Tale of two cities

[MrEd]

Natty Boh was always a lousy beer and is probably worse now that is a generic contract beer. It amazes me that you can see all of this Boh stuff around town. If it was any good they wouldn't have went out of business. Back in the 1960's it cost a third more than Budweiser and anyone who could afford it would pick the Bud. Also National advertised more than Budweiser did. Iron City is also a nasty concoction.

A "Ward type of guy" is one thing. Ward himself is another. He is a cheap shot artist of the worst kind and when there are more than just a few NFL players that are gunning for him you know it must be true.
Now as for Rolling Rock...... I do miss that beer! Can't get it here in Texas. Maybe we should bet a case of RR against a Texas brisket?

I would but Rolling Rock is no longer brewed as we know it, the Latrobe Brewing Company is closed after A/B bought the 'brand' name Rolling Rock. Budweiser now brews "Rolling Rock" but it is not the Rolling Rock we are familiar with and grew up with. Otherwise, that would be a fun bet!

"The Raven" better than Iron City? Impossible... although I haven't tasted IC in ages. Who can ever forget the great Rege Cordic on KDKA (he had a 70% audience share!)? At Xmastime, he drank "Old Frothingslosh," the beer with the foam on the bottom of the bottle. Those were the wonderfully innocent days -- except when Pitt played Penn State or West Virginia. Having TWO intense "enemies" is fun, but scary! Just ask Ditka, Dorsett & Marino!

Beers like Rolling Rock, Natty Boh and Iron City got me through college, they paid their dues...although I am not really a fan of Iron City...taste too much like the Mon River. Natty Boh was the official sponser of my freshman year :) and Rolling Rock was my 'go to' because it was really cheap at one time (the original Rolling Rock).

Here is the deal Boys and Girls....
Nobody, let me repeat, there is not team that has anything left for the
RAVENS!!!!!We have played hurt and short handed all year and it comes down to this? The Steelers are going to try and stop the RAVENS, when in fact the RAVENS can smell the blood Boy! They can see where they have to get to! The RAVENS are in the final turn of a 16 week race!And now the Doomsdayers are sayin' the RAVENS don't have enough to finish? Please, in my humble opinion, This team is hungrier Than any RAVENS team in the past! They are going to do what ever they have to, to WIN!!! Any cost, Anything, Anybody, Please those of you who are faint of heart or who have conditions that may lead to haveing to be hospitalized, because of the carnage left on the field by the RAVENS ,please shield your eyes!
"CAUSE IT IS ABOUT TO GET UGLY"!!!
!!!!!!!!!!GO RAVENS!!!!!!!!!!

Of course the Steelers have been healthy all year right ? Ben didnt get a seperated shoulder ? Mcfadden didnt break his arm right ? Injuries are excuses . EVERYONE has to deal with them throughout a season . Thats why quality depth is crucial .... That being said it will be a good game sorry but the Ravens go down today .

For you beer lovers out there, the article should have mentioned that there is a micro brewery beer in Baltimore called "The Raven." It's far superior to either National Boh or Iron City. If you can find it it's well worth the purchase.
Prediction: Ravens will win by at least 10 today.

And if the artical was correct they could have mentioned Yuengling .

Steeler Country: The reason there is a Steeler Nation is because there are no jobs in Pittsburgh so everyone has left and no one wants to live there anymore unless they have to. As to why there is no purple in Ketchup Field, is because the Fans are rude, show no sportsmanship, and will physically go after you. We travel to cities that love to have fans come and enjoy the game. You can come to M&T Bank and have fun........too bad Pittsburgh Fans can't return the courtesy.

PAPA are you smoking crack ? I was at the Dallas game last week . There was some Cowboy fans there and we both talk shit to each other and bought beers too . It was fun with no violence . I have been to bmore 3 times in my life to see the Steelers and 2 out of 3 times we was jumped . Both games we lost as well . Needless to say you my friend are blind and full of shytttttttt

Say what you want low-life...but I don't see ANY purple at the Ratbirds games in Pittsburgh.
Why in the hell would we want to go there? Pittsburgh is as classless as Ward!
The statement we make today is our statement for many years to come. We have a QB, runningbacks, receivers, a defense that can stand up to anyone and a coach whom the players want to play with. Let's go Joe Cool and the Ravens.
All I want for Christmans is Wards two front teeth shoved down his throat. If anyone sees a terrible crying towel or two today, I say take it right to the restrooms. You'll know what to do with it once you are there.

2 things in Texas . Steers and Queers ....

Reed is a safety not a corner . Reed doesnt play the run like Troy does . But FS and SS are 2 different positions and it goes to the difference in numbers . I love ED Reed he is the best player on the Ravens behind Suggs .

This is obviously a biased view of two franchises by a Baltimore newspaper. But when you give the advantage to a team who has Ray Lewis as the face of your franchise, then that is "saying it all." Ray Lewis would never be accepted on the Steelers no matter how good he is. Hines Ward is a class act and apologized for ending the Bengals LBs season. On the other hand, Ray Lewis celebrated putting out Mendenhall. The Steelers are a class organization, and Baltimore.....they have Ray Lewis as their face. Enough said.

Yea, at least Ray will hit you face to face, like a man. That cheap shot ba$t... Hines Has no balls. Only hits when you are turned away like the punk he is. Yea, really want his face for my team, NOT!!! LIke another poster said, hope Ward breaks a leg out is put out of the game. Just don't want Suggs doing it. Then Roger will throw a hissy fit and suspend him. I respect any player that plays hard and clean. Hines is a jerk. Absolutely no class what so ever.

Come on. A good QB knows if he throwing against a safety on top of a CB or not. I give Rothlisberger credit, he knows it. A good offense pulls the Safety off the area they want to throw to. reed.."reads" that. That is what makes him so good.

I grew up in Baltimore (Bowleys Qtrs.) but spend the mid-90's in Pittsburgh. Hands down, the people of Pittsburgh are much friendlier, more passionate about sports, and know how to have a good time without impeding anyone else's good time. And, the Steelers don't have a murderer on the roster (Hi Ray-Ray!).

You are either an idiot or a liar!! Squeeler fans are the worst in the league when it comes to other fans attending games in the ketchup bottle! They throw things at you, or atack you verbaly or physically. No class at all!! Friendly, you have got to be kidding!

[lance917]

Just got official word that mark is at the ravens game with all his family. Peter angelos flew them all in and his signing will be announced at halftime.

Sorry to hear that happened at my stadium...I certainly wouldn't do that. I had my car keyed once at Foxboro with a derogatory remark scripted on the door... I also got hit in the back at Redskins stadium this year during the MNF game with full water bottle. Unfortunately for that partivular Redskin fan, I was told that he lost his ticket privedges becuase he threw something else, it missed my group of Steller fans and hit some 12 year old girl...she was okay..but traumatized I am sure.

Ray Lewis. got away with murder. just like OJ. YEP he's the face of buttimore. Crime capital of the Nation. You people will learn today the better team is and always will be the steelers. yes sometimes the sunshines on a dogs azz like it did for u in 2000, But please we have and always will own this divsion. face it. suck it up, and do what u do best in buttimore, go kill someone > release that angry lossing feeling somehow.

I hope Hines Ward breaks his leg this week and retires from football. Go Balmer Ravons hon!

Sorry,I broke an arm playing baseball at the end of the summer and it was no fun trying to work with a cast.It's too classless to wish broken body parts as revenge on any NFL player(Joey Porter included)but Hines might fall on a sideline marker by accident...??I'd prefer mr. Ward leave the field,let's say...a little woozy once in awhile today.How about that?I know it's football but c'mon with some better satisfaction than breaking his leg.

[Biff 33]

Not that it really matters, I just checked a can of Natty Boh...its says "Brewed by G. Heilman Brewing Co., PO BOX 739, Milwaukoo, WI 53201"

"FROM THAN LAND OF PLEASANT LIVING"

Not sure where the writer (Hensley) got "NC."

[Biff 33]

Check that..."Milwaukee"
