I hate the Steelers!

Why does the one team that most of Cincinnati can't stand win the Super Bowl? Ben Roethlisberger scrambled out of 5 or 6 sacs that I can remember from the game earlier. There isn't anything nice that I can say about the Steelers, except the fact that they got rid of Bill Cower. I couldn't stand him on the sidelines. All he did the whole game was complain to the referees and field umpires about penalties that were called on the field. I'm sure every coach complains, but it seemed to me that he over-did it every game. No one wants to constantly see Bill Cower's face on the camera because he's complaining about yet another penalty against the Steelers. I can't stand how the Steelers blew Carson Palmer's chance to take the Bengals to win a Super Bowl in 2006. As almost everyone recalls, he was deliberately taken out by a steeler player. It was almost like someone upstairs in the coaches booth told the teammate to take Carson out and ruin our chances for a Super Bowl appearance. I know that might seem harsh and cruel, but that's how the Steelers are. No one will change my mind about this issue, and it's not because I'm a Bengals fan, it's because players shouldn't intentionally try and hurt someone. That is wrong and unsportsmanlike. Players should not act like this at any time during a game. It gives off a bad reputation and the media has a field day with it. That was all they talked about for weeks after it happened. I'm not a professional athlete, but hypothetically, I would want to be looked at as a role model. I would want positive things that fans can read about. Not negative things that only make you look bad. To me, the Steelers will never be looked at as a team full of role models. They will be looked at as unsportsmanlike, and players that play "dirty" on the field, and their fans will be referred to as rude, and cruel.
