It's easy to love a winner. It's harder and more trying to love a loser. I've been a Bengal fan my whole life and as pathetic as they've been, I am still a huge fan. It's tougher to be a Bengal fan than a Steeler fan so I would even say Bengal fans are better than Steeler fans. Same goes with Lion fans.

Lions fan here since 88, been ruff.

I do notice alot of bandwagon fans, I love how the same steeler fans like Miami, Duke, UF, Yankees, Red Sox, Lakers, Celtics etc etc. Take your pick.

Makes me laugh.

Not a huge fan of Big Ben but a civil suit filed 364 days after the allegations? Really?!

Cha ching.

I like the lions. I was a redskins fan as a kid, but once the cooke family sold the team, I quit the team. I think the lions will be much improved, and I still hate the steelers.

RENO, Nev. - A woman has filed a lawsuit accusing Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of raping her last summer in his penthouse room at a casino in Lake Tahoe during a celebrity golf tournament.

Roethlisberger’s lawyer adamantly denied the allegations Tuesday.
I hope Roethy enjoyed releasing the hot jets of spray into Andrea, because the price will be very high, the end of his career and probably some jail time.

Not me, dislike everyone of the teams you listed. But I don't think you'd consider me a bandwagon fan since I've followed them since around '58. I remember Bobby Layne, John Baker and a bunch of others from the old days. Would attend a lot of games even though back then they weren't very good. As a matter of fact, they were pretty bad at times.

Oddly enough.... I pull for the Bengals and Browns when we aren't playing them. Also like the Titans (Oilers). Can't pull for the Ravens though....

Cool, I just see alot less Patriot fans nowadays and alot more Steeler fans.

If I lived in San Jose for any period of time I know what team I'd root for Hint, not the Raidahs.

I'm native California and can't stand any of their FB teams though.

Have you ever heard of the American justice system, where you are innocent before proven guilty? This entire case has "money grab" written all over it.

Maybe you should get some jail time for slander, its called innocent before proven guilty. This case is beyond sketchy for countless reasons, but its good to see that your hatred for the Steelers completely determines your response.

Since I've moved here to San Jose, I like the Raiders less than I did when I lived back in Pittsburgh.

I used to really enjoy watching the Browns v Steelers in the 60s play their Saturday night games. They ended sometime in the 70s... a shame. They were a lot of fun. Jim Brown was amazing...

Oh well, that was a long time ago. Here's hoping for a great season!

Anyone have a prediction as to who might be the surprise team this year ala Arizona last year?

Some bad info here - there will not be any jailtime because this is a civil suit. No criminal charges were filed so the only potential consequense is money.

Also, there is no proving guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt because this is a civil case. She just needs to make a reasonable case and she could win.

Looks like a money grab to me, but Ben still needs to take this very seriously.
