    Your 2019 Pittsburgh Steelers...

    Congrats guys, if anyone can make it work with AB, it's BB and TB (!!) We're expecting nothing less than a perfect season...

    Raiders Release Clown Brown

    . Sure but did anyone tell AB that? Cell coverage is dodgy over NW Nevada, where he is currently floating. There are 50 messages from Drew R. waiting for him when he touches down in Gillette

    Your 2019 Pittsburgh Steelers...

    Happy Antonio Brown Week! FWIW, my delight in watching the AB circus finally implode is somewhat tempered by the fact that I've resigned myself to AB winning the next 3 Super Bowls with the Pats. I took last year off from this space (one calendar year technically, but for the record all...

    Raiders Release Clown Brown

    I'd say he could suit up for you guys by tomorrow night....But hot air balloons go like, 15mph tops. Alas.

    Josh Gordon Stepping Away?

    Sad to see. I always root for guys like this to get their issues sorted out. Gordon and Martavis lost for good from the NFL within a few weeks. Who knows what they might have accomplished with their God-given abilities, if they just had their heads on straight. Top-10 physical talents at...

    Le'veon Bell did not report to the Steelers, done for the year

    IMO this goes a bit too far. Bell is an *outstanding* receiver at the RB position; he can split out and effectively run a full WR route tree. In the right offense with the right playcaller, this attribute can be a devastating weapon that can force mismatches all over the field, without...

    Le'veon Bell did not report to the Steelers, done for the year

    FWIW. I personally think Bell will place some value on going to a winning organization, if the offers are in the same ballpark. Philly seems like a pretty logical next step. I can hardly imagine the NYJ scenario, unless he *really* values the media market aspect of things. Odds on Le’Veon...

    Le'veon Bell did not report to the Steelers, done for the year

    I hope those are cheap jerseys....I mean, there's a Steelers HOFer who wore #26, why not just use a restitching service and replace "Bell" with "Woodson"...donezo. I look at it like this: Let's say that you have a super high-risk job that could literally end anytime due to injury. You have...

    Le'veon Bell did not report to the Steelers, done for the year

    My $.02 as a Steelers fan: 1. Bell will get paid a large contract with roughly the amount of guaranteed money he is looking for, for the reasons jmt stated. Plus, it just takes one team to pay out... 2. Bell has every right to choose to not play, and there are legitimate arguments to support...

    Is it even possible for this team to get HFA any longer?

    It's always weirdly reassuring to go onto another fans' message board, and realize that yes, other fan bases also can go off the deep end after a loss. ;) There's just a lot of recency bias going on right now (understandable I suppose on a Monday after a loss). I'm not sold on the idea that...

    Steelers to rest Roethlisberger and Bell against Cleveland

    ESPN Playoff Scenario Tracker: 1. Steelers rest starters; Pitt loses, Jets upset Pats Pats Fans: Haha Tomlin is such an idiot! (anyone with half a brain knew Jets could upset Pats!) Steelers Fans: Fire Tomlin! (anyone with half a brain knew Jets would upset Pats!) 2. Steelers play starters...

    James Harrison officially signs with Pats

    LOL no worries. I watched the Kinkhabwala take and agree that the talk of 'double-dipping' was way out of line unless she has some actual evidence to show for it btw. Just because it's something JH *could* take advantage of doesn't mean it was even a remote consideration when it came to his...

    James Harrison officially signs with Pats

    Whoa Wheelman! It's the holidays man. Your team is 12-3 and likely to win its 6th Super Bowl in 17 years in a few weeks. Life is good! Most national reporters aren't very good; the local beat writers are far better. Aditi Kinkhabwala is no exception here. Re/ being a 'shill' for the...

    James Harrison officially signs with Pats

    Funny how this story (and this thread!) has evolved over the past few days... Here are my final thoughts on the JH saga, starting with the actual *football* stuff: I personally think JH still has some pop left in his pass rush. As many have noted here, his (lack of) height can help against...

    James Harrison officially signs with Pats

    Yup happy holidays to you as well! Asked santa for no injuries the rest of the way in the NFL ... hopefully he delivers!!

    James Harrison officially signs with Pats

    And of course the pats more than any other team will find themselves in situations where they can sell out to rush the passer since they're up big late so often. No negatives to signing him imo. If nothing else again you basically can get the play book from him; he's a smart football player...

    James Harrison officially signs with Pats

    Pitt asks their olbs to drop a lot more these days and that's the one major weakness in Harrison's game. He still has incredible strength and some short are quickness, but ask him to run more than 10 yards and he starts to look like a 39 year old. That same characteristic also makes him an...

    James Harrison officially signs with Pats

    Watt developed more quickly than expected and is vastly better at dropping into coverage than JH. Harrison's been inactive most games as a result. Harrison probably still has value as a spot pass rusher imo. And he can still set the edge as a run defender. Just don't play him too many...

    Congrats...

    Haha ‘sorry not sorry’ to disappoint ;) I’ll continue to maintain that the lion’s share of fans - from any team - are normal, sane, reasonable people. You just don’t see or hear from them, because not everyone has the time or inclination to post Tolstoy-length game analysis on opposing team...
