Well at least the Steelers have one person good at kicking.

We don’t care... It’s fun to see the rest of the NFL so paranoid while we’re just lining up Gronk unmatched on the outside.

Nahh.....the Patriot centers are probably instructed to snap the ball the *instant* a D-lineman shifts on a goal line play and then Brady sneaks through the hole. “Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........they snapped the ball while our defense was still moving..........wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....she said she wanted to have…

“four straight SB losses”

This is complete bullshit. The Steelers scored a TD on the exact same shift by running a play into the just-vacated hole. Ben’s just pissed because the Patriots backup O-lineman played better than his backups.

I’ve been pretty happy with the relative rationality that Deadspin has used throughout this whole offseason in terms of all the various -gates and -ghazis, but come on. Unwritten rules? If this were against any other team you would be laughing at him and telling Big Ben to go tryout for the St Louis Cardinals.

This appears to fall under a disturbingly discoloured grey area.

I know the NFL rulebook is long and long-winded as fuck, but I did not expect to see the word “disconcert” in it. I interpret this to mean the inside linebackers can’t make eerie howling noises at the opposing center in the hope of making him shit all over himself and his quarterback’s hands.

I’m so tired of Ben Roethlisberger trying to shove his shit down people’s throats.

So...

If the Pats really wanted to draw Big Ben offsides, all they needed to do was have their safety wear a short skirt.

“Maybe it’s just an unwritten rule.” Great, let’s make football more like baseball. We should check with Brian McCann to get final judgement on this.

My wonder at this point is if we will get through a single NFL game this year without a stupid, contrived mini-controversy to keep everyone consistently talking about the fucking NFL. Trying to enjoy this league is such a chore.

The weakness is they didn’t try. He was uncovered on two of his touchdowns. His 3rd touchdown, he was covered by Terrance Garvin, a linbacker who’s last noticeable play was breaking a punter’s jaw.

Yeah The Steelers sucked on D, try blaming LeBeau now, but isn’t this behavior right in line with what Mangini said in the ESPN piece? If you film us in Giants Stadium I’m outing your whole operation to the world. Really I’d like to think there’s some form of Karma coming to these assholes.

That CLEARLY explains the times Gronk steamrolling over Pittsburgh defense

It seems like you’ve made up your mind what happened and you’re trying to figure out how it makes sense despite the NFL’s own denial.

Apparently Yoda and Obi-Wan were great at hiding babies as Vader never found them.
