Should read, ” You bet your sweet ass the Steelers OWN Baltimore!!”
OWNNNNSSSS! OWWNSSSSSSS!
We’ll see what 2009 brings InDaBurgh.
You mean in the BARF??
The only thing the Steelers owned in 08/09 were lucky bounces and timely yellow flags (the real terrible towel). It is a new year and if your a steeler fan and you understand football, and are honest with yourself, you know the winds of fortune blew very strong your way with numerous breaks you got in each of the regular season games that had to happen to give you home field advantage and to not play Tennessee and have the injuries that came with that game. You guys are overated and should hope the either Baltimore or Tennessee has mercy on you this year.
pittsburgh owns baltimore and suggs is a puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuussy
2008 games…Steelers 3 Ravens 0. Lucky? I think not. Ravens are losers!
Hey BB. Getting breaks is part of the game. Quit your complaining and find a quarterback. 6 Championships takes more than just luck and Baltimore will NEVER accomplish that task. We will beat you both games this year; hands down. These shirts just prove one thing; Baltimore is already worried about the Steelers and that they are already inside the Baltimore players heads and the season hasn’t even started. We LOVE it. By the bb we have a pretty good hockey team also.
Sincerly the CITY of Champions.
BB-I guess time will tell. when you guys get your faces buried in our turf again this year, will that prove to you that the Steelers own Baltimore or will you find something else to boohoo about?
BE HONEST TO YOURSELF….YOU KNOW THE BURGE IS WHERE IT’S ALL AT!!!!
It will take a lot more than a T-Shirt to stop the Steelers Suggs. Baltimore is just getting older and the Steelers got 6 Trophys. Call it what you want,but I call it 2 superbowls in 4 years.
Hey bb, I can understand your frustration getting beat 3 times in one season, especially the third being the AFC Championship game, but lucky c’mon!!! Defense wins Championships and ours was much better than yours not to mention the Ravens lack of offense. The Ravens should get used to finishing 2nd to the 6 time Super Bowl Champs
Haha, i love all the stealers posts on a Baltimore website. Don’t you guys have anything to look at besides Baltimore news? I really hope your O-line has gotten better because this year Suggs is going to bury Worthlisberger. 2009 #1 Defense.
The Steelers will start game planning for the 11/29/09 Ravens game on 11/23/09 and for the 12/21/09 game they will start on 12/27/09 – if the Ravens want to start worring about the Steelers now -more power to them after all what they have been doing in the past hasn’t worked for them. For bb to claim the Steelers are overrate – shows her lack of knowledge for the game.
Don’t understand why there are so many insecure steeler fans on a Raven website. As for you 6 super bowls, the old steelers deserve their props. The new steeler are way overated any rely to much on broken plays and referee induced drives to win, The other super bowl the new steelers won was rated # 1 on the espn worst referee calls in NFL history (Talking about interfernce calls that took away 14 points from Seattle) Check the facts. You guys are living in the past. The new steelers are far from dominate and extermely fortunate to even make the playoffs let alone win a superbowl. Baltimore fans recognize that the Old Balt Colts were dominate but we don’t live in the past. We have moved on to the Ravens and you can ask you own steeler players how fortunate they were to beat Balt last year. You guys need to face the facts and let go of the past. bb
lol wow..that is ridiculously lame. Like really..you couldnt think of anything better than “you bet your sweet ass I hate the steelers” ???? Sounds like something my homosexual friend would say…way to go ravens!
BB, is a typical Baltimore football fan, shallow and uninformed. Who cares what Baltimore thinks, besides killing each other what is there to read about them in the news?
They hate use because they can’t beat us There’re nothing more than a door mat that we walk on every year.
bb–
We were linked here from a Super Bowl Champion Steelers site to see how you have steeler-envy. And keep spewing your thoughts(excuses) to help you feel better.
You guys have a short memory. It was just a couple of years ago after your referee enduced victory against Seattle that the Ravens came back the next year and beat up the Steelers in the two regular season games (before we went to the playoffs) so bad that your great tough coach Bill Cowder decided to retire. Talk about an ass whoppin. When you guys beat us it with a broken play or ref flag. When we beat you it is ussually humiliation. bb
bb you talk more crap then the cry babies ravens do, get a life. the STEELER will alway be in your head just like they are in the raven’s heads.the STEELER will alway be a force WE ARE THE STEELER NATION
bb “aka idiot”
Nice championship game last season. Flunky Flaky looked great (what was it negative 60 offensive yards) owe yea Baltimore had a chance, right. Keep running your mouth and we will let the 2009 season tell the tale. I am looking forward to your lame comments again next year and a new t-shirts because that is all Baltimore can do. The past is part of the Steeler nation and we will never forget it. If you go by your theory of “blown calls” the Steelers have had more against them than for them over the years. If you had ever put pads on on walked onto the grid iron you would know that bad calls will always be part of the game. Let me guesse you played soccer right? Thought so.
The sad thing is if the Ravens don’t do well in the next 5 years you wont have a football team in Baltimore. Can you say The LA Ravens. The Ravens will be 8 and 8 this year if they have bad calls going their way.
The City of Champions
I hate to say it but the Steeler fans are right! Why is it that when we get beat 3 times in a year by the team that went on to win the superbowl do we say that they are over rated and lucky and rely on lucky calls? They torched us every time they played us and we just throw stupid insults like bb is doing (“remember like 3 or 4 years ago when um, we won and stuff”) enough dude, we our sweet asses handed to use, suck it up and hope for a better year. Steeler fans, please don’t think that all Baltimore fans are this pathetic, you guys are very deserving of the superbowl win that you got… Some people are just bitter.
Looks like Suggs is cranky from getting his arse whooped!
awww.. poor ravens.. just think of it this way.. at least you’ll only have to lose to the steelers twice this year! 🙂 wah wah wah
Someone help with the infestation.
How has this not been brought up? Baltimore is CLEARLY scared of Team Steel!
http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2009/03/20/ravens-ask-nfl-not-to-schedule-prime-time-game-in-pittsburgh/
It’s OK Steelers fans, maybe Suggs will become a UFA one day. Until then, Baltimore will remain the best LB core in the league. I can understand why you would be jealous of such a great player wearing something that pokes fun at your team.
Pittsburgh has more Titles then their ave. fan has teeth…6
If Pittsburgh is such a great town, why do all of your citizens move to Maryland? Oh, to get a job. Bus my table!
Its funny how men with tendencies have a hard time with facts. Unfortunately even the ravens have fans with tendencies who go both ways, if raven the raven is really a Baltimore fan ? I don’t know what game he was watching but to say the ravens got torched is weird almost the kind of thing a flamer or a steelers fan living in the past would say. bb
BB you are the best advocate against Steelers fans I have heard in quite a while. Funny 2. RavingTHeRavens you are so lame and i hope you are a female. With that statement please stop being a fan we don’t want you. Its us against them and really we can just settle it outside.
facts speak for themselves. end of story. i am so tired of “everyone” saying we got the break in both superbowls in the last 4 yrs. we have nothing to prove; just look at the scoreboards!!! the nfl is very good about issuing apologies if they screw up a call(trust us, we have had quite a few apologies). get over it. yeah, the rivalry is cool, but it is time for you to understand that reality is exactly that; plain and simple. in the end, we are the city of champions.. now, i am proud of the fact that you are not the only team in our division with killers(see cleveland); good work b-more. and, like EVERY good and humble steeler fan- good luck this season! may the games be down to the wire, and the best team win!
Speaking of killers and Rapist, who’s your back up quaterback this year, i hope he is good and hasn’t been to vegas in the last 2 years. Oh yeah I forgot, there is some behind the scene deals going on with the rooney family that will probably sway the officials in that one too! bb
BB
Get a clue dude. Your “team” is a band of thugs that plays dirty ball. Your record proves that this inevitably fails you; year in, year out.
Besides that, your city is a crime-ridden ghetto that has no unity, no love and no future. You’ve been riding the coat tails of the rest of the east coast for decades. The only thing “fun” there is the Inner Harbor where lowly Baltimorians go to drown their sorrows in an overpriced drink.
Now I’m not here to knock you, or Baltimore. But it really must suck to live in such a hell hole and to have a team that’s best attribute is it’s own criminality. (Ray = MURDERER and you know it).
If there was any substance to the Roethlisberger charge, don’t you think there would be a criminal complaint? The b-tch is a wh-re turned gold digger that got shunned after she f–ked a football player.
Not to worry… soon your band of thugs will be in LA where they belong and you’ll be whining on some other forum. Til then, keep up your crying… we’ll keep winning.
These big kids just will not grow up. They are just jealous that their team cannot catch up to the Steelers as far as winning Super Bowls.Instead of being so jealous they should just play the game that they are getting paid all them big bucks PLAY THE GAME and maybe they could go to the Super Bowl. Grow up guys
GO STEELERS
Just a simple recap of last years season – as quoted on Wikipedia – ALSO included is an overview of both Baltimore regular season games – with no great bounces or one way ref calls – just hard play by the Steelers.
2008 Season Recap
The 2008 Pittsburgh Steelers season was the franchise’s 76th season in the National Football League (NFL). The season concluded with the team winning Super Bowl XLIII to become the first franchise in the NFL with six Super Bowl titles.
The Steelers entered the season as defending champions of the AFC North Division, coming off a 10–6 record in 2007. Based on the previous season’s results, the team faced the most difficult schedule in the league, however, they were called Super Bowl contenders by ESPN. The Steelers opened their regular season on September 7, with a win over the Houston Texans en route to a 12–4 record, and a second straight AFC North Division title. In his second season as head coach Mike Tomlin was selected in fan balloting as the Motorola Coach of the Year.Linebacker James Harrison was named the NFL’s defensive player of the year after leading a defense which set the standard for the league as measured by scoring as well as total yardage. The playoffs began on January 11, 2009, with a win over the San Diego Chargers. The following week saw the third victory of the season over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship game and the advancement to Super Bowl XLIII where the Steelers defeated the Arizona Cardinals on February 1, 2009.
Game One
Donning their throwback uniforms, the Steelers played the Baltimore Ravens in their first Monday Night game of the season. Multiple Steelers starters did not play in the game, due to various injuries. After a 3–3 first quarter, Baltimore took a ten point lead into half time with a field goal and touchdown pass in the second quarter. Rashard Mendenhall—in his first NFL start—left the game in the third quarter with a season-ending shoulder injury. On Pittsburgh’s third drive of the half, Roethlisberger connected with Santonio Holmes for a 38-yard touchdown pass. On the first play of Baltimore’s ensuing drive, James Harrison’s forced fumble was picked up by LaMarr Woodley and returned 7 yards for a touchdown. The two touchdowns within 15 seconds took the Steelers from ten points behind to four points ahead. In the final quarter, the Steelers’ offense was stopped on the one yard line and Reed kicked his second field goal of the night. Baltimore drove 76 yards and tied the game with a touchdown. Neither team was able to score on their final drive as the regulation clock expired.
Baltimore won the overtime coin toss and elected to receive. The Ravens started the drive at their own 15 yard line. The Steelers held them for no gain on the first two plays and Lawrence Timmons sacked Flacco on third down. The Steelers took over after a punt and Mewelde Moore caught a 24 yard reception to bring the Steelers to Baltimore’s 31-yard line. Jeff Reed converted a 46-yard field goal to win the game for the Steelers. Reed was named the NFL’s special teams player of the week. With the win the Steelers passed the Ravens for first place in the AFC North at 3–1, as well as extending their all-time record of 14 consecutive home wins on Monday Night Football.
Game Two
Entering their second game of the season against Baltimore, the Steelers’ defense ranked first in the league, while the Ravens’ defense ranked second. “We’re going to win by any means necessary. If the defense has to score, if the special teams have to kick in a score, or if the offense has to score 50 points — whatever it takes to win,” stated James Harrison prior to the game.
Both teams were held scoreless before a record crowd at M&T Bank Stadium until a Baltimore field goal gave the Ravens a 3–0 lead at 12:34 of the second quarter. Pittsburgh tied the game on a Jeff Reed field goal; Matt Stover converted a second time to give the Ravens a three point lead at halftime. Stover kicked his third field goal of the game in the third quarter, extending their lead to six points. In the final quarter, Reed kicked his second field goal of the game to put the Steelers within three points. On the Steelers final drive of the game, the offense drove 92 yards over 2:53, with Ben Roethlisberger completing a touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes with 50 seconds remaining. The Ravens embarked on one more drive, but the Steelers second interception of the game prevented them from scoring. With the victory the Steelers won their second consecutive AFC North title and clinched a first round bye and became the first AFC franchise to amass 550 wins.
If Maryland is so bad then why to we have all these Pennsylvania people here looking for work. Pittsburg has a good team that had alot of fortanate bounces or plays that got them a ring. You got a ring and thats cool this year but it is a new year, but don’t make them out to be some great team like the old steelers or 49rs or Dallas etc.. The other kicker is, you hang on to the steeler name but the days of steel mills and the steel workers are in the past just like the great old steeler teams. It sad but true. Maybe you should change your name to the blue birds or something. Do you even have birds in pittsburg? Be thankfull for the many bounches and brakes (like the ball that bounched to the # 1 defensive play maker ed reed in the final game of reg season that starks just happened to be laying on the ground at the exact perfect spot to grab him and prevent a TD. That was luck. If reed scores, game over with 7 not 3 pts and you play tenn in the wild card and we saw what tenn did to pittsburg. Again you are a good team but had an unusual amount of breaks so the chances of you repeating with the same team are not good. Be thankfull, just like all you pennsyvania people that are living in Md, that you have a job.
