And this is why the Browns can't be the Steelers

There is no conventional football wisdom that says male strippers in the parking lot of games should prevent a team from winning. But I don't think the fact that the Steelers have beaten the Browns 10 straight times and the fact that this gentleman is in the parking lot shoving his show around are completely unrelated.

Now, I've got nothing against male strippers. If it weren't for the Chippendales, bless their hearts, I'd have never been able to afford my first car. And when I think "Mr. October," I still think Dwayne Zackamore, not Reggie Jackson.

But there's something very un-Steelers vs. Browns about this fellow and his orange prune-smugglers and headband. It's almost like he witnessed the creation of Steely McBeam and said to himself, "Hold on there! We might be losing this rivalry in every other way, but they will not out-effeminate us! Honey, get my Speedo!"

    The Browns stink because they spend their games trash talking instead of focusing on the game. They haven't done anything since the 1980s worth mentioning. They need to drop the cocky attitude and do their job.

    The Browns think they have arrived because they beat 10 bad teams last season. However, they lost to 6 good teams. They are not going to sneak up on anyone this year. The tougher the schedule gets, the tougher they need to be. The Browns, like the Lions, just don't get it.

    Mike Tomlin needs to be fired as the Steelers coach. The team is too good to let this fool run the game. Why did they not kick the fieldgoal at the end of the game. Get the points, and recover the onside kick. Give yourself a chance.
    Other examples why I hate Tomlin. The Eagles played a great defensive game, but it is easy when the offense does not adjust to the game. The Eagles blitzed all game long.. Duh, change what you are doing. If they are going to blitz, hit them with short slants, you have Hines Ward and Heath Miller. Throw the short slants, it is yards and you make the Eagles change the defense, then you run or go deep. But NO, Tomlin did not change, he wanted to drop Ben back and pass all day long, and he got sacked, hit, and hurried all day.
    I wanted Tomlin fired last year after the Jacksonville blunder. Everyone in the country knew Jacksonville was going to run the ball, except Tomlin. As a result, the Steelers lost twice to an at best average team. If the other team consistently does something and you get burnt, the coach needs to make adjustments, DURING the game. That is why the coaches get paid, or at least they should be getting paid. Fire Tomlin, get a coach that can make adjustments and not just watch their quarterback get pummeled.
