@JoshYohe_PGH The precept that Elliotte Friedman has referred to often that if a team is out of playoff position at Thanksgiving it only has a 1 in 8 chance of making it. Dubas is aware of things like this so do you see that time or as being when trades might take shape?
• Your “family members” faking injuries while acting like petulant children
• Captain Cam, who has never won anything, setting standard for prioritizing financial greed over winning
• TJ throwing a bigger fit about not winning individual awards than never winning a playoff game
• TikTok dances while getting asses kicked at home during 4th quarter of playoff game in same week said player publicly mocked the opposition
• A spineless owner
• A directionless GM
• Devin Bush a fan of dead cats
• James Harrison falling asleep in meetings
• Chase Claypool being all about Chase Claypool
• DK Metcalf assaulting other team’s fans and making fun of his own while being one of the biggest busts in team history
• Patrick Queen and his business decisions last week
• An army of players acting like jerks and forcing their way out mid-season
• Incompetent assistant coaching hires based on cheapness or nepotism
That’s just off the top of my head. I’d say a lot has changed in the last few years, none of it good. As far as I can tell, the dignity possessed by people like Jerome Bettis and Troy Polamalu appears to very much be in the rear view mirror. On and off the field, the Steelers have problems. And they are many.
@JoeStarkey1 Most everything these days is worse than it was 10 or 15 years ago but the steep crash of College Gameday has turned a fun Saturday morning watch into a no-thanks on the level of SportsCenter. Do you agree?
@JoshYohe_PGH Looks like the big market dollars are going to win out for a Texas team and Atlanta. Would either of those pay more dividends than a second Toronto team? And it’s sad we won’t have another Quebec team again.
@JoshYohe_PGH How much influence does the big club have when prospects are determining their paths? Like for Brady Peddle, going into a crowded blue line at Michigan State. Could the Pens monitor and suggest a transfer if his playing time is minimal?
@MarkMaddenX This area has forgotten how a good football team functions. McCarthy might not be a world beater but his is infinitely more professional and prepared to actually coach his team than the fraud Tomlin.
