“You know, why did Chuck Noll never get another shot? He was only 59 when he “retired” from the Steelers.”
Charles Henry was far too smart to ever go back to coaching, which had competely changed since he took over the Steelers in 1969.
Players were men back then. He had guys like Joe Greene, who hated losing so much he was practically uncoachable until Noll taught him how to rein in his aggression; and Rocky Bleier, who after having his foot practically blown off in Vietnam came back to rush for 1,000 yards.
The NFL prima donna was already beginning to surface in when he turned in his whistle in1991, and he wanted no part of that. He always said that if he had to motivate his players he had the wrong players and needed rid of them.
Instead he turned his attention to his lovely wife Marianne and son Chris, his sailing, his world-class wine cellar and his famous rose garden.
He’ll always remain the best coach in pro sports history, having pioneered the stunt 4-3 and the 3-4 zone blitz, being the first true champion of African-Americans in the NFL and, oh yeah, still being the only guy to ever win four league championships in the most demanding professional sporting league on the planet.
Just like Charles Henry, I’d have taken my well-earned days of wine and roses over the 20 hour/day grind of modern coaching any day.

Keep making excuses Pervyharvin. Im done with you since judging by your recent comments you are a child not an adult. My guess is you are about 17. Buh bye.

Pervyharvin – where is my apology for you being a dumbass?

Favre did his job.
The Steelers D did their job and then some.
The bottom line for the Vikes is that they need Antoine Winfield back on the field.
The secondary is dreadful without him out there.
Mendenhall is a beast for the Steelers. They made the right choice there.

Harvin – I agree with you on one thing, we are not SB caliber like we were last year, but…luck did not kiss us today, for instance, give the Steelers that TD that was called back due to that bogus ‘Pass Interference Call’. Give the Vikings that Sidney Rice TD, which i admit should have been called. Take away the Steelers fumble recovery return TD since it happened right after what should have been a Sidney Rice TD. And what do you get? You still have Pitt winning by 3 to 4 points.

Two things. First, the Steelers penalty was properly called. The receiver made contact with the defender preventing him from covering the assigned receiver. That’s a pick and illegal, despite the ball going to the other side of the field. Unless Steelers fans are talking about another play…
Second, do many of you realize that Mr. Florio only answers questions in the chat? He then posts some here. From the questions here, I don’t think many get it.

This game is actually exciting.

Damn Viking fans! The call against the Steelers was bogus and the TD was taken away, Sidney Rice TD got taken away to a call that should have been called, either way both teams got TD’s taken away, quit your whining! the better team won! The refs made 2 bad calls that benefited both teams, give it a break already!

Did they really just say Antrel Rolle can throw the ball 90 yards? Yeah the Browns could use him considering neither of their two Autistic Quarterbacks can complete a pass of more than 5 yards.

Mike Florio is one of the men who stare at goats.

I really see three options for the Browns for the rest of the season…
1) Keep Derek Anderson in and probably go 1-15
2) Put Brady Quinn back in and probably go 1-15
3) The whole team gets Swine Flu and they just cancel the rest of the season.
Have they fired Mangidiot yet? Or are they waiting to get that $1700 for the bottle of water?

Steelers blow and got lucky as balls to get a win today. Thanks to the refs. Even Florio said that call was piss poor.

@ kravon- Dream on douche. The game was there for the Vikings to take. I would like about 1 minute in a MMA cage with you. You are an over sensitive,whiny ass bitch. Pick on somebody that can’t crush you tree hugger! Go Vikings!!!

I don’t see where the Steelers fans are whining. They are answering a question that was posted.
If you look at the play again, you will see that his legs were, indeed, used to trip/knock down the player.

csloan99…
Umm. I’m pretty sure it was the Vikes fans cying about officiating. The steelers fans were merely pointing out that bad calls happened both ways. But your bias would impede the observance of that pesky fact, now wouldn’t it?

I can’t believe Collingsworth just described a stiffarm from Cardinals “Beanie” Wells as a “Nice Facial.” Are you kidding me???

What’s spooky is that my “Magic 8 Ball” gave me nearly all the same answers Mike Florio did tonight.

Mike: I think the Steelers are the whiniest bithcines in all of football, given that they are complaining here about petty calls by the referee even though they won the game.

Mike, did you play Ponyboy Curtis in the movie “The Outsiders?”
Also, are Vikings fans the whiniest bitches in all of football?

Steelers-Vikes: Bad tripping call that nullified a td for the vikes; bad pick call that took a td away from pitt; and very large hold that wasn’t called on the Percy Harvin return. Other than that, that was the best officiating I’ve seen to date.

And how do hey count the ratings for people like me who are watching both games back and forth?

I want my apology from Pervyharvin.

By: Mook

Mook — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:58:41 +0000

about as bogus as the “pick” called against the steelers in the first quarter that nullified their td. only difference is that the steelers didn’t wilt.

How bogus was that “tripping” call to cost the vikings the game today?

As a Packers fan what can I come away with, as far as this game is concerned ?
