Seriously, guys, we need to refrain from making jokes about this because this stuff is why other teams hate us.
1. No it isnt.Seriously, guys, we need to refrain from making jokes about this because this stuff is why other teams hate us.
This is top notch.It's too bad nobody did that to the Dolphins before their game, it may have actually woken them up for kickoff.
The random, caption-less photo of Tomlin makes it seem like they are implying he was the perpetrator. Also, I love the last line "The Steelers were awakened by the alarm but may still be able to get a decent amount of rest before today’s 6:40 p.m. ET kickoff."http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/01/22/police-apprehend-boston-man-for-false-alarm-at-steelers-hotel/

I guess that makes Dolphins fans....the Orioles fans of the football universe?You guys really are the Yankees fans of the football universe. Good luck today.
More than likely the proper blood alcohol level.That fire alarm thing is just sad. You need some kind of actual mental disorder to think that is a good idea.
That's fair.Disclaimer: I in no way mean to wrongly convey any personal issue with you by what I'm about to say. This reply is based on the words you typed, with sincerely no background behind it.
That out of the way, this is perhaps one of the douchiest posts I've seen in a bit.
If you think people hate the Pats because they come from Boston and Harvard and Libtards then you're either working with an agenda or you're a tad out of touch. You're also giving the average football fan far too much credit.
They hate the Pats because of scandal and media slant. Because they win and the media plays up narrative. Because they beat the parity system and have a pretty boy QB, a dickhead as a HC and an owner that wear Sketchers with his $1k suit and white collared shirt. Because they've been told to hate all that.
The Steelers and Cowboys got so much institutional love because of how broadcasts worked when they were the premiere franchises and they grew roots far outside their market - they were 'national' teams because they were shown everywhere, much like Notre Dame. They were embraced so much because they didn't have 24 hour media coverage highlighting every little thing and people trying to turn it into a scandal to get clicks. Things were simpler. It had nothing to do with social class or status or political slant and it still doesn't today.
Quite frankly if the Steelers or Cowboys (or any other team in any other of the four major sports) reeled off a run like the Pats over the last fifteen years, they wouldn't receive the love the teams from the 70s or 80s did. It doesn't work like that anymore. Boston being the town doesn't help because of the success of all our sports being so successful the last 15 years, our fans coming off as obnoxious, etc etc. but socio-economic self-association? Come on man. The people calling out in hate on the Pats aren't the type that still wistfully think of Pitt as a steel town. They're idiots watching hottakezzzz and those cross all genres.
I won't even touch the 'rampant anti-intellectualism' as that's like free cookies.
Content aside, it was very well written for a drunken stateThat's fair.
In my defense, I was drunk.
Precision vs. accuracy.Content aside, it was very well written for a drunken state
Honestly, I hope Tomlin goes off with the whole "us against the world" mantra instead of just shrugging it off and focusing on winning the game like...A pats win = Can't wait to hear about how they cheated and got someone to pull fire alarm. You know that's all tomlin will say. Annoying
Don't be critical of the "hero" of mark wahlberg's next movie.Yep, it's dumber than shit. What if there was an actual fire an hour later?
People fucking suck.
Sarcasm.
Sorry. I've dealt with a lot of Steelers fans lately. I'm a little chippy today.He was giving you the jokings, I think.
Edit - Yes.
Yeah, it happens to at least one team almost every year.Didn't this happen to the Pats at the SB two years ago?
With equal time given to the "assholes" comment, I'm sure...And we can be sure this will be mentioned at pre-game/ game -time, giving the Pats haters one more chip.
Well, the standard is that if we don't see Tom Brady's phone, or if there is any mention of a loud noise, or something being pulled, or someone waking up during the night on any texts of people he's ever texted, then he might be generally aware that a fan might do something along those lines.I went out to breakfast this morning and all of the Steeler fans were beside themselves about this. I had a Patriots shirt on and I must have heard ten comments about cheating and pulling the fire alarm. One guy came up and shook his head at us and commented about how low we will go for a game. I had to laugh, people actually believe the team is behind this.

There’s jealousy, there’s envy, there’s stupidity. Sometimes, life is unfair, and you have to suck it up and move on and not use it as an excuse.”
Or a 12 pack and a few shotsThat fire alarm thing is just sad. You need some kind of actual mental disorder to think that is a good idea.
I'd prefer to establish the run early and ho for the big play later.Another big aspect of today's game is whether we can successfully run play action on 1st down early. It will make their LBs have to think more instead of reacting instinctively to the run. Jaws ran an example of this on NFL Matchup show this morning from earlier in the year. It will make running on 1/10 easier later in the game.
All good, as so was I and I sincerely didn't mean to offend.That's fair.
In my defense, I was drunk.
Hey, shit post is shit. It happens! Not your fault.All good, as so was I and I sincerely didn't mean to offend.
Yes, and Gronk slept through the alarm. You soy siesta!Didn't this happen to the Pats at the SB two years ago?
Catching up on this thread so this goes a ways back but....what a great quote. And perfectly apt for BB. I'm one of those who got a bit weak in the knees when Collins was dumped mid-season (post trading Jones etc). I told myself to trust in BB, but still couldn't shake the need for more athletic/talented players. But Brooks puts it just right, and it's been serving BB well for a long, long time. Maybe I should remember that.....Craig Patrick: You're missing some of the best players.
Herb Brooks: I'm not looking for the best players, Craig. I'm looking for the right ones.
Dean College and Stonehill College are in Franklin and Easton, not Foxboro. Or are you referring to all the colleges in that area? e.g. SETI, BSST, Massasoit CC, La Baron Hairdressing Academy, et al...The rampant anti-intellectualism explains, in no small part, why an expansion team from a northeast college town will never be embraced the way the Steelers or Cowboys were.
If you're going to do something that stupid, wouldn't you at least be screaming "Pink Stripes" at the top of your lungs as they put you into the police car?http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/01/22/police-apprehend-boston-man-for-false-alarm-at-steelers-hotel/

The vast majority of our country doesn't realize that the Patriots play 45 minutes outside the city. Not giving a shit about the facts kind of runs with these people. Gillette might as well be on Harvard's campus.Not to reopen things but...

The fact that the TV broadcast returns from every commercial break with shots of the Boston skyline doesn't help with this.The vast majority of our country doesn't realize that the Patriots play 45 minutes outside the city.

Remember when it was Old North Church?The fact that the TV broadcast returns from every commercial break with shots of the Boston skyline doesn't help with this.

yeah and both the Jets and the Giants play in NJ not NY and the Steelers play in...well ok they play in downtown Pittsburgh but whatever.The vast majority of our country doesn't realize that the Patriots play 45 minutes outside the city.

Hey, fuck you.who the fuck wants to see foxboro?

That is awesome. It took me a while to figure out who they were calling Marsha. Brady's nickname in Steeler land.Steeler forum if you're so inclined: http://thesteelersfans.com/forums/
