What REALLY goes on in the Steelers huddle...

[Polamalu Princess]

These are way too funny!!!

[SMR]

The BEARD!! Ha, that was great! Thanx Merch!

[Galax Steeler]

Good ones.

[Craic]

Okay, I posted this in the "No Means No" thread, but it got buried pretty fast. Moving it over here so more people can see my attempt to raise to Merchant's level (or even close).


(To borrow from another thread--and with the knowledge that I am far below Merchant in my abilities here-- I still believe a true explanation of the chant (No means No) is due).




Alright. We got the ball. First drive. No Ints. No Ints. Come on Browns.





Sure hope this guy doesn't show up.






Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo




Wha...... Huh?? Interception AGAIN!!! We said NO INTS.







Wow, why does our defense look so childlike against them? NO BIG PLAYS NO BIG PLAYS!!!!






Wow- is it going to be this easy against the Browns all day???? This is like playing against a Peewee team!



I dressed like a 16 year old ho for this?!?!?!?




-----a quarter has passed, it is now second quarter.



I can't even show my face. COME ON. NO INTS.



Colt Mccoy: How did he get THAT BALL?
Clark: You threw it right to me you idiot.




Are you TRYING to get me fired? Are you all even men???





Well, if length is any determination....





NOT HERE PEOPLE... PLEASE!





Ok, back on track. NO INTS COLT. YOU HEAR ME!





Oh this isn't good, might as well throw it.




oops.




We said, NO INTS. NO MEANS NO.




NO MEANS NO. NO INTS-- NOT THREE




Come on! There was no place to throw that ball. NO MEANS NO COLT!





Look at me! I am doing an imitation of Colt McCoy right now. lalala I can't hear you.

(CONTINUED)

[Craic]

Dang, Hines, I thought they were just being classless towards me.
Well, Ben, there are a few here that might be....




Don't worry Ben, I'll take care of those Classless ones.




Hey Harrison, you da man!



00:00 GAME OVER



Hey Colt, when the fans yell no, you probably shouldn't throw the pass. No Means No.





So THAT is what they meant. Well, least I got my coach fired.

Browns President Mike Holmgren press conference 1-3-11

(Opening statement)- “Good afternoon everybody. As you know, we are going to make a change with the head coach. I had a chance to meet with Eric (Mangini) this morning. We had a very good but tough conversation. It’s difficult to say the least, but I want to thank him publicly. He and his family for everything they have done as far as the football organization is concerned and also the community. They are wonderful people and I wish them nothing but the best. Our conversation, I think we were very honest with one another. We have established a good relationship and that’s what made it even more difficult. We will begin a search for a new coach immediately. We’ve started the ball rolling a little bit today already. I am not locking myself into any timetable for this. My goal is to find exactly the right person for the job of Head Coach of the Cleveland Browns and who can eventually someday lead us to the championship. That is my only goal.”

[Merchant]

ahaha nice one Preacher.

[SteelerSal]

LMAO!! I love these!

[SMR]

Not bad.

Super Bowl Media Day begins...





Ben, this is your third Super Bowl, but you have never faced more adversity than heading into this one.. Do you think your emotions about what happened in the past will have an influence on your performance?



Well, I’m not gonna lie.. This past night I hit up the strip club and was pretty emotional about the shortage of exotic dancers in Dallas. But I have since been told that more are on the way and the problem should be resolved as the game nears, so I’m pretty excited about that, but don't expect it to have a significant impact on my performance.



Ben, you haven’t really delivered the answer the people want to hear…



Oh, sorry… the strippers will be arriving on Thursday at Dallas Gentlemen’s Club between 7:00 and 10:00PM, at which point there’ll be a $19.99 Beer & Lap Dance special.



Thank you Ben for clearing up the stripper issue – many of us were worried. My only question is, how are you able to change outfits so quickly?



Come on Stan, you know I can’t share that kind of information with you.



Coach Tomlin, can you give us a non-generic answer about the game-plan going into Sunday’s match-up?



At this juncture, the standard is the standard. We are humbled to be representing the AFC North in this Super Bowl, and acknowledge the talents of our opponent. Thus far, it is what it is, the expectation level is very high. We accept that, and plan on going into hostile territory defending every blade of grass and are excited about this opportunity.



Brett, there are reports circulating that there is no chin beneath your beard.. only more beard. What is your response to that?



Brett Keisel no longer exists. There is only… THE BEARD.



James, Aaron Rodgers claims that you threatened to quote-unquote “make him your sweet-ass-bitch this Sunday.” Is this true?



Yeah.. me and Rodgers are gonna have a good time this weekend. Isn’t that right, Aaron?



Yessir, Mr. Harrison, sir.


...Please don't hurt me.



Mr. Reed, you’re not actually with the Steelers anymore. Many of us are a little confused as to why you are here wearing your Pittsburgh jersey?



Thanks for asking, Stan. I’m very excited about the game. The fans have been great, and I look forward to helping my team out in the kicking game.



Jeff, you’re completely wasted right now, aren’t you?



Absolutely, Pam.

[Galax Steeler]

Nice job Merchant

[stillers4me]

[SMR]

[Steelerone67]

[SMR]

idk the lock out seems like its a good topic to make one over.... or just goodell is dbag is good topic too!

LOL. Don't pressure Merch. Give Da Man some time, he deserves it so.

[Merchant]

Ladies and gentlemen… I am pleased to announce that the lockout is over! Football is back!



Wtf… There was a lockout? Why didn’t anyone tell me?



We didn’t really think it was important to tell players who are gonna be cut.



Say what now?



Alrite well where’s Ben? We don’t have a lot of time, we need to work on some passing drills as soon as possible. He better not be up to some whacky shenanigans again…



Ya… About that…



Oh come on!



Hey guys! Good news… I’m healthy and ready to go!




Sweed you better watch-out for that banana peel!





…Really?



Hey guys, can I play with y’all this year?



Goddamitt.. Who let Chad in again?

[kmsteelerwr15]

[Merchant]

Ben.. Come over here son. I wanna have a talk with ya.



Gimme a minute coach. Walking isn’t the easiest thing these days.



Listen, Ben. I know you’re in pain. I know our O-Line hasn’t been doing the best job of protecting you this season. But I just wanted to let you know that we’ll be making some changes to improve our pass protection. I present to you.. our two new starting Tackles.






This should be a drastic improvement over Jonathan Scott.



Coach.. that’s a pylon and a girl scout.



Okay, okay, you’re right. How about this.. We put William Gay at Left Tackle.



Don’t worry, Ben. I got you baby!



I am so screwed..

[XxKnightxX]

Hahahahaaha ^^^^^ Oh man Hilarious.

[Merchant]

Men. We have the Chiefs this week. I know they’re terrible. I know they have Tyler Palko at Quarterback. But this is a Primetime game, against a bad opponent.. Which can only mean one thing. We have to keep it close.

Bruce. Design a game-plan filled with runs up the middle on 1st and 2nd down. Maybe a couple of those outside-runs and bubble-screens that never work. Just to keep things interesting.



Way ahead of ya, Coach. I’ll draw up a nice little Red Zone package with Mewelde Moore just in case we get too close.



Excellent.

Wallace, make sure to drop any TD catches in the endzone in case they come your way. And whatever you do.. DON’T snag a long-bomb. Let it go right through your hands for dramatic effect. We wanna make the audience feel interested.



Got it, Coach. I’ll even grab my head like this to make it seem like I’m really disappointed. Teehee.



Thattaboy.

Troy, if we have you back there all game, Palko’s gonna throw 6 picks and it’ll ruin his self-esteem. He’s a nice guy, good to his mother. I don’t wanna be mean, so I’m gonna have you missile into the knees of one of the 290 pounders on their team.



Sweet. Gives me a chance to photoshop pictures of myself looking sexy and dramatic.



Now don’t worry. I’ve already talked to Dwayne Bowe. If things get a little too close for comfort I’m gonna have him make a pathetic attempt at going for the ball, and hopefully one of our DB’s will come up with the interception.



Remember our deal, Tomlin. You better buy me ice-cream after the game. AND a banana-strawberry smoothie.



Uhh. Ya. Whatever.

[stillers4me]

Good job, Merchant!

[SMR]

We miss you in this thread Merchant. This season can't come soon enough!!

[Merchant]

I'm ready. Just waiting.
