TJ Watt is on the sidelines selling steroids to little kids.

Nauseating. Watching the Steelers block a punt is a horrible experience.

Doink! Ball don’t lie!

Steelers offense looks completely hopeless.

Run the ball you fucking morons.

Mixon’s a beast.

I hope someone on our coaching staff knows how to light a fire under these guys.

Browning looks horrible. Play calling not helping him. Halftime can’t get here fast enough.

Run the fucking ball.

We won’t leave this field in shame, we are here to CRUSH!

Agreed. Although there are still a few (Vegas), the number of cities willing to just hand over a stadium to an owner (and really to all the owners, because all their teams play there) are dwindling. This is one facet of the argument that nfl franchise values are at or close to their peak. Family owned teams should sell. The current value far exceeds any sane valuation formula. With the various entities bidding for even one game a week, I think they’ve maximized the tv contract. To get a game or a small package of games, you bid against traditional networks like NBC, upstart networks that have made it, like Fox, cable networks, like ESPN, online shopping service that wants to be more, like Amazon, internet streaming organizations like Youtube, and finally the NFL itself and their network. And most of those outfits are paying way more than they are getting in actual $ return, justifying the deal with the intangible value of just driving eyes to your platform. I just don’t see how it can go much beyond this. Right now the Brown family has all their money in one business. It’s a great business, for sure. But cash out of there and diversify that capital across a bunch of sectors and geographic regions. It’s just so much safer. Not as fun though, I’m sure.

I have it right now. Forearm’s been hurting since July. I’m putting off the cortizone shot I obviously need, hoping it’ll magically get better but it never does.

Browning has forearm pain, listed on the injury report today, at least that’s what I read somewhere.

Man, that is hard to believe. It feels like Browning is just getting his career going, and Ross’ career seems to be over. From what I can tell Ross was only a year ahead of Browning at Washington.

These refs better learn to help the Chiefs line up otherwise it’s just embarrassing for the league, apparently. PS - The league needs to hit this dude hard, that tantrum was ridiculous.

I watched that game. Mahomes came unglued. I’m not sure what he expects the line judge to do. Dude is accustomed to being the NFL’s golden boy and can’t accept reality.

It’s the nfl, any team can beat you. Hopefully Jefferson takes another week off. Hard not to like the direction we’re going. Minny kind of doing the opposite.

Herbert has a broken finger.

I just read that on Brown’s td run he reached the 2nd highest speed of anyone in the nfl this year. 22.05 mph

Re-fitting a bathtub. You pull the fixtures out and you are left with an unholy stain made up of fossilized plumbers putty, mold, crud, etc. And I am making note of this for one purpose, and that is to say that the person who invented these Mr. Clean Magic Eraser sponges deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for these things. They are amazing.

History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man. Having said that, yep, I’m into it to.

No shit. Steelers get a pass on everything. Meanwhile the organization’s whole reputation is built on the ‘70s when their pioneering use of steroids just ruined guys’ lives.

Typical Steelers - TJ Watt put in concussion protocol Friday morning. Why was he able to continue playing after Zeke hurt him? He was out for 3 plays, then they sent him back in. During the game he had a tinted visor installed on his helmet. Light sensitivity is a screaming red flag for concussion. After the game he was unable to do a previously scheduled interview due to a “migraine.” Shows up at the facility Friday, put into concussion protocol.

Steelers media in meltdown. It is pretty great.

Tomlin was so depressed on the sideline last night that he couldn’t even try to act tough. His normal mean mugging was replaced by a look of resigned bewilderment.
