Just that scrub that cost them the AFC championship game last year.

If Grimble can become more consistent, starting with catching the football, maybe he makes a run at the top of the depth chart.
Labriola thinks that Grimble could be the starter.

Honestly that catch grimble had against the Ravens showed me the dude is potentially a warrior

He got absolutely destroyed, still made the catch and got up like he was in ecstacy

Artie Burns was arrested for driving on a suspended license due to $1,000 in unpaid traffic tickets. Aside from the obvious why would an NFL player skip out on paying one thousand dollars, I need to know how people rack up tickets like that. In my town parking tickets are $3. Three. And I've known people throughout the years that have hundred and hundred of dollars worth unpaid.

Burns failed to pay $1,012.20 in traffic tickets and did not show up for a mandatory court date, according to records.

One of the tickets shows Burns was driving 130 mph in a 60 mph speed zone.

The Steelers' 2016 first-round pick signed a contract worth more than $14 million.

This is going to sound Godric-ish, but I seriously f**king hate football players. This is Exhibit A as to why it is so much easier to root for a group of guys like the Penguins than a team full of half-meatheads, half-wannabe thugs, with a sprinkling of stupidity on top. That said, I will still be rooting for the Steelers come September

, but damn is it frustrating.

This is why I quit watching football about 4 or 5 years ago. Too many scumbags.

NFL players are just stupid people. How do you let it get to be a grand in parking tickets. Why are you that dumb? Why are you the way you are? It really does make me dislike the sport as a whole much easier.

DeAngelo looks like he could have a good second career lined up.

I know this is old news, but it's fun to rehash......

Ben Roethlisberger has as many wins at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland as any Browns QB.

Report: Bell turned down deal worth $42M over first 3 years; $12M average

Yikes.

Villanueva may hold out from camp as well: http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/stee ... 1500385367

Pay the man.

Postby **Troy Loney** » Tue Jul 18, 2017 3:24 pm

They just need him for next year. Win SB, let him go to FA, then just get fat and happy.

From what I understand, they didn't want to deal with him until they knew what they were going to have to pay Bell.

I think they might just turn around and get the LT under contract.

Postby **nocera** » Tue Jul 18, 2017 3:27 pm

The contract would've made Bell the highest-paid running back by a wide margin, blowing past LeSean McCoy's $8 million per year.

Let's see him get through one full season. Then he can get paid.
