i can empathize with a lot of this. I have certainly found my interest waning in recent years. There were times when i risked repercussions at jobs to sneak and listen to games on shift, etc. Nowadays, i can honestly say i have not seen a second of the Steeler pre-season.
I am not totally gone yet. I will watch the games this year. If not, I will record them and skip through later that night, but the combination of this doofus commish ruining the sport with all the rule changes and the over-saturation of the NFL draft, media day, monday night, tuesday night, wednesday night football, etc., and all of the miscreants on the steelers has me caring a little less each season
Shamarko with a strip/sack/fumble return TD late in the 4th quarter to send it to OT
Brady's looked crappy in the preseason, and the tabloids are full of stories about his problems with Gis.
Steelers very much have a chance next week.
Clap, clap, clap. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Honestly the chances that all the legal wranglings would come to a head 7 days before the opener are less than zero. This **** started in February. Had it been done expediently the NFL appeal would be in motion and he could have faced his suspension in November, December or worse January. Had it dragged out it would have been half done before the judgement came in. Then the NFL says it won't seek an injunction. Why? He would have if he lost. I can take a lot from this clown show. No one should like having their intelligence insulted.I think Rog rigged it so Br*dy WOULD win on an appeal in court but it would look like he did something. I think the Pats** are still his favorite team and Kraft is his favorite owner.
Oh God. Wait till you really see Phil Kessel play. Or worse listen to the crap he says after the game. You will regret that jersey.If that happens. My faith in football may come back. Then I'd buy me a Sharknado jersey for the season. I'm thinking on going outside the box and rock a Phil Kessel jersey instead. Maybe some Pens magic will rub off on the Steelers

God love you. Keep believing that all you want. Pigs fly too ( on old screen savers).
The problem is in the real world the Stillers don't have the personnel to take advantage of that. Frankly, from what've seen so far the line should be 16 pts NOT 6.
I'm fearing an epic beatdown too. Brady is going to be out for blood. This defense has too many holes. No Leveon Bell, no Martavis Bryant. That will make the game harder for the offense as well
Safe money is on the over and on the Pats with the points. The offense will have trouble without a real center shoring up the middle. The lack of skill players at RB1, and WR3 will further hamper our ability to move the ball with consistency.
OMG thats like a wet dream. Id sell my soul for that event.Honestly, I could see Harrison destroy Brady on a sack, and would expect Godell to run on the field to high five silverback.
Silverback ignores the high-five and body slams Godell like a Cleveland fan.
THAT would be better than a suspension...
Actually, he asked permission from Ted Wells before he broke his phone. And no one should get 4 games suspension for destroying phones. Brett farve was fined 50K when he did the same. Are you dumb, by any chance?
No I'm not. Brett Favre destroyed his phone because he was trying to cover up infidelity. What are you implying? Perhaps you're dumb.
Stings a little, doesn't it?
Yep, this was a huge can of worms that was opened... the players who have been suspended over the past few years or fined for that matter should all appeal, every one of them... that would get the NFL to try to speed up the Brady appeal in emergency status rather than let it dangle through to mid 2016 at least. This is why Federal Judges are supposed to keep their nose out of arbitration processes at all costs...Since when is T.J. Ward's suspension upheld?
Charges were dropped, He was cleared of wrongdoing and clearly Goodell doesn't have the authority to hand down and sustain suspensions. Yet it seems Ward is suspended this week.
What ******* gives? Seriously? How does that work? I honestly don't see how the league continues business as usual in light of the commissioner's no-faith situation.
Remember the season after Spygate they went 15-1 and ran the score up on everybody (except the Giants).
I can't help myself. I know it's a sickness...
Pat's Troll desperately clinging to a shred of dignity...
Let's consider the utter stupidity of his response here for just a moment.
1) Ted Wells asked Brady for information OFF the phone to help with the investigation. This tool then suggests Brady responded by asking Wells, "Um, no I don't want to give you any of my texts or calls, but do you mind if I destroy my phone?" What do you suppose Wells said? Probably something like, "I can't force you to give me the information, but I would strongly urge you to cooperate." And then Tom said something like. "So you're ok if I destroy the phone. GREAT!" I didn't bother bringing the up thought, because I really just wanted to utterly hammer him senseless with my baby-seal killer. My response below...
And then, just so he went home with a parting gift I added...
