I agree with most things you are saying yet the last time the Lions played the Browns it was voted the #3 game of 2009 because of the score and the way the game ended! Sure making fun of those 2 teams would be easy because of their past but they just maybe the breakthrough teams of 2011 that is if their is football next year.

It was promised by the NFL at the time that we would not lose ANOTHER home game until EVERY other NFL team had given one up.

Wouldn’t surprise me though that Goodell @nflcommish is a backstabber and would roll out the red carpet for a Rapist and the Steelers. The refs are always biased….Why not Goodell.

btw, no team should have to give up a regular season home game to play out of the country.

even in 2006 when the stadium opened the Cards were 5-11 and still sold out! so Mike, Huuuuuush!!!!
and write about something else.

if the NFL is trying to sell itself to the rest of the world they need to do it with a Ravens-Steelers game!

your knowledge knows no bounds

Just Win Baby = Just Sold Out…lose and stay home

No, that’s on me. Didn’t detect the irony and wondered why you were giving us Ireland’s demographics. The secular terms are more descriptive of the modern conflict and simple to explain if you want to avoid reciting 800 years of history. Loyalists insist the north must remain in the UK. Nationalists favor reuniting with the Irish Republic. And then there are Irish Republicans … yes, a very different breed to Rush and Sarah.

Of course it gets even more confusing to Americans when you start talking about ‘republicans’…

@ burnzy32
Don’t put my Panthers in the same boat as them sorry Browns…at least we’ve been to the Super Bowl!!! Stop hating….

————————————————

Trust me, dude- No one even remembers the one fluke Super Bowl the Panthers reached (and lost). Besides, what *is* the Super Bowl? Oh yeah, it’s the championship game of the NFL. Well, then the Browns have won NINE of those. But of course, those with a narrow view think it’s somehow something different than the championship of the NFL ever since they basically just slapped a different title on it. So, in other words, the Green Bay Packers won the 1st SB in ’67, but the one they won 2 years earlier in ’65 shouldn’t count for anything, right?- since Lamar Hunt hadn’t yet named the game after a rubber ball.

Btw, you forgot to mention that, since that one forgettable SB, the Panthers have had exactly ONE winning season and were a *pathetic* 2-14 last year. You’re calling the Browns “sorry” when your garbage team (that is named after a “region” because there’s not a civilized or important enough city to bear a team’s name) won fewer than half as many games as the Browns did.

Suck it.

Oh, Steelers fans- don’t you worry about it. The league isn’t gonna send the Steelers to Ireland because they know that the trip there and back will be exhausting and may contribute to fatigue during the week and a loss when they get back- and the league doesn’t like the Steelers to lose.

Why are the steelers playing @Arizona next season anyways. The Steelers played the NFC West last in 2007.

_______________
A write to Peter King: “Beginning in 2010, a change was made to how teams are paired in the schedule rotation to ensure that teams playing the AFC and NFC West divisions would not be required to make two West Coast trips (e.g. at San Francisco and at Seattle), while other teams in their division had none (e.g. at St. Louis and at Arizona)”

King’s Response: “Seems a quirky and unimportant rules change that hurts fans to me, because now, potentially and anecdotally, a great player like Ben Roethlisberger could play his entire career and never play in Seattle. The Steelers could go 12 years without playing in Seattle. I don’t like that.”

@superfbfan

Are you serious with this $hit??

How many NFL championships do the Panthers have?

@ burnzy32 and @superfbfan need a history lesson, or they are completely clueless about the NFL.

It is a joke. Not everyone in Ireland is Catholic or Protestant. Ireland has an immigrant population (in addition to descendants of the Protestant population “planted” by the British centuries ago to help conquer the island). It has Muslim and Hindu communities, New Ageists, atheists, and so on, just like the United States. And yes, Jews, too. If you use “Nationalist” and “Loyalist” to discern the political divisions rather than “Catholic” and “Protestant,” it creates less confusion.

I’d prefer the Steelers didn’t play outside the United States. Does anyone have stats on how teams perform the week following an overseas game?

Home : San Francisco, Seattle
Away: St. Louis, Arizona

The list of oppenents for 2011 says:

Home: Seattle, St. Louis
Away: San Francisco, Arizona

That means they play @ Arizona and home to Seattle two time in a row, isnt that incorrect? Shouldnt 2011 be @Seattle and home to Arizona. Not that i’m upset about missing out on going to a home game against Arizona, but it doesnt make sense to me.

The last time the Cards played out of the country in Mexico City, they played a dismal 49ers team and the Cards had zero chance of selling out the game. Now THAT made sense.

And I thought every educated person knew that Ireland was not part of the UK. My mistake.

Also, New Mexico is not part of Mexico.
