SURVEY: Who Will Win The AFC Championship Game?
In his Jan. 15 article on the newspaper's website, Cowherd mentions of the “great view” of Pittsburgh from atop Mt. Washington as a mere afterthought.Instead he questions why anyone would want to pay to ride on the Duquesne Incline with its cable cars “creaking ominously” and “wind whistling” around outside, only to arrive atop Mt. Washington where “you can hit all those overpriced restaurants.”In previous articles of his "Reasons To Hate Pittsburgh" series, Cowherd has targetted how Pittsburghers speak as well as the Primanti Bros. sandwich.He called Pittsburghese a "tortured dialect" and said you need a "jackhammer" for your arteries after eating at Primanti's."They (Baltimore) have those little crab cakes," said Toni Aggerty, who manages Primanti Brothers in the Strip District. "Anybody can make them. Nobody can copy us. He's just jealous."The Baltimore Examiner is calling the game a "super opportunity" for the Ravens, and fans on Baltimore's message boards continue to take shots at the Steelers and the city of Pittsburgh.One fan on the Baltimore Sun Web site took a cheap shot, saying, "The last time I checked, we aren't talking about selling our teams to Kansas City, and our city is not bankrupt. How did the slots work out for you? Go Ravens."

Another fan wants to buy homefield advantage."There needs to be a great migration of purple to Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is a city that is really struggling and if lot of us make good offers for the tickets, you will probably be able to get them.""All Pittsburgh did was beat an average team," another Ravens fan wrote. "Don't get caught up in the Steelers' hype. We beat the best team in the league. We found a way to win, and that's what good teams do."Want to talk some smack on the Ravens' fans?
