cleveland, you’re visiting a sports bar if you don’t have cable or Sunday Ticket.

You can find plenty of sports bars which let in people under 21 during the day to watch games. Any BW’s or place like that would work.

I just can’t stand the whole team. No player really sticks out. I am not into hating, however I hated the fact they got the best whistle in the history of football against the Seahawks in the Super Bowl.

That was just the culmination of a postseason full of reasons to hate on the Steelers, starting with Kimo Van Rollover’s takeout of Carson Palmer.

If he intercepts a ball and attempts a return, it’s legal to tackle using his hair.

But I’ll show my support for the dawgs on Thursday. If you manage to win and knock the Steelers out of playoff contention, I will be a very happy man.
