HERE WE GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!

Let me start this by saying I thought the Denver Broncos are a class act. Their fans, their players, their coaches, everything, top to bottom showed these guys had alot of class. Now "class" is a word that is way overused especially in sports. Some people would say that Peyton Manning laying the blame on his offensive line, the line that protected his ass all season, was classless. I don't think that takes away from Peyton Manning having class. It just proves he's the asshole that I have always accused him of being. Adversity sometimes brings out the worst in people. (Talk about a cliche`!) As far as I'm concerned Peyton Manning has not done anything that I would call "classy". Denvers fans could have been assholes and thrown snowballs at the Steelers when they were getting their asses stomped. The Broncos could have started fights and let the frustration of the day get the better of them. The coaches could have tried to make excuses and blamed poor calls, and dirty play. They didn't. Just kind words and well wishes. Now things like that are forgotten. If Mike Shanahan was to say "Pittsburgh got lucky today" Now that would be written about and commented on for several days. The Colts people just made excuses for how they didn't play their best game. How the calls went against them. How the protection was bad. And then in the end say "Yeah and Pittsburgh played a good game." Yeah that was the least of it. Pittsburgh executed and you didn't. Plain and simple. Pittsburghs entire team stopped Manning and he made it his personal responsibility to try and bring them back. Only problem is one man can't do it. Manning is a good passer, but a poor quarterback. To be a good quarterback you need leadership skills and Manning is all about framing himself in history. He wants to get back what his father lost. No leadership required with that. In Cincinatti it was worse. "It was dirty what their guy did to Palmer". Marvin Lewis was talking about Rothlesberger crying? Chad Johnson says that they were the better team? Noone outside of Cincinatti and Phil Simms believed that Cincinatti was the better team. Cincinatti benefited from a 13 years of top draft picks and a defense that finally got off its collective nuts! In the end the bad form shown by the losers will be all thats remembered. Denvers graciousness will be forgotten, and that's a shame.
