The altercation that led Antonio Brown's benching last week was with Ben Roethlisberger. Im told it was fairly ugly and the WR was totally in the wrong. He went AWOL essentially for the 3rd time this season dating back to training camp

As a Spurs fan, I understand the pain Steelers fans are going through. It's twice as bad for them though.

Tampa GM said any coach they hire has to embrace crab legs. Winston's option is being picked up and will be the starter next year.

Ah, always makes sense to force opinions on a new coach. That won't create any conflict

It always feels like this locker room is a toxic dumpster fire lol.

Wtf lol so after brown had the best game of the year they get in a big fight after losing a game that was neither of their fault?

[Rhyis.]

Should've been mad at juju lol

Antonio is a baller, but it's obvious he can't handle being a co-#1 receiver. Second Juju started getting recognition and getting looks from Rothlesburger, he turned into a super whiny douche.

TB is trying the best they can to make drafting him in the first round worth it. He had a good first year IMO.. don't know what happened after that.

As for Antonio Brown: I've been feeling this for a while now, but a lot of drama and people leaving/wanting more money but can't, seem to be swirling around this guy. Almost sounds like a T.O./younger Randy Moss.

Bengals firing long time coach: Their bad luck began when they hired Hue Jackson. Bengals are done whether he's the new HC or not.

ATL: Firing the OC is only going to fix a small part of the problem. GM gotta go, been gotta go.

[Weltall]

Bengals are probably set up to be bottom feeders for awhile. I bet AJ Green gets out of town in 2020.

[Cail]

Brian Orakpo retiring

[Cail]

Oakland signed Nathan Peterman to a reserve/futures contract

[Weltall]

Tomlin needing to be fired isn’t so silly after all, huh? No one has ever squandered so many resources in nfl history.

[Mertron]

i feel like tomlin is basically andy reid in philly at this point in pitt

he’s probably a good head coach, but he’s been there too long and might be better off elsewhere

[Mertron]

(fwiw i think reid is a better coach tho)

[Weltall]

Reid is a fuck load better. Players love Reid and praise him into retirement.

[Mythe_Seraph]

The Steelers locker room seems like an absolute cancer pit

[Rhyis.]

I mean, was it Mariucchi's fault TO was cancer?
Why can't we just blame the diva wide receiver for being diva wide receiver nowadays?

[Weltall]

Because in the Steelers case, it’s not just 1 diva WR.

[Mythe_Seraph]

it was reported back in week 10 that when Bell didn’t show up the team raided his locker and dispersed his belongings (cleats, headphones, etc). Not only does that seem illegal but the fact that they would even do that to a team mate, and have it be tolerated, is disgusting. There didn’t seem to be any reprocussions either like what the fuck? If I was the head coach and I saw my players behaving like that I’d be pissed. That’s the kind of stuff Tomlin let’s fly it seems. And even if he didn’t take those types of actions himself, he is responsible for fostering that type of culture there.

Haven’t seen it posted yet, the 2019 draft order.

Someone sell me on Dwayne Haskins. Although I can see the jags trading up, my only real concern.

Gruden and Carr seemed to have ended the season on a small bromance so not that worried on the raiders. Bucs have already vouched for Winston next year. And I don’t think Broncos will trade the world to move up for Haskins. The rest in front of the giants already have their young stud qb’s of the future.
