A Bengals Fan Speaks Out to Steeler Nation

A Letter To Steeler Nation:

Steeler Nation,

First off, congratulations on winning your sixth Super Bowl Championship. I trust it still rests comfortably atop your collective mind. Secondly, I must say, I admire your obsession with your team. A Steeler fan seems always willing to display his or her loyalty anywhere in the world, at times creating awkward, even socially-damaging effects, yet one carries on undeterred.

And, thirdly, it is impossible to call you a group made up largely of bandwagoneers because you’re rarely absent from the playoffs and it’s hard to lose fan support when the team always wins. So there you have it.

Now, with all pleasantries aside, it’s time to speak of your team’s identity. What the universe should agree upon is that the Steelers are made up of defense and a running game—any dumbbell knows that. However, let’s not pretend that a central characteristic to your team’s success is not deception. Within the past six years, the Steelers have been the experts at the ol’ trickeration, often times at the Bengals’ expense–most notably in the dreaded playoff game of 2005; a play that sealed the fate of the Bengals’ season and still causes the venom to rise in the mouths of bitter Who-Deyers today.

And your defense is run by a man who predicates his whole philosophy on the slight-of-hand. One could produce an entire college thesis on the deceptive strategies of Dick LeBeau’s defenses. He’s always one step ahead of the league because he continues to trick everyone.

My beef, Steeler Nation, is that you assume that what you see unfold every year is due to sheer strength and determination, when there is something more cunning there, more conniving. I’m not at all saying that you’re dirty, I’m saying you’re sneaky. You want a sheer muscle team who socks you in your mouth? Try Baltimore. Pittsburgh will outsmart the Ravens, yes, but that doesn’t mean you’re tougher.

A feeble Bengals’ fan like myself has no defense to your many, many championships and your apparent sheer awesomeness. You need not even look in our direction when we simpletons from Southern Ohio & Northern Kentucky exercise our underdeveloped vocal chords about how maybe you’re the evil genius who wins in the end rather than the muscle-bounded hero everyone else was rooting for. That’s why we don’t like you, Steeler Nation; you’re Iago, you’re Gargamel, you’re Skeletor. I’d rather not face it either; I don’t blame you, but you suck. You must at least acknowledge, someday, and hopefully soon, that you suck.

Best of luck this season. Go jump off a cliff, just as soon as you can. I truly despise you. Hugs & Kisses.

Sincerely,

B. Clifton Burke

(Ah It gives me such a delicious feeling of schadenfreude to know how tortured the pathetic Bungholes are over our success.

To carry on in the vein of the article the Bungholes are nothing more than a "a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing." Scene V MacBeth by William Shakespeare. - mesa)

the green eyed monster rears its ugly head....

hmmmm 23rd rank rushing attack.... i guess any DUMBASS wouldn't know that..

let’s not pretend that a central characteristic to your team’s success is not deception.

that sneaky play action pass should be banned from the league !!!

And your defense is run by a man who predicates his whole philosophy on the slight-of-hand. One could produce an entire college thesis on the deceptive strategies of Dick LeBeau’s defenses. He’s always one step ahead of the league because he continues to trick everyone.

i think thats called good coaching... i wonder why it doesn't work in bungleland ?

maybe this clown should consider directing his babbling to mr brown instead of steeler fans...

One truly tortured soul.

Do the children of Steeler nation get a free pass or do they have to jump off a cliff as well??

[Preacher]

Funny thing...

He is right... out team is VERY cunning, least on defense. But they have the brawn to back it up and put the smack down on you when the cunning plays are thrown out the window.

Seems he hasn't watched the Ravens-Steelers games lately. No trickery, no cunning, just brutal "slap you momma kick your daddy throw the dog over the fence" football.

[CantStop85]

I'm patiently awaiting all the angry responses from people who only bother to read the last few lines...

[mulldog24]

That poor pathetic Bungles fan should be the one to jump off of a cliff and end their missery!!!! Bungles sucked then,suck now,will allways SUCK!!!!!!!!

[Galax Steeler]

That is a funny article and it could only come from a Bengals fan.

Pittsburgh will outsmart the Ravens, yes, but that doesn’t mean you’re tougher.

Look James Harrison right in the eyes and say that with a straight face,

And live to tell about it.


Poor Bungle fans....welcome to my world!

MMMM, not tough eh? Tell that to Kieth Rivers. As the Jethro Tull song says BUNGLE IN THE JUNGLE
