I was born in Charleston. Down there, when I was young, the Bengals would be on more often than not. I grew up a Bengals fan. At the age of 12 I moved to Fairmont.....Steeler country. So, I have more of a reason to hate Pittsburg than anyone. I respect them though. I respected Ward (even though he was one of the dirtiest players at his position ever), I respected Lloyd, Woodson, Harrison, and all the greats. I respect Big Ben. I cheered for them when they beat Arizona.
Please understand that respect is earned, and the Steelers have done that over a long period of time. But don't you think it's coming time to give Cincy there due? That loss was exactly like a younger brother screaming out of frustration because older brother doesn't give them any respect. As a younger brother and a Bengal fan....I recognize what was at the heart of that meltdown. Although Porter, Shazier, and company did their part....my boys self-destructed. That being said.....your boys got outplayed by us once again in that game. Keep acting like you guys are above us in so many ways.....and the day will come.it might be coming soon too.
