Nick Herbig on if he wants to be a starter: "I wouldn't call myself not a starter. I would just say I'm a team guy. If you need me to play off the ball, on the ball, to run down on punt ... I'm a Steeler. There's no starters and backups, I'm a Steeler." -- From Chris Halicke in Pittsburgh
Edge Nick Herbig and the Pittsburgh Steelers reached agreement today on a four-year, $100 million dollar extension that includes $42 million guaranteed per @MikeGarafolo and me.
The deal was negotiated by Joe DiBenedetto, Andy Simms and Ken Sarnoff of @1OF1FOOTBALL.
Charles Barkley: "I think we need to all pray for Wemby."
Kenny Smith: "Why?"
Barkley: "Because he can't play too many minutes, they are gonna kill him out there."
Smith: "You're joking."
Barkley: "I'm damn sure joking 'cause you guys -- these people, they are pissing me off. I'm watching the whole games.
They (OKC) ain't playing dirty, and I'm like: 'These are some of the softest fouls I've ever seen in my life'
You got these clowns on TV talking about: "They are gonna hurt poor Wemby."
I was like: 'Hurt him? Are you really kidding, man?'
It drives me crazy watching these shows".
NEW: It's now more lucrative to have a losing sports team than a championship team.
We examined the Boston Red Sox to see how private equity and cost cutting invaded sports.
In this era, teams want to sell good players for profit more than they want to have a good season.
Major League Baseball is aired in the morning for Japan. So technically they eat breakfast with it being on television.
Here’s their #openingday commercial. No hyperbole, when I say this, it might be greater than any US MLB commercial I’ve seen. Well done and worth the watch for any baseball fan.
💣🚨: The Steelers and Chris Shula remain in constant communication, and both sides share mutual interest in finalizing a deal early next week. Shula to Steelers 🔜 🟡⚫️
The infuriating part of this is 65% of baseball fans have felt this way for a long time but it didn't matter to baseball until Mets, Yankees & Red Sox fans felt this way too
He skipped meetings, skipped practice, was late to games, encouraged players to fake injuries, & forced his release to sign with the Pats to stick it to the Steelers.
Theres NO opinion I care less to hear about than James Harrison’s when it comes to Mike Tomlin.
He’s bitter.
Love seeing these sports “journalists” getting ABSOLUTELY BURIED for being curmudgeon bums..
OBVIOUSLY NOT ALL OF THEM but a LARGE % of these things hate sports.. they hate what sports are for people (happiness).. They hate what sports are for society (unifier).. they’re political journalists by nature who’ve preyed on sports because they saw it as an easier path to “make it”
Their days are numbered.. my show being broadcasted on ESPN 10 hours a week with ZERO creative say from any “journalism school” puppets is living proof of that.. that’s why they attack me as much as possible.. I’m happy the world is starting to see what they truly are.
Now… We as a society have to stop taking these particular humans seriously. Their opinions and thoughts are coming from a place of wanting to destroy sports.
Sports are the greatest thing on Earth, these motherfuckers have no idea… and will never get it.
Also.. Thank you Lynn Jones for setting up a situation for me and all of us on how Liam Coen, a man who might be a 🐐 when he’s done, handles compliments during one of his most miserable moments. He handled it with class and humility.. feels like some journalism was actually done there.
“Journalists” being upset about this has really kinda made my day. How dare some sweet lady told Liam Coen good job and take up 27 seconds of their day.
