Naturally, Deadspin in their neverending bleeding heart stance is calling out the other players for criticizing Bell and "carrying the water for ownership". I think I'm finally finished with DS. I enjoy some of their stuff but everything is turned into a war against corporations, ownership, Republicans, etc. And I've become pretty damn pro player over the years.

I go for Magary and the occasional highlight and that’s about it. I enjoyed the site before everything became a **** social issue. Most of their writers don’t know jack **** anyways.

That's my take. Look, I get that sports and politics are intertwined at times but good lord they take themselves SO seriously

What they (and twits like Maurice Jones-Drew) fail to acknowledge is that the Steelers offered Bell a deal that would have made him the highest paid RB in the league and he turned it down. They didn’t strong arm him or try to avoid signing him longterm. The franchise tag structure is something the NFLPA agreed to. If ya don’t like it, demand it be changed in the future, but don’t try to turn getting paid $14MM into a sob story.

What we have going on now with these asshats turning everything into a social issue is a demolition of the **** that used to matter. Sportsmanship, being a good teammate, sacrificing yourself for the betterment of the team, trying to win a **** Super Bowl, etc. Everyone of note on that roster sacrificed more money on the open market in favor of being a Steeler and working together to win a Super Bowl. But **** all them so one dadhole can “get his”. For a site full of writers that are so open with their socialist ideals it’s amazing to me how quickly the one becomes more important than the whole when given the opportunity to stick it to the evil owners.

TLDR: everyone is a Canaan.

whoa? At least tell me that's photoshopped. He can't be that ****ing dumb, can he?

On second thought...

Postby **NTP66** » Thu Sep 06, 2018 9:30 am

Not Photoshopped. Bell did write that comment on that post.

Bouchette:

Josh Dobbs confirmed that he took the first-team quarterback snaps with the Steelers today as Ben Roethlisberger continued to be sidelined with an elbow injury.

Drama Ben.

Steelers TE Vance McDonald (foot) practices in full again Thursday; eyes return v. KC

Our savior is upon us.

Hallelujah

Postby **NTP66** » Thu Sep 13, 2018 5:22 pm

Jesse James would clap at his returns but manage to still miss.

Postby **tifosi77** » Thu Sep 13, 2018 8:32 pm

It's not Jones' fault he wasn't born with opposable thumbs.

Drama Ben.

The Savior will rise again on Sunday like nothing ever happened.

Maybe he'll only throw 2 INTs this week.

Postby **NTP66** » Fri Sep 14, 2018 9:49 am

Hey, that would still be a step in the right direction.

Postby **NTP66** » Fri Sep 14, 2018 1:38 pm

Steelers' HC Mike Tomlin said QB Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

Postby **NTP66** » Sun Sep 16, 2018 11:30 am

The #Steelers are a little banged up, but QB Ben Roethlisberger (right elbow), TE Vance McDonald (foot), DT Cameron Heyward (knee), and CB Artie Burns (toe) — listed as questionable — are expected to play vs. the #Chiefs, sources say.

I assume that both Haden and DeCastro are out, since I didn't see any updates on them.
