The Bengals' Domata Peko 'bleeps' out his own insult of the Steelers
The Bengals and Steelers do not like each other, and Cincy's defensive tackle reinforces that much
You know how announcers always say things like, "There is no love lost between these two teams" when they play each other in the playoffs? It's a bit of a cliche, sure. But there is really no love lost between the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers. Those dudes do not like each other. Like, at all.
That'll tend to happen when a guy on one of the teams literally -- yes, literally -- tries to remove the head of a guy on the other team.

Or when an assistant coach (and former player) from one team heads onto the field and antagonizes the other side.
Is anyone going to address #joeyporter being on the field bumping players and antagonizing players? #PITvsCINpic.twitter.com/1vCJ5Xm6Wv

Or when another assistant coach yanks on the dreadlocks of a player from the other team.

All that drama led to huge fines for the players and coaches involved, and well ... it motivated Bengals defensive tackle Domata Peko to have some unkind words about the Steelers. While in London for an event promoting the NFL's international series, Peko was given a prompt of "the Pittsburgh Steelers are ..." and asked to complete the sentence.
What'd he say? "... pieces of bleep," per USA Today. Not "pieces of (bleep)" or "pieces of ****." He actually said "pieces of bleep."
Awful nice of him to help out the FCC bleepers that make sure nobody swears on TV, but it seems likely that his actual feelings are probably a bit stronger. Let's just say we can't wait for Week 2, when these two teams play each other for the first time.
