If you ever wondered how weird I actually sound, give this a listen.

Charter Steel Baller Tuskegee_Brown makes an intriguing request – that we have a poll to determine the most unlikable Steelers of the past 40 years. In order to make that poll we need to produce a list of names. I’m soliciting everyone’s input because this is harder than it might appear at first blush. For one thing, there aren’t that many truly unlikable Steelers, but many names to sift through to find them. For another, we may dislike the players for different reasons: lack of talent, bad attitude, lack of discipline, low IQ, etc.
So, I’m throwing this open to the masses. Please contribute your least favorite Steelers of the Super Bowl era including your reasons if you wish, and once we have a good list we’ll put up a poll. I’ll get the party started:
Cliff Stoudt – like having Landry Jones as a starter
Neil O’Donnell – you know why
Mike Vick – torturer of dogs – though rehabilitated it’s hard to get over that
Anthony Smith – all hat, no cattle
Cam Thomas – whiffffffffff
Chris Rainey – woman beater, without even compensating talent
Jacoby Jones – did everything possible to hurt the Steelers, regardless of which team he played on
LaGarette Blount – nearly wrecked LBell, then left his teammates and slithered to the enemy
[Edit] The poll is now closed and we have a clear loser… LeGarette Blount. Here is the final tally, including a five way tie for third.


Any votes for the new helmet?
The lure of the Steel Balls Trophy beckons you!
It’s that time of year where Steel Ballers put their reputations on the line to make their season predictions. Let me remind you of the rules of engagement:
Rules:
- Lowest score wins.
- Points are based on accuracy. An exact prediction yields zero points.
- Categories include:
- Final regular season record for each AFCN team.
- Divisional positioning of AFCN teams.
- Number of Steelers playoff wins.
- Tie breaker: accuracy of game-by-game predictions
If you are too lazy to provide predictions in any of the above categories, you will get maximum points for that category.
Predictions will be accepted until Midnight ET September 9. You may change your predictions up until that time without penalty.
Good luck!
I try to get the rookies, just missed JuJu
