Crosby just walked by me in the arena. Full suit. Winked at a worker and appeared to say "i"m ok." Walking briskly. No sign of a limp.

So @IngrahamAngle rips LeBron & KD for how they talk after she can't even spit out the phrase "dumb jock." BTW, "drop the politics" is just code for-"I only wanna hear politics if they are the same as mine." Oh, & if you want athletes out of politics,then keep POTUS out of sports
WATCH: Fox News's Laura Ingraham says LeBron and KD should 'shut up and dribble' after criticism of President Trump

Antonio Brown can kiss and make up with Burfict, who almost killed him. But Roethlisberger criticizes his route running once, and he has to force his way out of a valid contract in PGH? What a pandering, phony, sell out. So much for #Karma

Stan Savran worked until the very last day he could. If he couldn't host/be on TV, then he'd call in. Just because he wanted to. Because he enjoyed it. Everyday. He really liked talking with every single listener/viewer. Stan, we all loved the show... and everyone loved you.

Hmmm. Good point here. It might be risky. The next guy might go 15 of 19 seasons without a playoff win. Then what??!!
The “Fire Tomlin!” crowd will be out in full force after this one. If Art Rooney does it, Tomlin will land with one of the teams currently looking for a new coach. And Rooney will have try to find someone better.

Depressing myself by watching an old @steelers/@Ravens game on @nflnetwork where Brown and Bell are taking turns making big plays. It was 2017. Franchise tags could be played through. No mustaches were blonde. And Boz just made a 52 yarder. These were more simple times.

There is no way in hell Pickett stands in that pocket, sees it collapsing around him, throws over top of that trash, and hits Pickens for the 33 yard gain in the fourth qtr. No way in hell. That's a throw Pickett never even tries.

So Im clear...the guy who has such little control over his temper that he swings a helmet at another player,immediately thereafter has the calm and awareness to withhold the accusation of a racist slur and hold it privately from postgame til 7 days later until his appeal. Got it.

As the Rams were making their way down the field on both of their last 2 drives, that's the first time in a long time I thought to myself..."It's Ok, this defense is good enough that when they really need the stop they'll get it.... And actually had confidence in that belief.

ESPN can try to "humanize" AB and his actions all they want with whole "he's a 6th rd draft pick from Liberty City" routine. It doesn't excuse his behavior. And to accept his explanation of not taking any responsibility without a tougher follow up or two was a joke.

Tomlin/Steelers had to respond after this display from @espn @OTLonESPN. The whole conversation was framed from the context of “if” Rudolph said it. And everyone on the set responds like they know/believe/want to think it actually did. Garrett has talked this into existence
216
84
671
Now that we know Burfict is ok per the ESPN sideline report (and AB tok another headshot), I feel more comfortable in pointing out the irony of Burfict reiterating his stupid belief AB was faking his injury back in the 2015 playoffs

624
Not only does @espn @OTLonESPN owe Rudolph a similar response interview, they need to put soft backlighting behind him, ask all the questions in soft, hushed delicate tones, then shine up whatever charity work he’s doing next....just like they did for Garrett.
30

654
Read the responses in this thread. They are unreal. The amount of Cleveland fans who have convinced themselves that Rudolph is to blame and Garrett is somehow a victim is awe inspiring.
#Steelers Mike Tomlin was asked how to prevent another incident, said 'you'd have to ask those guys. I don't know that we did anything to make it happen in the first place. That's why I said we didn't have anything to learn from it'

How should the apology go? “I’m sorry I fought back when I was getting shoved into the turf after a late hit”....or “I’m sorry my head got in the way of the helmet.” Torrey, I’d say you are over thinking this .... but it’s clear to me you aren’t thinking at all.

It's stunning how many people who want to portray millionaire athletes-particularly those who have been paid in the way AB has,& have acted the way that he has-as some sort of trailblazer for the common working man. It's a joke. He had a valid high end deal & pouted his way out.

I have no idea how you look at that play and not throw a flag after they threw a flag on Neal when he hit Lawrence. The @NFL rule book stinks. But the NFL refs make it up as they go along on every play and they stink too.

Won't be a popular take outside of PGH. But I wouldn't suspend Pouncey. When something goes that far above and beyond normal action, a player defending another player in danger can't be held responsible for his actions to protect that teammate.

So Pickens' penalty resulted in a FG try instead of a potential TD. It was blocked. And they wasted a timeout in the process. Well done, george

To be clear, I'm a critic of Wolf's policy making/messaging. But if you carried an AR15 & wore a clown mask in Harrisburg, make fun of DR. Levine's gender, or think you are a modern day Nathan Hale because you won't wear a facemask into a CVS, I'm not on your side either.

Malik Reed credited Mac Jones for checking out of (& into) various plays at the line of scrimmage on the final drive. "He was seeing what we were in. He is pretty smart. Once they had a feel for our adjustments, they were able to counteract those things," Reed said.

The best comment during this whole thing...After @maxkellerman's 21st reference to Tomlin "being a defense attorney for Rudolph."

Greg Brown gets crap for hyper enthusiasm in the face of zero stakes cuz of the #Pirates often hideous record. But from a PxP perspective I appreciate how he honors the craft & treats every inning/out/game in a vacuum of what's important in the moment. He's really good at that.

I'm still baffled at the notion that this #Steelers team might go 5-1 in-divison...against a division that may have all four teams finish above .500...and two losses to two last place teams at home in other divisions still may cost them the playoffs.

Pouncey on Bell--"Honestly it's a little selfish. I'm kinda pissed right now. It sucks that he's not here. we'll move on as a team. It doesn't look like he'll be in the game plan at this point. Conner looks great. We'll worry about him in week 2."
