CLEVELAND, Ohio – The shock probably lies on both sides of the Steelers-Browns result on Sunday night. But depending on which side of the fence you are on, a feeling of surprise was accompanied by joy or anger.
Stephen A. Smith of ESPN was disgusted. Smith accessed Twitter during the Browns’ impressive 48-37 playoff victory over the Steelers.
“I’m sick to my stomach because of these Steelers,” wrote Smith. “What a damned disgrace.”
Smith was not the only member of the ESPN team to opine on the game. Analyst and former Steeler Ryan Clark spent the night interacting with fans on Twitter.
At one point, Clark tweeted, “This has been too ugly to be overkill about a comeback … I’ll finish off work in a second.” But Clark ended up showing some love for the Browns.
“The Browns played very well in [some] difficult circumstances, ”wrote Clark. “They won that victory. The Steelers didn’t give it to them. That was huge. “
And no, Clark didn’t call work.
