Is there a bigger asshole in sports than Bill Belichick? Seriously, this is not a rhetorical question...'cuz I can't think of a single person that's worse than BB.

geesh, you allegedly get one married woman to lie under oath about their affair, it winds up costing her custody of the kids, and a guy is labeled for life!

The only thing that the previously cut and the recently retired James Harrison needed to regain his previous form was a game against the rival Ravens. Do you think he is motivated for this game? Just barely missed his 3rd sack of the game.

[madducks]

Ravens have had at least 3 personal fouls so far. Ravens had 3 penalties on one play earlier. First time i ever saw that from one team. Suggs just took a cheap shot at Blount from behind. And the officials just warned both benches. Typical Ravens-Steelers game.

[Judge Jude]

true, and the Ravens worse so far, but isn't this the series where Tomlin went onto the field last year?

so agreed on "typical"

plus for once both the Bengals AND the Browns are still in the way...

overall, while this has been an impressive rivalry, it's also the worst example of violence and injury and the best example of what the league needs to get away from.

and yeah, I remember an OT "getting his bell rung" by Deacon Jones banging on his helmet til he was dizzy, haha.

[madducks]

Roethlisberger with 12 TDs and 862 yards in his last two games!

Martavis Bryant with 5 TDs in his first 3 career games!

Just got done watching the Joe Green number retirement ceremony. One of the best to ever play the game.

Any idea why they waited so long to retire his number?

Daniel Snyder.

They haven't really done number retirements. There was only one before this, and it was done in the 60s.

[jwlincy]

Not sure. They only have 2 retired numbers (Ernie Stautner's #70 & now Joe Greene's #75).

[Hornsby]

Daniel Snyder.

LOL...nah. He's just a typical rich guy who thinks that just because he has money, he's smart and everything should go his way. Not the true evil that is Belichick...
