Buccaneers messed me up with that kneel down.

Even a field goal would’ve helped with Bucs -7 and the Over

Ermagerd this harassment thing again? Quick pull the trigger on that Sean Taylor number retirement thingy we have in the can.

Also pleeeeeeease force Snyder to sell.

I think the “we were doing an investigation in WFT but the only thing we released were Gruden’s emails” things pretty much guarantees the NFL will never try to force out Snyder. He probably has something on the other owners

The disrespect to Sean Taylor is truly a sad thing.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

I feel bad for @RonnieFranchise and other WFT fans. Their franchise is being held hostage by a scumbag and he's likely never going to sell it. He's completely ruined the team and made them impossible to root for with all of the scandals

As a pirate fan I feel bad for no one

When I lived in WFT Redskins DC country, there was a sort of birds of a feather kinship between the Pirate fan in me and the football fan in that area. It wasn't hard to kinda root for them, as their rivals in the area were the Ravens and Eagles. Their hatred for Pretzel Boy was up there with my hatred for Pirate ownership.

Heck, a coworker called me the day Roethlisberger was drafted and congratulated us. Weird that was the same year Sean Taylor was drafted. That's the one and only draft I followed so closely that as soon as Manning/Rivers went 1/4, I knew we were getting Ben.

The more I think about it the more I think the WFT should have leaned into that name and went full euro-footballers club. Get a coat of arms, start the WFT Hooligans (like the Bills mafia), come up with some unique chants/heckles for the fans to shout in unison while at the game.

I like them not having a mascot/name.

Hog-igans...

IIRC the NFL wasn't allowing that, and I think it's largely more popular than whatever crap they're coming up with now.

"per me."

[meow]

I’m gonna start using “per me”

[LITT]

lol what a conflated sense of self worth

[shmenguin]

Per you, maybe

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

I read that as "for me" at first and was thinking that the Eagles got hosed.

[willeyeam]

So this was a real thing

[shafnutz05]

I knew it was true. But that's insane.

[mikey]

I recalled looking at yards generated by PI and distinctly recall Flacco being in the top 3 of that list for a period of time...maybe even 1...

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

it’s like in an online sports video game where the little **** opponent finds an exploit that works every time

[RonnieFranchise]

Seriously, it is just absolutely painful that the franchise went from a years long waiting list for season tickets 30 years ago to a stadium that's either full of Cowboys, Giants, Eagles, Packers, Steelers fans or, if they are playing some other team with low following- empty.

It's hard to tell what the man's endgame is. Make money, obviously, but imagine how much money he could make if the thing was actually run correctly. Stadium's not in a good location, which is Jack Kent Cooke's fault, but everything that goes on within it is on jackass and his co-CEO wife. Jesus Christ. Hey we hired the first woman NFL CEO! Hey nice job, Snyder! Wait... it's your **** wife?

They were at the point where they had to change the name but they lost yet more fans when they pulled the trigger. They took a historic original NFL franchise and in 25 years made it into a team like Jacksonville, Houston, LA, where people in a transient city can go see their team when it comes to town. I stick with them, at 50 years old what the hell else am I gonna do?

Switching to being a Steeler fan would have been easy. Hey I root for the WTAF, Pirates, and West Ham United. I never, ever, do nothing nice and easy.

If I ever find out where he lives I'm gonna take a dookie on his lawn.

I feel your pain Ronnie. At this point, I almost don't want them to succeed just so they can hit rock bottom, which never seems to actually happen. There's always a lower level they go. They don't have any identity as a team and aren't fun to follow. They want from The Hogs, and The Posse, and Riggo to a bunch of high priced free agent busts and draft busts to a bunch of nondescript players.

[NTP66]

I love it.

[nocera]

Man I hate NFL OT rules.
