Football

I just finished watching the Bengals / Steelers game. It was a great game. Both quarterbacks looked like shit, but the defenses were on fire. It pains me to say it, but the Bengals are the best team in the NFL as of today. Fucking Hell!!! The only negative from the game, aside from the outcome was the Steelers getting penalized twice for the dumbest rule in he NFL.. Taunting. A 15 yard personal foul. What the hell is that?

There's no crying in football. Who came up with this stupid rule? It isn't curling or golf. It isn't cricket or polo. Football isn't a gentleman's game. The NFL is trying to create a false image of the players and their "sportsmanship" Folks this is football. This is a sport where the objective of a defense it to slam the other team, specifically the guy holding the ball into the ground. There is hitting, pushing, shoving, cussing, spitting, sweating and all sorts of unrefined testosterone filled madness . Along with that comes the opportunity to cheer your team on and/or hype yourself. Taunting and celebrating are parts of the game. Whoever came up with that rule obviously never did anything good enough to be able to rub it in the face of their competition. I say we should encourage taunting, end zone celebrations, and all other forms of hype.

Oh yeah, note to Steve and Ralph... My fantasy team is undefeated and ya'll just plain suck.

Dance... dance... wiggle... middle finger... crowd wave

Taunting. E-Rock. 15 yard penalty. 1st Down.

I'll still win.

Piss Off.
