Colin Cowherd: “The standard in Pittsburgh used to be winning Super Bowls. Now [under Mike], it's, uh, they had never had a losing season".

Sarge said:
Horseshit. When a team claims to have a standard of excellence, and provides excellence, you expect excellence.

When a team claims to have a standard of excellence, but consistently falls short of anything resembling excellence and you call that out, you aren’t spoiled.

I mean, the Steelers haven’t been to the Super Bowl since the 2011 season, and haven’t won a playoff game since 2016. Do we wait until the Steelers become the Cleveland Browns before we’re not spoiled anymore?

The Steelers have a history and tradition of excellence and winning football. To suggest the reason they’ve been mediocre for the last 11 years is because they aren’t cheating is asinine. There’s nothing wrong with expecting excellence from an excellent franchise, especially when they claim that’s the standard.

Well said... I'm smart enough to know that the Steelers are not going to be in every Superbowl but a few deep playoff runs maybe a few appearances in AFC championship games would have gone a long way and not spawn these questions imo...
 
Well, good to see things didn't change around here while I was on vacation. Hope all you dads had a great Fathers' Day!
As for the topic of the thread, I don't really care what Cowherd has to say. Pretty much ever.
As for "MAGA/Red/Wave/Burgettstown/Backdoor/Bob" ... It is what it is. Anyone who couldn't see him pushing himself beyond the limits in EVERY thread he partook in is being purposefully obtuse/blind. He got banned (again). I don't care. If he would have been allowed to stay, I wouldn't have cared. But, it does seem like he enjoys getting himself banned and then coming back under another alias.
As for Coolie and the ban button, and other folks feeling he uses it in a discriminatory manner. Couldn't give two ***** one way or another.

Well I agree here and there is one thing to note......................

This year coaching won't have BEN holding them back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Coaching is 100% their own players / coaches/ etc.

Maybe this will be the year things change....................

It'll be interesting, that's for sure. The Mike Tomlin Fan Club on social media has been saying for a while that the coaches don't throw the ball, run the ball, catch the ball, or tackle when you point out his playoff record over the last 11 years.

Hmmmm ..... Couldn't be me. I was banned from all activities not related to "family time" for the last 3 days.
Listening to a bunch of "grown-ups" whine about everything and nothing while on a camping trip ... "I'm allergic to mosquitos", "This isn't the beer I usually drink", "We're cooking on an open fire? Why didn't we bring a grill?" Fucktards, each and every one of 'em.
Made the whining that goes on here seem civil.

Tell them it's not camping, it's "Identifying as homeless", and they'll feel better.

Seriously though, who goes on a camping trip and reads the ingredients on the hotdog labels?
Dude, it's a hotdog. It's understood that there's NOTHING in it that's "good for you".

Was camping a couple weekends ago for my annual trip to the big Ford show in Carlisle, PA. I love crunchy percolator coffee in the morning.

Don’t you love it when you go on a camping trip overnight or for two or three days and they bring enough supplies or “stuff” for 3 weeks? I remember one time I took a group by boat to a little island on the lake and I literally had to tell people not to bring so much that we would not have room to move in the boat much less sink it.

Looking back at the OP it seemed spot on regardless of your feelings of Cowherd or the poster... The topic and argument is legit. Two post in he is called an idiot and then a few post later a troll... Who's jumping on who?

OMG who ruffled feathers this time...
Click to expand...
Good to see Cowherd calling it as it is. Too many clueless, liberal publications painting Tomlin as something special, despite him coming off as a complete and total dipsh*t to the majority of us who have been subjected to the details of the last 15 years. Tomlin is the equivalent of a Marvin Lewis. The only difference being that Tomlin has has the luxury of riding the coattails of a HOB QB and a franchise that cares more about politics than Ws.

And 18.4m for Minkah? WTF! Absolutely FOOLISH. Not knocking his play, but we could have found a comparable replacement for him in the draft for a whole hell of a lot less.. Not surprising Omar and Tomlin's first big move together is an epic blunder. As fans, we should get ourselves accustomed to those because I forsee plenty a coming!

Really none of that deserves negative feedback?

the idiot comment two posts in was directly related to the original poster's view on the Minkah contract.

stop acting like the douche is innocent in everything

his post brought in politics and made some idiotic assertions like "a comparable talent to Minkah could be found much cheaper"

the troll comment was accurate since it was obvious this was the same turd crawling out of the sewer

Lol calm down I'm just making obvious observations based on posts, sorry you don't like that but not my fault... The Minkah comment was was a bit harsh but really his stats last year don't show that kind of love money wise... I like Minkah, hope he balls out big time this season... Like I said the issue seems more like a few people not being able to take what they dish out, seems like the post takes that turn once he snaps back... Seems fair to me but I don't have my hand on a ban button when things don't go my way.

no one gets banned here without multiple warnings unless they do something extreme, like blatant racist comments

Going by stats is shortsighted and almost dumb. Then when arguments are given he just ignores them and goes with political agenda

Not really, as I said just making observations to what is clear as day from the post in the order they came... He can be called an idiot all day but when he responds in kind you should be able to take it. His or anyone's opinion on a replacement for Minkah should not trigger you, as you stated it did. Y'all take part in that pissing match you just have a ban button. Sorry just stating obvious.
