Training camp is a slog. Every morning, Steelers players drag their sizable frames out of modest St. Vincent College dorm rooms with white brick walls and wooden dressers. Vets might get a room to themselves.

Brown had something more: An Airbnb-style rental home close to campus.

Several players say the general belief was that Brown did not sleep at St. Vincent. Though players might get an occasional day off or time to see family, most agree Brown’s setup was different.
Several say Brown routinely showed up late to team meetings that set up the upcoming game week. If he was loosely on time, he might be the last one to walk through the door. One player went as far to say he didn't see Brown once in the Wednesday morning meetings during his one season with the team.

Players say Tomlin has a fine system that can range from $1,000 to more than $5,000. Brown, who has a $72.7 million contract and millions more in endorsements, remained unfazed. Two players recalled Brown and receiver Eli Rogers -- once nicknamed "Little A.B." by some teammates -- walking into the same meeting a few minutes late. Both were told to sit down, but they only remember Rogers getting fined.

Players said Brown was fined from time to time for his tardiness. Tomlin would usually announce the fines as late players entered.
Pretty thorough piece. ESPN doing some real journalism between the Browns piece yesterday and this one today.

Entire organization is a joke. Art Rooney needs to grow a sack.

@Kenny Ironically, he seems to be when he shows up; countless teammates say so in the piece. Its just an open question of how late he's gonna be, and this year, will he show at all.

He was plugged in the year Bryant was suspended all year. IIRC Rogers ended up being the actual #2 that year

Brown is officially the second most despised Steeler, behind Juju.

People should really start using the term "GOAT" more. You just don't hear it quite enough.

It really sucks that the NFL is becoming a 100% passing league, because goddamn the WRs are largely the worst (apologies to Fitz, Megatron, etc).
