Football
When you think of the Pittsburgh Steelers, you think of class, dignity, the Rooney Rule and numerous Super Bowl Championships. A Blue Collar city with shitty food, frosty winters and people with goofy accents. The Steelers are a much-respected NFL Franchise, right at the top with the Patriots (sans cheating), Bears (sans being awful) and Giants (sans Plaxico cheddar-bobbing himself). But now when I think of Pittsburgh, I think of the god-awful Pirates, Sidne
y Crosby breaking the hearts of Americans with a cheap goal in overtime and mostly Big Ben raping chicks without penalty. Big Ben is quickly wearing out his welcome in the hearts of all those who supported the Miami of Ohio Quarterback and has done everything in his power to make Steelers fans put their hands on their head and say 'WHY???'
It is not clear when exactly Big Ben stopped giving a crap about anyone but himself, but it is clear that he does not anymore. This timeline of idiocy and douchary began back in 2006 with his much publicized motorcycle incident. First and foremost, I use the South Park rule when it comes to people who ride motorcycles. They are the worst people. The motorcycle merely perpetuates the rider’s loud and obnoxious behavior, and this coming from a kid from Long Island. After taking the Steelers to the ship in the worst Super Bowl ever played against Seattle, Ben went for a joy ride sans helmet and crashed his bike into everything except the Heinz sign at the stadium. Hey, if Ben wants to ride a motorcycle, go crazy dude. But do yourself a favor and wear a helmet. After Kellen Winslow and Duke’s Jay Williams nearly died doing the same shit, you may want to strap it up. Instead of saying he was sorry, Ben stated, “You feel more free without a helmet.” Idiot. You get paid millions to play pro football buddy, your head is your best friend.
Now on to the raping(s). Look, I understand that football players get laid. In fact all athletes get laid, its part of the territory of being famous. Look at Wilt Chamberlain. Women throw themselves at anything with a jersey; it doesn’t matter if you’re Lebron James or you’re a reject from the D-League. But there is difference between quietly sexing women and destroying your career because of ineptitude. The Lake Tahoe incident of 2008 featured Big Ben sexually assaulting a chick at a celebrity golf tournament. Now I am not sure whether or not it was consensual, but the bottom line is Ben should keep his snake is his cage when in doubt. In my experience, women are crazy. Ben should’ve known that he may find himself in hot water. If this chick fabricated the story, then shame on her. But the second incident in Georgia gives little credibility to Ben’s side of the story. Recently in Milledgeville, Georgia, Ben was accused again of sexually assaulting another young woman in a night club. The investigation is still pending, but this has to worry Steeler fans and Big Ben fans all over the country. But the real investigation should be into why Ben is such a bloody jackass. He better shape up quickly or he’ll be in the CFL faster than you can say “Argonaut.”

Absolute MUST READ piece on the true story of the life and crimes of Marvin Harrison, former "squeaky-clean" hall-of-fame receiver for the Indianapolis Colts. This will blow your mind....
The Dirtiest Player

"...Nixon was across the street and thirty yards away when [Marvin] Harrison started shooting. Pop pop pop pop pop pop—a great staccato gust of bullets. Steadily, Nixon says, Harrison unloaded both guns into the fat man's car, stippling the red Toyota Tundra with bullet holes as the fat man ducked in his seat. Eventually, the fat man sat up and sped off, heading straight toward Nixon's position as Harrison darted into the street and continued to shoot....
"...On September 3, 1991, when Marvin Woods [Harrison's half-brother] was 17, he was playing in the championship game of a schoolyard hoops league when his coach took him out of the game, subbing in another boy. Woods got angry. He left the game. When he rode back on his bike, twenty minutes later, he was carrying a Tec-9. He sprayed his substitute with bullets, killing him, and rode off. Marvin Woods is currently serving a life sentence for first-degree murder at the State Correctional Institution in Dallas, Pennsylvania. ..."

--The BCS National Championship Game rotates among the sites of the BCS bowls. The title sponsor of the BCS National Championship Game each year will be the same as that of the bowl game in that year's host location.
--The game was first played at the conclusion of the 1998 college football season in accordance with the agreement reached by the Big Ten and Pac-10 conferences and the Rose Bowl Game to join the members of the former "Bowl Alliance" to create the Bowl Championship Series. The Bowl Alliance and its predecessor, the Bowl Coalition, featured championship games from 1992 through 1997. However, these were hindered by the lack of potential participation by the champions of the Big Ten or Pac-10.
--The game was initially rotated among the four participating bowl games, the (Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, and Sugar Bowl). However, beginning with the 2006 season, the BCS National C
hampionship Game became a separate event played at the same site as a host bowl a week following New Year's Day.

--The GMAC Bowl has been played annually at Ladd Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Alabama since 1999.
--From 1999 to 2009, it pitted a Conference USA team against a team from either the Mid-American Conference or the Western Athletic Conference.
--For the game to be played in 2010 the ACC was to participate in the bowl as its ninth bowl tie-in, replacing the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho, in the conference's postseason lineup, but the ACC failed to have sufficient bowl-eligible teams to fill the slot. The Mid-American Conference is the other conference tie-in.
--The game was previously known as the Mobile Alabama Bowl from 1999 to 2000 until it received corporate sponsorship from GMAC Financial Services, formerly a unit of General Motors.
--The 2001 game between the Marshall Thundering Herd and East Carolina Pirates set the record as the highest scoring bowl game of all time, and Marshall achieved what was then the greatest scoring comeback in Bowl history. In this contest, Marshall battled back from a 38–8 deficit to win 64–61 in double overtime. Thundering Herd quarterback Byron Leftwich threw for 576 yards in the game.

--The Orange Bowl is played at LandShark Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
--FedEx has been the sponsor since 1989.
--The Orange Bowl has been played annually since 1935.
--In 1932, George Hussey organized the first Palm Festival Game, predecessor of the Orange Bowl. With Miami suffering from both the Great Depression and the Florida land bust, Hussey and others sought to help its economy by organizing a game similar to Pasadena's Rose Bowl. Following the success of these games, backers organized another game for New Year's Day 1935 under the Orange Bowl name.
--The Orange Bowl is the fourth-oldest bowl game in the country, behind the Rose Bowl, the Sun Bowl, and the Sugar Bowl.
--The Orange Bowl hosted the BCS National Championship Game in 2001 and 2005.

--The Rose Bowl Game has been played on January 1 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California for 95 years.
--When New Year's Day falls on a Sunday, the game is then played on the following Monday.
--The Rose Bowl is nicknamed "The Granddaddy of Them All" because it is the oldest bowl game, first played in 1902, and continuously since 1916. 
--Originally titled the "Tournament East-West football game," the first Rose Bowl was played on January 1, 1902, starting the tradition of New Year's Day bowl games. The inaugural game featured Fielding Yost's dominating 1901 Michigan team which crushed Stanford University by a score of 49–0 after Stanford quit in the third quarter. The game was so lopsided that for the next 15 years, the Tournament of Roses officials ran chariot races, ostrich races, and other various events instead of football. However, on New Year's Day 1916, football returned to stay as The State College of Washington defeated Brown University in the first annual Rose Bowl.
--Since 1945, it has been the highest attended college football bowl game.
--It is a part of the Tournament of Roses "America's New Year Celebration".
--USC has won the most Rose Bowls (24), followed by Michigan (8), Washington (7), and Ohio State (6). Michigan has lost the most (12), followed by USC (9), UCLA and Ohio State (7 each).
--The most frequent Rose Bowl matchup is USC-Michigan, occurring for the eighth time in 2007, with USC holding a 6–2 advantage.
--In 2002 and 2006, the Rose Bowl game was also the BCS National Championship Game.
--In the current BCS alignment, the Rose Bowl will host the designated Big Ten and Pac-10 representatives unless they are involved in the national championship game.

Another college football season is in the books, and we're left with a national championship most of us can feel pretty good about (minus the fact that the team they beat lost their star quarterback in the first 5 minutes of the game or that the team that currently sits at #2 team also went undefeated.) Still, Bama is truly a great team and really can't be blamed for a broken system. They are also now all tied up with Notre Dame for the most national championships in 1-A history with 12. So while there may still be some debate about who really should have been the big winner this bowl season, one thing seems for certain: Charlie Weis and his Fightin' Irish were certainly the big losers....
