Only way I’m watching this upcoming **** show is afterwards… if they are somehow victorious (maybe Mike And squad somehow find a way to extract their head from their collective a$$e$)
No way I’m dedicating 3-4 hours of a Sunday afternoon to this impending **** show
Has Chase scored 2 TDs yet?
This is where I am at, I grew up watching Steeler Games, I can count on 1 hand how many games that I have missed.
Before DirecTV I used to drive to other TV markets to watch the game, I 've watched games in roadside rest areas, out of town bowling alleys. We formed Steeler Fan Clubs and convinced local bars with big ear satellites to show the game in return for our Sunday patronage.
That's all gone now. I still have a passion for football, but the Steelers Tradition is ruined. Art2 ruined it. He is your typical 3rd generation owner who has been handed a successful enterprise that he has driven into the ground and squandered.
There were early warning signs, he oversaw the building of Heinz Field and flubbed it. Despite a decade long waiting list for season tickets you would think that they would significantly increase capacity, did he? Of course not, you could not brag about your waiting list if you did that. Just after a few years of being open, what did they do, started adding seats. Which they have done multiple times since. There is an old adage, do it right the first time which is usually followed by a gentle smack to the head. Art2 apparently never got smacked. Stadiums that were built next, in Seattle and Houston were much better.
Backed by a new stadium and luxury suite revenue Art2 proudly proclaimed the days of Steeler stars being poached and going elsewhere were over. So, he resigned Chad Scott and Dwayne Washington and personally intervened at the last minute to keep a sure-fire future Hall of Famer in Pittsburgh, who was that future Hall of Famer, Jason Gildon. Instead of the HOF we got the Gildong Report.
Where he really blew it is when he ran off a successful Head Coach, local reporter Ed Bouchette said it did not have to end this way. It did. Art2 would make snide veiled shots at Cowher for not winning the big one and then refused to extend his contract as they had done in the past and despite his accomplishments. Even after winning the Super Bowl, ART2 refused to extend him so he left. Cowher worked for good ownership, and he knows a bad owner when he sees one. The teams that Cowher built the foundation for would play in 3 Super Bowls in 5 years.
Art2 came in saying we need to WIN the Super Bowl and inherited a coach that did it. He leaves with his coach who mumbles about the standard which he has lowered and with the hopes that if we sign a couple of FA, that we can win a wildcard playoff game and draft a QB later.
We used to Dominate the Central/North and play in Championship games with ****** QB's.
The chants of SELL THE TEAM that we hear at PNC Park, need to start in Acrisure Stadium.
