I've never been trolled by Steelers fans. We've gotten the best of them the past two seasons. They're as irrelevant as we are now.

Their fans are, overall, pretty douchey. You're an NFC guy, so maybe you wouldn't know. But I am sure there are teams you love to see lose and miss the playoffs. That's the way the NFL is supposed to be. You're supposed to be able to hate your rivals.

I think you have me confused with someone else. I'm a Steelers fan. That's why I disagree with you about you labeling all Steeler fans "Douchey" and "Bandwagon fans". I think me and my uncles are pretty cool fans. Then to say the Steelers are irrelevant is not a fact, when the Steelers were a miss FG away from making it to the playoffs. Hey but everybody has their own reasons to hate a team.

Gruden is responding to rumors now that he is in contention for jobs, same answer as always.

Monday Night Football color analyst Jon Gruden reiterated Monday he has no intention of leaving ESPN.

Five NFL head-coaching vacancies have surfaced on "Black Monday," but Gruden wants no part of it. "I don't want to be considered for any of these jobs," said Gruden, who hasn't coached since 2008. "I don't want to be considered for anything. There are plenty of good candidates out there. I'm just sick for the guys who can no longer coach their teams. ... I'm hoping to do the best I can to hang on to my job." Gruden, 50, spent 11 years in the NFL as a head coach, compiling a 95-81 record with one Super Bowl ring.

Someone FINALLY Hires Tim Tebow!

Former NFL QB Tim Tebow has accepted a job with ESPN for its SEC Network.

The SEC Network launches in August. Tebow hasn't given up his NFL quarterbacking dream, but teams around the league have. "I am so excited that ESPN has given me this incredible opportunity," Tebow tweeted Monday. "When I was six years old I fell in love with the game of football, and while I continue to pursue my dream of playing quarterback in the NFL, this is an amazing opportunity to be a part of the unparalleled passion of college football and the SEC."

Well that explains why you were adament about saying they don't deserve it. I'm sure if it was the Ravens, you'd like it.

I hate the Ravens more than you guys. And yes, I'm sorry, but your fans are terrible as a whole. I have a few friends who are Steelers fans and they're cool, but I've witnessed a lot of garbage from your fans, and I hate Ruthlessraper.

Titans fans are the worst fans in the NFL, so it's not like I'm saying you have bad fans. They care about winning more than ours do. I wish we had fans that cared. Munchak wouldn't be here if we had good fans. But I've witnessed it first hand in Heinz Field getting spit on and beer spilled on me, profanities yelled my way, and threats thrown at my family and me. So yes, a few fans can ruin it for me. Just like I consider Bama fans to be the worst in all of college football. They have no lives, so if they lose they might as well die. They send death threats to their players and threaten their mothers.

A few psycho fans can ruin it. It happens. Don't take it personally. You can trash our fans and organization all you want, and I will agree with you. I wish we could trade organizations if it meant we could win it all.

... if only you guys had beaten us week 1.

Yeah, I agree 100% with everything you said especially about Bama fans. You probably forgot but I told you before the season started you guys were going to beat us. We didn't deserve to make the playoffs.

Rams pick 2nd and 13th. That should certainly help. Perhaps they go QB

I hope they use our pick on the injury ridden Jadeveon Clowney

[fatediesel]

If the Rams keep the pick they should take Texas A&M offensive tackle Jake Matthews. Their line was terrible this year and Jake Long has a torn ACL and Rodger Saffold is a free agent. Their best course of action would be to trade down to a team that wants a QB. This year's first round is loaded with offensive tackles so they could move down 5-10 spots and still get a very good tackle.

Lovie smith looks like hes getting the bucs job & next year the bucs are at the bears.

I picked us to beat you guys because we improved a lot and you guys got worse, but I still had a hard time believing it would happen.

Hard to believe we started 3-1 and you guys started 0-4 still finishing ahead of us.

This is now the second time our loser coach has started 3-1 and missed the playoffs. We always blow 2-3 games badly.

We will meet again in 2014... Again in Pittsburgh. That makes six seasons in a row we will have faced you guys. We used to be rivals in the AFC Central, so I love that.

The titans dont play the steelers in pit next year.

[3DinAK]

Can't wait for Saturday. I think we have a good shot at making a run. That is the Chiefs I'm talking about.

[Tony208]

Chiefs are my afc sleeper pick

My mistake... I'm usually on top of our schedule and the rotation, but yes it will be their turn to come to TN since we went there in 2011 when we played that division.

Hope you guys kill Andrew Suck and the Colts. Guy is so overrated and benefits from getting free W's from this garbage division.

He's 4-0 against us and each W was by one score. We gave them all away for free and the refs helped them in two of those games.

If anything should give the Chiefs some type of motivation this coming Wild Card weekend, it was watching their 2nd/3rd String players give San Diego a run for their playoff lives. All Sunday morning I was actually pulling for Pittsburgh to pull through that AFC playoff mess with having Baltimore, Miami, and San Diego losing, but now, just like Mike T. said, they had plenty of opportunities throughout the year to make their case, and one "No Call" on a field they were not even on should not have dictated their fate.

My favorite games this weekend are, in order...

San Francisco @ Green Bay
Kansas City @ Indianapolis
New Orleans @ Philadelphia
and
San Diego @ Cincinnati

I think Denver really needs to watch out this playoff season, Indianapolis, New England, and San Diego have all been winners against them during the regular season. But I do remember that NFL cliché that if you lost to someone during the regular season, there's a very good chance that you could turn out the winner during your playoff rematch, you never know.

It looks like every playoff team will produce some solid football play this playoff season, after how most of those teams played at the end of this regular season. This playoff season may look to be one of those "incredible" playoff runs for a couple of teams, that we haven't seen for some time. Maybe two surprise eliminations for a couple of high ranked teams. Maybe something similar to that of the 2008 NFL Season when we saw... the AFC's #2 Pittsburgh Steelers vs the NFC's #4 Arizona Cardinals

maybe just a little overrated but the sports media love to ride him like he's some savior that rescued a franchise from a decade of futility
