I can't hate anyone that put on the black and gold, especially, since, I've only met a handful of Steelers and only for a brief moment. I can't hate a guy for not playing football good enough for the Steelers to win a Superbowl.

There are many Steelers that have been disappointing as players however:

Bam Morris - Good back, couldn't keep his head focused on football

Kordell Stewart - Not because he made mistakes as a quarterback, but, because, he was too stubborn to see that he could have been a good WR.

Alonzo Jackson - What happened here? So much promise

Huey Richardson - See above

Steve Courson - Could have been HOF caliber he was an animal

Eric Green - Started out great and then fizzled

I'm sure there are more, but, I'm too old to remember.

Here's my top 10 listed alphabetically:
Kris Brown - Blocked kick which was returned for a TD in 2001 AFCC game then bolted in free agency.
Troy Edwards - Sucked monkey balls and ran his pie-hole.
Alan Faneca - Disrespected the team, whined, and left. Tainted everything he accomplished here.
Delton Hall - Was a loud-mouth piece of crap.
Mark Malone - I think one year he threw more TD's to the opposition than his own team. Very arrogant and the most over-hyped (collegiately) player in our team's history.
Tim McKyer - Loud-mouth free agent bust who had a big hand in the 1994 AFCC game loss.
Bam Morris - Knuckle-head who embarrassed the team.
Neil O'Donnell - Played a huge role in the SB XXX loss, then bolted for the green.
Huey Richardson - Maybe the worst number one choice ever and made me apprehensive to ever choose another Gator with the top pick.
Jamain Stephens - Maybe the second-worst top pick.
Mike Tomczak - A douche-bag who I almost got in a brawl with.

i totally agree with you SMG, he-who-shall-not-be-named is my most hated...watching him throw those INT's still make me nauseous.

Isn't there still a big controversy about at least one of those INT's being the fault of the WR?

Yes. Most people who understand football realize the WR didn't break off his route.

I'm with Pappy in saying that wearing the Black and Gold gives a player a mostly free pass for the rest of his career. But being eternally disappointed in some is a given. Here's my list:

Jamain Stevens, Choad Scott and Troy Edwards: Collectively, the first round picks in 1996, 1997 and 1999. A true banner to hike up the flagpole of those drafts. To add insult to injury the second players taken in those drafts were Steve Conley, Will Blackwell and Scott Shields. It's a wonder the Steelers remained in contention many years after those drafts. JPeezy being selected 3rd in '99 suggests evidence of a Divine Being.

Mark Malone and Bubby Brewster: These guys were the wet dreams of guys like Kurt Warner while he was playing in the Arena Pinball Football League. No wonder he made it...he beat out chucks like these f--ks.

Huey Richardson: the #15 overall player in the 1991 draft...but he's #2 at the bottom of the toilet bowl.

Any d*ck who wore the Crap Color and Orange before the Black and Gold, with the exception of Tomczak (for an insurance policy, the Steelers could have done worse). Quincy Morgan was the most recent goof from this category. And, perhaps, the Steelers take a flier on Bentley. But most teams will be apprehensive after a two year, injury forced sabbatical.

I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting, but that's the list for now.

Regarding Bentley, he never put on that jersey in an actual game. He signed a big contract, then was injured in his first practice with the team. It is like his body felt the bad karma of even having their practice jersey on, and it instinctively failed him so he would never have to don those colors ever again. When he became healthy enough to rejoin the team, he asked for his outright release. Smart fella.

that was only one int though. the other one was all nod's fault. even though holiday didnt break off his route on the other int its hard for me to blame him a whole lot. the guy hardly played at all and he was a rookie, why was he in the game in the first place?

I used to cover the NFL and particularly the Bucs for sports radio. It was the game where Kordell broke down on the sidelines in Tampa and afterwards I was interviewing Tomczak in the locker room and asking some tough questions about Ray Sherman's offense. Obviously he was sick of hearing about how it didn't suit the players we had and he started digging into me and the media in general like a real asshole. Since I'm not the kind of guy to take abuse from anyone, I fired right back and it got pretty heated to the point where we had to be separated by a Steelers staff member. I never really liked the guy to begin with, but that sealed the deal.

On a side note, I think it deserves mention that I don't necessarily "hate" any of these players as others have alluded...it's more like disappointment or distaste. You've got to be a real slimeball to get any genuine hate from me and no one to ever wear the Black-n-Gold has done anything to merit that.
