THE OFFICIAL UNOFFICIAL STEELERS BS THREAD..PART 11

[Steelerin MS]

Among the six rules changes that will be proposed to NFL owners at league meetings next week, the committee recommends banning players from using the crown of their helmet to initiate contact. At least 24 votes from 32 owners are required for passage.

Using the crown always has been a no-no for defenders, especially in cases where they could be flagged for spearing. Now the competition committee is looking for extra protection for defenders -- not to mention an offensive player who may put himself more at risk.

Evening, Misk. This free agency crap is driving me to drink...MORE.

I'm getting old...longing for the days when players were loyal, and stayed with one team for their whole careers.

Free agency sucks. Has done nothing but make damn-fool athletes richer than some CEOs, and enabled the wealthiest owners to buy talent that others have cultivated. Drives up ticket prices, while doing NOTHING to improve the sport.

OK, rant over.

 

[NorthCoastSteelersFan]

I guess he took off. Well, time to get some dinner.

 

[MISKO]

Steelers should pounce on him if they let Sanders go.

Cut Ike Taylor, trade up to draft a CB. make it work. he set his market value by agreeing to the re-structure.

 

[Cali Steel]

That doesn't seem quite right.
Says he had 23 minutes to read contract sign it and fax it back?
Should not. His agent have this shit down?

But hell we could use him for less then 12 mil.

but that 5M is gonna pay the draftees
although it sanders is gone, they'll need almost 6M to pay the additional 3rd rounder

 

[LeaderOCola]

Spaeth is back
JFC the FO has their heads completely up their asses.
everything about htis offseason smells of tomlin getting (rid of) "his boys (and his doghouse)" at the expense of the team

 

[MISKO]
