As a Steelers fan, I cringed when I read that. Totally unnecessary, and frankly just plain immature.
That being said, it's no secret that the majority of Steelers and their fans hate the Pats. So, it shouldn't come as a suprise that most of Steeler Nation was happy the Pats lost last night. Let's face it....if it were the Steelers playing for the Lombardi last night, how many of you would have been rooting for them? How many snarky comments would have been made on these very boards leading up to the game? It's a rivalry, and this kind of thing just comes with the territory. You hate us, we hate you....it is what it is.
HOWEVER, I do agree that as PLAYERS, these guys would be much better off just keeping their mouths shut. They, of all people, should know all TOO well what it feels like to come up short in a Super Bowl. In fact, just last year at this time. Not to mention....Tebow anyone?
Congrats on a great season, and my condolences for the loss last night. I know how it feels, and it stings. Take comfort in the fact that the Pats are a top-notch organization from top to bottom, and that alone will likely keep your team in contention for years to come. It's hard to see in the aftermath of a game like that, but it's not exactly like this was your ONE shot. The Pats will be back next year, and they'll STILL be a force to be reckoned with.
Chin up buttercups.
Cheers.
