And another fact that I have clearly established:
STEELER FANS ARE DENSE BETWEEN THE EARS. Let me get this straight, you cannot deny that your team lost pitifully to the Bengals who are without a doubt one of the absolute WORST professional franchises in any sport. Do you deny that? Because this thread seems to imply that you are in rank denial over the facts of the 2009 season. So, I ask yet again, do you deny that your 'oh so great' Steelers were handled by the Bengals in 2009?
Steeler fans needed a dose of reality and my team gave that dose in abundance. There is a wise old phrase that says "When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom." Your pride is killing you, Steeler fans, because the humility of we Bengal fans has brought us wisdom and perspective. What's more troubling to you is that your disgrace was at the hands of the humble Bengals. The lowest of the low, the worst of the worst.
In ALL of the posts that I have made touting the Bengal triumphs of 2009 there has not been one single post made by another Cincinnati Bengal fan...possibly because Bengal fans do not exist. I alone carried the flag for the Orange and Black at your boastful herf, Jeff. I stood ass deep in flowing pride of the assembled Steeler trolls (all offense intended...let's face it, Steeler fans do have troll like appearances -

) and I did so with humility and wisdom. This is MY time to show you that your pride is the source of your disgrace. Time has shown that the Bengals suck. Mike Brown (no relation to this humble author) is an abomination. But yet your prideful, boastful, arrogant, cocky, irritating Steelers were beaten repeatedly by my humble Bengals. Oh the shame of that blow to your pride! Oh the joy that shame brings to my humility!
Sure, we have some Cincinnati members here: Elderboy02, IanHummel, Skydivnekd, Xerais, etc. But NONE of those guys have risen to get my back. None. Zero. Nada. Breedy, Universal and a few others, for reasons unexplained in the universe, tout the Browns but even they did not rise to assist me. Turncoats like Sweetrice80 have not honored their home state by keeping their loyalties with the professional Buckeye franchises. None of them came to my side. Who needs them? I am doing just fine on my own. The even funnier thing is that IF my Bengals return to their typical sucking in 2010 then your pride will have no solace. Your pride tells you that the Steelers should not have lost to the Bengals in 2009 and from that your wound will flow and on that I will always be able to return.
