Beckham is the biggest douchebag in the game currently. He gets physically manhandled and he turns into a crybaby who can't control himself. Then, he turns it around and does this. I hope someone earholes him across the middle next game and is knocked out.

With Terrible.

In addition to the Iverson, I watch that and I see Norman beg for a flag 6 times with a whiny gesture, then try and fail to grab Beckham's foot to trip him.

Not that Beckham is blameless but now we have an storyline about Beckham, and somehow Norman (and Finnegan) escape the "punk" designation.

So Pittsburgh is 8-5?

That seems about right. It's a shame people have been treating them like they're 11-2 or something.

Like I said earlier, Norman was giving it as much as he was getting it. Beckham behaved poorly today but let's not ignore that the guys opposite him were goading him on and behaving poorly themselves.

Umm I watch football to watch a football game.

I did not realize that to you, two punks jarring at each other, takin cheap shots and doing dances that make them look like even bigger jackasses = football. Couldn't you just watch some mtv reality tv show and get your fix of idiocy there?
If they were really just two punks, then fine. Cut them, even. But they're the best players in the entire world at their positions. They don't distract from the game, they ARE the game. And if you really like football so damn much I'd argue that football-wise they brought out the best in each other.

Miami is so bad I can't even get myself scared for that game. Jets game is going to be the big one, especially since it means so much to both teams.

“@josephperson: Norman says fine if Beckham wants to "dance and prance around like a ballerina," but he shouldn't try to be something he's not. ie, tough.”

But no one is going to be talking about the matchup football wise (which I agree was great). Their collective douchbaggery and antics overshadowed a great matchup of world class athletes. We get replays of their stupid shit and tv time of dancing or beckham still celebrating on the sideline. Remove that annoying bullshit and the conversation would be about the football part of the matchup. But it's not. Because they are grown men who act like children and it takes away focus from one of the best football matchups of a great game.

And to think some people are rooting for the Broncos because they rather not play the Steelers..
As someone who has said this, it was based solely on the emergence of the Pitt passing game. As to their defense, we have seen already this season a team with a shitty defense (Giants) give the Pats all they could handle.

My rule of thumb at this time of year usually is pretty simple: When you can see a potential threat eliminated, that's what you root for. The Steelers losing would hurt their chances. The Broncos would be a playoff team regardless
