    I find that fans of teams that have not enjoyed recent or much success for that matter over the years are more raucous. In any sport not just the NFL but I'll stick to the NFL here.

    Case in point. Who has rowdier fans? The Browns and Jets or the Patriots and the Cowboys?

    If I'm not mistaken the NFL adopted the "no beer sold after the 3rd quarter" because of Jets fans lighting a fire in the stands during a Monday Night Football shellacking at the hands of the Buffalo Bills.

    Actually, I believe for the Jets games there is no beer sold after halftime.

        New Pitt football coach arrested in Indiana

        Friday, December 31, 2010
        By Sadie Gurman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

        Newly named Pitt football coach Mike Haywood was arrested this afternoon in Indiana after the mother of his 21-month-old child told police he "held her in a choke-hold" and pushed her during a domestic dispute, St. Joseph County, Ind. police said.

        Mr. Haywood was charged with domestic battery and lodged in the St. Joseph County, Ind. jail after the incident, which began unfolding about 2:30 p.m. central time at his home on Hawthorne Meadow Drive in South Bend. Officers were called there for a "domestic violence situation" in which the woman said Mr. Haywood had choked and assaulted her, assistant police Chief William Redman said.

        When officers had separated her from Mr. Haywood, she told them she was "trying to leave the house with the child and he didn't want her to leave," Mr. Redman said. "That's when the verbal turned physical."

        He wouldn't disclose the woman's name but described her as a "girlfriend." He wasn't sure if she had been living in the home with Mr. Haywood.

        "What their relationship is is kind of unclear right now," he said.

        She told officers Mr. Haywood held her in a choke-hold and pushed her. Officers said they could see red marks on her neck, arms and back.

        "That's the physical evidence to what she claimed," Mr. Redman said.

        Mr. Haywood was arrested at 3:10 p.m. and taken to the jail, where he will be held until he is arraigned. Under Indiana law, people facing domestic violence charges can't be released from jail until their arraignment, Mr. Redman said. His was scheduled for Monday at 1:30 p.m. due to the holiday weekend, but it was unknown if a judge would see him sooner.

        Jail officials said Mr. Haywood has been meeting with attorneys, whom they would not name.

                Pitt wanted Dana Holgorson, but he inexplicably turned them down. Now we know why.

                He was laying in wait for the WVU job...since they hired him to be the new offensive coordinator, and will take over the team in 2012, in the most idiotic move. I can't imagine Pitt keeps this bum...if this turns out to be true...

                    My utter speculation...

                    Wannstadt to Pitt A.D., Penn State Def. Coord. Tom Bradley to Pitt coach...

                        So Va...what's the writing on the wall. It's obvious that Bradley now knows he's not going to be the next coach at Penn State...

                        So...who is?

                            Bradley actually called Pitt on three separate occasions before they hired Mike Tyson, but the AD never gave him an interview....

                            So the speculation I'm reading is either Bradley or, wait for it, fucking Rich Rodriguez after he gets canned from UM.....

                                I hate saying it...but Pitt would be the perfect spot for DickRod...

                                I'd never hire him though.

                                That's actually funny. We get the Pitt statement about how they hired Haywood because he matched their high moral standards...so he beats down some girl he knocked up...they can him...

                                and they turn to DickRod...

                                oy...

                                    Man...Pittsburgh is bitch-slapping Cleveland...three picks...28-3...

                                    Starters will be out after half-time, and on their way to a much-needed bye week.

                                    The Steelers will be at 100% come the divisional playoffs, and the last time they were 100%...they were the best team in the league...

                                        The Steelers are either showing off, have become bored with clobbering the crap out of the Browns or both. I mean, come on...Randal El throwing for a touchdown?
