They also threw in the '04 Steelers loss to the Ravens (when they knocked Maddox out and the team ultimately went 15-1). Yeah...real notable loss there lol. Though I suppose it is notable, but not in favor of Ravens fans. If Maddox had been starter all year, who knows what would have happened. He may have even started in '05. Thanks Ravens!

This ^. No such thing as a notable loss in 2005 or 2008 for the Steelers. Also, beating us with Dennis Dixon or Charlie Batch isn't that notable. Notice how beating the Brady"less" Pats in 2008 isn't boasted about by Steeler fans? Douchebag sh**bird fans.

And yes of course the players and fans get more pumped up for Steelers vs Ravens, but we win SB's in February while you win yours in September.

Even after all these years, it's wonderful that Baltimore's inferiority complex runs so deep.

Name another NFL team/franchise that celebrates another team's failures more than their own team's success. Besides Cleveland, I don't know anyone else.

Don't flatter yourself. The Ravens are just another team Steelers fans hate. Alongside the Cowboys, Browns, Bengals, and Patriots. Just because we hate the Ravens doesn't mean we're "circling our calenders" for when we play you. At the end of the day, you are just another game, and another opponent standing in our way. When (Yes, When) the Steelers beat the Ravens Sunday, it's not the end of the season, we don't win the Super Bowl, it's just on to next week.

Even when we lost to you last year, we were too busy LAUGHING at your weak attempts. We were LAUGHING at your Gatorade Baths. So you see, even when you beat us, you still manage to make fools of yourselves.

Unlike you Purple-Wearing losers, we have higher standards and don't suffer from an inferiority complex to another team and organization. You don't see Pittsburgh papers celebrating Ravens losses, because it's pathetic.

It'll be a good game Sunday, but that's it.

Only advantage Pats have is no Duke players are married to supermodels

i wasn't talking in terms of success. i was comparing the universal hatred shared by all but the fans of those 2 teams. your either a fan of them or you hate em... there is no neutral ground.

just read it and wow, most of the memorable losses happened when ben got injured?

figures they're all praying for our QB to get injured, classless bums

Take it for what it's worth, Baltimorons but you'll never be or even come CLOSE to replicating us. HERE WE GO!

Hate to say this but they beat us twice last year and got farther in the playoffs than we did. They have the bragging rights until that is rectified. We don't know what this season will end up like yet but they do have a better record than we do and we haven't played them head to head yet. They won the close ones. We lost two close ones to crap teams.

I think Kentucky basketball might be a better comparator to New England and the Yankees might be a better comparator to Duke - all 4 are perceived as smug and arrogant but only 2 of the 4 are regarded as cheaters

Of course it is better to be successful and hated as opposed to unsuccessful and pitied (see, e.g., the Pittsburgh Pirates)

Casey Hampton sums up why the Steelers are inside Baltimore's collective head

It's the Steelers' hottest rivalry and among the best in the NFL, but do their players really hate the Baltimore Ravens?

"You know 'hate' is a terrible word to say," said nose tackle Casey Hampton, who has been part of this series for a dozen years. "I think they hate us, though."

So, why would hate be terrible word for the Steelers to use and not the Ravens?

"Probably because we knock them out of the playoffs all the time. Isn't that what they say. I'd hate us, too."

I'll admit that we defnitely get up for these games, but I hope you aren't arguing that your team doesn't prepare harder for us as well. It's going to be hard to convince me of that after that KC game.

The Gatorade thing, and I posted this on your NFL board when it happened, was ridiculous. I would like to see more poise after a win, but we really, really hate you guys. Don't mistake resentment for envy.
