As a Steelers fan, I’d be interested to know how many were Brown, Bell, and Legarrete Blount.

Blount came in, which was unpopular with quite a few people, seemed to get everyone publicly to smoke weed, become super self-centered and arrogant, and generally be dicks, then was released.

So take away that one “bad influence,” even if it was just to bring everything out into the open, and I’d like to see where we’re at… Then take away Roethisberger. Basically, see if it was a few shitty people or an “institutional” problem.

Bell got arrested a few times? I must’ve forgotten. I don’t think it’s an institutional problem for the team. It’s the sport. Too many guys are on roids or have uncontrolled impulses due to CTE so this problem would still exist with the best run teams.

How the hell are the Raiders not #1?

Despite the team identity, they’re reletively more well behaved than even teams in division. Being hard is now more sarcastic than it is real.

Give the Vikings some slack. If you won that many games but always got blown out when it counts, you’d do crimes too. They’re basically the NFL’s worst case of blue balls.

As a Minnesota sports fan in general, that’s basically all of MN sports. We win most of the games that “matter” the least, then choke massively in the national spotlight so everyone outside MN thinks we’re absolute garbage and always have been, where anyone who actually pays attention to us knows we’re a good deal better than that and there’s a reason we’re in the spotlight in the first place. The Twins in MLB, for example, have a “historic” 18-game losing streak in the playoffs (mostly against the Yankees), but we do find a way into the playoffs more often than not. Not every MN team playoff year is some “lucky fluke”, we’re not always “frauds”. We’ve been blue-balled in football, baseball and hockey for far too long.

The one exception is the Timberwolves, they just suck and always have, except for that one season in 2003.

Die hard Vikings and Twins fan. To be a fan of these teams is to make peace with disappointment. Or you’re just a glutton for punishment.
