As the dust settled on Part 3 of the Spaghetti Western that has become Steelers-Bengals, a battered-but-not-broken gunslinger should have stood tall early Sunday morning.


But Ben Roethlisberger isn't the gunslinger the NFL needs right now.


Roger Goodell is.


And the NFL commissioner should pay attention to how Roethlisberger and the Steelers exited stage left from Paul Brown Stadium on Saturday night. Fast as they could after an 18-16 victory, everybody on the field with ties to the Steelers ran into the locker room.


No handshakes. No prayer circle.


Only running.


What, they were supposed to stick around and wait for a despondent (and drunken) fan to toss a trash can at them from the upper deck?


Those cans were the only ones not thrown during the fourth quarter, when the Bengals' understandably frustrated faithful made it rain with debris. Plastic cups, cardboard drink holders, hand warmers, ponchos and who knows what else …


Actually, we all know what else was tossed from the stands.


Batteries.............

BUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTT according to the beat writer from Bawlstan only the Steelers are Bush league and the Patriots are the saints that came marching in.

Truthfully though, why bother breaking that up. I would have been perfectly content with these players knocking the shit out of each other.

Exactly. You'll never see the "classy" Patriots or the new darlings of the NFL sink to that level in a million years! :jerkit:
