Baltimore Jackassery

I sympathize with the central PA fans who have to watch the Ravens on TV. Fuller story here. Anyone who says it's "just three games" doesn't know what he's talking about. Three games of football is like thirty games of baseball. Some of us would rather watch any given football game than go to a friend's wedding. I'm not one of them, but I know some Steeler fans feel that way. Three games is a lot of football to miss.

Unless you like to get angry, or enjoy being taunted, make sure you don't read Dan Connolly's sarcastic and unprofessional column for the Daily Record/Sunday News.

When a reporter cherry-picks his email to publish reader thoughts, with the intention of mocking and embarrassing his readers, that's not much different than a baseball player who throws a chair at the fans.

Grow up, Dan Connolly. Those Steeler fans have a legitimate gripe. Just because they don't write as elegantly as you, that doesn't make them inferior to you. And it doesn't justify your attempt to belittle them in your column. The only person who looks bad in that column is Dan Connolly. Get a grip man, and exercise some self-control before you go into the stands to prove you're a bigger man.
