Wait - Payton...you're both a "lifelong fan" and a "Southern girl"? Oh great. A Packer fan NOT from Wisconsin... EVERYONE'S FAVORITE PERSON.

If you're actually telling the CDC that you're fat when everyone you know weighs 285 lbs, you're really fucking fat.

I was just using the analogy in terms of "there are lots of risky jobs, you guys".

That's not even possible unless 50% of Miami's student body is from Pittsburgh. (being facetious, I know that's not the case) I randomly watched a Bengals/Steelers game in Oxford last year, and despite a solid chunk of the Miami student body being from greater Cincinnati/Dayton AND Oxford being all of 35 miles from…

I'm confused by your whole thesis. If someone who is not from Pittsburgh and had no prior connection to the Steelers begins liking the Steelers at Miami University presumably because of the Roethlisberger connection, how much can they really dislike the guy? It's not like we're talking about Pitt students here.

Some people smoke and take decades off of their lives. Some people drink themselves into an early grave. Some people eat themselves into cardiac arrest at 38. Life is full of choices and the choice of adults to partake in a risky activity is no better or worse than your choice on whether or not you're entertained…

And people will line up around the block for it. Even with a full-on guarantee that the NFL would take a decade off of my life I would have gladly played in the NFL if able. For league minimum. This is a country that sent hundreds of thousands of young men and women to active war zones and we care that a few…

When you join a website just to spew racist drivel you might be the worst person ever.

Dude. I was at MU the same time as Ben. Have mutual friends from HS. You don't have to tell me he's a giant chach, just ask any of us who he didn't talk to after his redshirt year. My point, merely, is that MOST Miami students/grads either don't know he's a giant dick or don't care enough to stop rocking Steeler…

Ah yes. The problem. BLACK PEOPLE. Got it.

Dude. The majority of Miami University is from Ohio and/or Chicago. None of them have any natural affinity for the Steelers other than Ben. I'm sorry he slighted you in your little interview, but I can assure you that he's rather well liked among Steeler fan-dom.

If you're from Ohio and rooting for the Steelers... you don't hate Roethlisberger as a person.

Dude, I looked through your comment history, and over the span of two weeks EVERY SINGLE COMMENT has been a politically tinged, rambling hate screed over some bullshit or another. I don't know what's loose in your brain that caused you to bring your overly aggressive, bigoted bullshit to a site people go to for fun,…

Looks like the little guy should start snapping up his helmet.

So apparently David Duke is on Deadspin now. THANKS, KINJA!

Yeah. Buffalo is just sad. Detroit looks like the zombie apocalypse ALREADY HAPPENED.

"Practically every" seems like a TINGE of an exaggeration. Oxford in football season is drastically more Steeler-ey than your typical hamlet in the midst of Bengals/Colts country.

+1 hand for Jim Abbott

I went to Miami U.. and I like the idea of Ben much more than I like the actual person. People don't remember that when he was at Miami he had Eminem pencil-thin sideburns and a noticeable faux ghetto personality. When he went to Pittsburgh he adopted his aw-shucks country boy persona that is so infuriating. Oh. …
