We woke up Tuesday morning feeling pretty good. We dealt with this Chris Cooley situation and moved on to the more important matter of Eklund taking a run at Greg over at PUCK DADDY. But noooo. Washington journalists and fans had to come out of the woodwork, jumping at us because we jobbed Chris Cooley.

The funniest part about it is that all of the e-mails we received, plus the scathing columns written by journalists and bloggers rebutting our Cooley thing, somehow came up with the idea that we insulted that Cooley's blog jobbed Crosby.

It just goes to show that they didn't even read our post.
And they are:

D.J. Tanner Cooley: Chris Cooley's brother who gets paid to run his blog.
Dan Steinberg: Dude from The Washington Post.
Jarrett Carter: Dude who reminds us that Bleacher Report still exists.

Okay, idiots.  What's the first thing we said about this situation?

Anyone read the part where we said this isn't about Crosby?  Thought so.

Unfortunately, Dan Steinberg of THE WASHINGTON POST can't read.

NATE B. photoshop = Check.

The word "jobbed" = Check.

Where did he get the idea that we jobbed Chris Cooley because D.J. Tanner Cooley bashed Crosby? Didn't we say even in the sentences before our reasoning that we don't care? It's pretty stupid when a journalist mines for quotes. And it's even more idiotic when they don't even bother to quote or paraphrase what we say; they just decide to make stuff up. Just poor work.

All in all, we respect Dan Steinberg. He's a big deal. And he looks like.....
We can't bash his baldness because we'll be in that boat in 15 years.

As a side note, in his column, he makes numerous remarks about our apparent affluent homophobia. Did he even bother going to our linkkkkkkkkkkkkkkFAQ to see that we have three writers on this site, one of which IS gay? Come on.

Next up on the ledger is Jarrett Carter from THE BLEACHER REPORT.

We put all of our energy into jobbing Dan Steinberg that we have little left for Jeff Jarrett. But it's pretty easy, so we're safe. And again, it's another case of someone who didn't bother reading what they were going to provide commentary on.

Basically, the premise of Jeff's article is that Pittsburgh fans should be quiet when talking trash with other fans because we don't realize how blessed we are. Right. This is coming from someone who undoubtedly is naked while watching NFL Network till 4:00 in the morning for updates on the NFL Combine. He represents a large faction of fans who don't realize there are other sports out there besides football.

What will probably irk you more than anything else is the condescending tone in which Jeff Jarrett's entire article is written.  He rides in like an idiot thinking he has a handle on the situation.  No, Jeff, you don't.

Case in point:

The topic at hand isn't how the Steelers invaded FedEx Field.  Come on, dude.  This is a rivalry stemmed from the Penguins ending the Caps' seasons year after year in the '90s.  What a stupid way to end an article.  When the common idiot decides to write an article and inevitably tries to tie football in to cap off said article, Jarrett Carter's work is what you get.  Bank.

And finally, the coup de joke.

D.J. Tanner Cooley and our e-mail war with him.
