seattle guarantee a win....

Steelers' Porter mad about Seahawks' near-guaranteed win!

PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) -- Steelers linebacker Joey Porter minded his manners and said nothing derogatory about the Seahawks during his first two days at the Super Bowl. That changed Wednesday after Seattle tight end Jerramy Stevens effectively guaranteed a victory.

Porter said Stevens' remarks were all he needed to get him going for the Super Bowl.




"I've been asleep all week but now I got woke up," Porter said Wednesday. "I've got my first taste of blood and now I'm thirsty for more. Until now, it was 'Watch what I say,' `I can't say this,' `I can't say that,' `Don't do anything silly,' but I'm ready now.

Porter was agitated about Stevens' comments Tuesday regarding Steelers star Jerome Bettis' much-publicized return to his hometown of Detroit to try to win a Super Bowl in what likely is his final season.

"It's a heartwarming story and all that, but it will be a sad day when he leaves without that trophy," said Stevens, who said later he wasn't guaranteeing a victory but was only saying what he felt.

"When a guy says something who lines up in front of me on every play, I have to like that," Porter said. "He has to see me. There's no way he can hide from me. We have to meet -- over and over and over. ... I'll remind him every time I put him on his back."

Stevens found Porter's comments amusing.

"I think that will make it more exciting. That fuels the fire," Stevens said. "He's an up-tempo guy and playing that way is why football is fun."

Then, reflecting on what Porter said, he added, "He said I'll be on my back?"

Stevens flashed a smile.

"We'll see."

enough Talk, Cant Wait Till They Get In On

yea, they're in real deep shit! Just watch and learn!

Learn ... lol ... learn what ? That Roethlisberger is very good ? I already know that. That The Steelers shouldn't even be playing Sunday ? I know that too. That stab wound from 3 weeks ago kept them alive.

There is nothing to learn about this game that I could even remotely be interested in.

But it sure seems that this game means a great deal to you and that's a sad reflection on your priorities and maybe your entire life ... unless of course you own the team or you're an employee. Anyway your's is not my problem. We don't know one another. We are strangers.


It's just another game. Let's assume you're in your late 20's . You should have learned this 10 years ago. It could make the difference between whether you will just play golf later on in life OR own the golf course.

I could care less about this crap. The game means nothing to me other than a $1,000 box , winner take all.

BTW ... for someone who is dying to get the hell out of Pittsburgh, you sure are emotional over those meatheads ... enough to get into arguments about this shit. Women and children can argue over silly things. Men should have more important things on their mind.

Anyway , you're a great poster and an MVP in BC ... that's the main thing. Nothing else matters.

Good Luck to you now.

Coverboy just because someone is pumped up about there team being in the superbowl doesnt mean there priorities are messed up IMO. If the dolphins were there i would be VERY excited, but thats just me i guess and i am only 19. Just my opinion.

[CheechB03]

Where's Chachi? Has anyone seen Chachi?

God Bless you for being 19 and I mean it !!!

That's the point

You're 19

You can afford to ally yourself with a team and root like hell ... or a Rock Band or whatever else.

You're a teenager, that's what teenagers do.

But soon you'll decide to really be somebody someday and you wont be so involved with wasting time over things that shouldn't concern you.

Take Care Buddy !

Enjoy the weekend.

You must have dillusions or mental problems. I can't even read more than the 1st 2 sentences of stuff you type. It's mind numbing garbage. Thanks for the "Sales CD" crap, but I'm not looking to own a golf course, play golf, or even buy golf balls, I could care less if I'm poor as shit, or rich as Bill Gates........it's not all about money CB, it's about family and happiness, and as long as you're content with those, then you'll live a happy life. I'm happy for the Steelers, whether they're My steelers, or Rooney's Steelers, I don't give a shit..........it's the team I root for and support..........thats it.


And how could you POSSIBLY say the Steelers shouldn't be playing on Sunday? Did you suddenly FORGET about the Interception they STOLE from Troy? That ended up giving the Colts 8 points? Instead of us having the ball with 5 minutes left? gimme a fuckin break on that one!

Neil i like and respect you a great deal, but did i just read that the Steelers shouldnt be playing this Sunday. Come on, you have to be kidding. They outplayed the Colts in in every possible way. I'm not going to even get into the pick that wasnt a pick. No offense intended here, i just dont feel your correct on this one. I know you and RJ have issues and maybe thats where your passion is speaking, but the Steelers belong in the Superbowl. Just my 2 cents

[CoverBoy]

Thanks RJ

You've just answered every question.

I don't care if I'm poor as shit ... but I wanna live in San Diego.

Do you have any idea how full of shit you are ?

One of us is not being entirely honest here so we have nothing in common and nothing more to say.

But Good Luck to you anyway.

[CoverBoy]

Jc

Your opinions mean a helluva lot more than 2 cents. I always like reading anything you post.

Just ruffling some feathers and havin some fun.

But not for nothing , you must admit ... if it weren't for the stab wound Harper would have scored the winning TD ... regardless of who outplayed who. Doesn't matter much , Pitt is in and that's all that matters.

Anyways have a great weekend and enjoy the game !!!

Because of the WEATHER ass pirate!

[CoverBoy]

LOL@ASSPIRATE

Oh no ... you're a Pirate fan too ?


and you say I have too much time.

You're Ok RJ ... a little too excitable sometimes ( so am I ) but All in All ... You're Aces, Pal


Please read this ... its the last panel from Hip 2 weeks ago.

( I know it's "mind numbing garbage" but try to plow through it just the same )






And Lastly ....


Why I'm such a CREEP sometimes


Once in a while I go a little too over the top and I’m sure it bothers people who are fans of the athletes I poke fun at.


Truth is , if this were a non betting site I would never have started “ Hip “ in the first place.


But it is and by now you know the message … that it’s very difficult to be a successful wagerer and an idolizer at the same time … I can only think of 3-4 good handicappers in BC ( there may be a few more ) who are also die hard fans of certain players and teams , and frankly I just don’t know how they pull it off.


But they sure do seem to, and I think it’s really cool that they live in the best of both worlds … good capping with the riches it brings , and also having the luxury being involved with their favorite team and players.


But these fine cappers are the exception , not the rule , I assure you … because handicapping and emotion mix like oil and water and our “psyche“ can either make us or break us at doing what we do. And when it becomes compromised with “ feelings “ , doom looms large for most of us.


I can never have both. I’m not that slick . If I had ever tried to mix business with pleasure, then instead of being able to do it for all these years , I surely would have lost my ass and dropped out after 1 , never looking back . And I also would have missed out on all the drama and the excitement, not to mention a few extra Fazools.


A few of you guys play my stuff sometimes and that makes me responsible. I take this challenge very seriously. You may find it hard to believe but during a game I’m thinking more of you than I am my own agenda. I’m certain Frank and Karl will back me up on that. I guess it’s just my protective nature.


I owe you the best that I can bring.


And that means that I have to live 2 lives … one with a heart bigger than life itself filled to the brim with love for family and friends … and the other , that of a cold blooded bastard without any feelings or heart at all. I need to be a creep to be a half way decent capper.


There’s just no wiggle room for allowing any athlete or team to work their way into my heart. Sorry , but that dance card is filled.


So I build gigantic fences and refer to them as strangers.


I have to … it works for me, and we have made some money together.



If you’re young and it’s in your blood, you’ll need to choose between being a real handicapper or a fan. Unless you’re extremely gifted , don’t attempt to be both.

"A few of you guys play my stuff sometimes and that makes me responsible."


Makes you responsible? Since when did you start playing wagers for anyone on this board? You are responsible for your own actions only.

"I owe you the best that I can bring."

I think you owe me and everyone else NOTHING. I appreciate your hard work, along with others, but it isn't OWED to me.

GL to you...:christmas
