    Steelers got their QB

    The Steelers aren't going to kiss Aaron Rodgers' *** like the Jets did. Rodgers is gonna have to fit in. The Jets changed their entire offense for the guy. This won't be a deal where everyone else has to learn his offense. But I can't argue with your observations about this offense. It has been...

    Steelers got their QB

    Agreed. I would have been fine with Fields for $40 million over two years cause he's a great guy in the locker room and he make big plays with his speed. But the Jets outbid us. But now with Rodgers, we have a chance to be better than that. Rodgers can see the whole field and throw across the...

    Steelers got their QB

    He'll be paid in the bottom 1/3 of starting QBs. They gave up nothing to acquire him. His signing doesn't even count toward comp pick calculations. He can't do all the things he used to do and he's got donkey brains. But the guy can still read a defense and he can spin it. He can make all of the...

    Baseball: 3-Hole Hitter Enters Portal

    There are exceptions. I remember spending time talking to A&M fans on championship weekend at the CWS last year. And man, were they proud of their team. Had all of those routines that they did to each players walk up music.... then Texas bought their baseball coach and, I didn't follow it...

    So the rivalry continues! Doc Sadler would be proud.

    Baseball: 3-Hole Hitter Enters Portal

    Players are putting themselves up for sale. The question is whether they are good enough to get that big payday. I would think that there are not as many big money NIL baseball programs out there compared to football or basketball.

    Steelers got their QB

    Tomlin is pretty chill. He's the best coach in the league with player relations and team chemistry. As far as Rodgers goes, I watched the Jets Hard Knocks two years ago. Rodgers was being treated by the players as some sort of demi-god. Salah and the coaches treated Rodgers as an equal. They...

    Steelers got their QB

    The easiest way to do that would be to not play at KC, Buffalo or Baltimore in the first round. We're not going to win the Super Bowl, but if we want progress we have to avoid losing games to ****** teams. Or Lamar Jackson gets hurt and we win the division.

    New and improved Memorial Stadium

    Valid opinion!

    June recruiting big weekends

    Exactly. That's why I used the term "sold".

    June recruiting big weekends

    People on here will disagree. But at this moment, I would think that enough top prospects could be sold that NU has already broken out. Five star QB with a year of starting experience, a bowl victory, facility improvements, decent NIL. All of the pieces are in place. NU, again at this moment...

    Steelers got their QB

    Another Steelers fan checking in. My hope is that Rodgers has a season that is similar to what Joe Montana did with the Chiefs. Montana, like Rodgers today, was at best 3/4 of his old self, but was still much better than what KC had. Montana was also old and coming off an injury. But he still...

    Steelers got their QB

    LeVeon Bell... not counting injuries, drugs, legal issues, is there another pro football player who f'ed up his career more than that guy? Colin Kaepernick is the only guy I can think of.

    Old School Baseball

    I don't know about the corrupt part- I'll take your word for it- but I've always thought of Oakland as being smaller and poorer than most pro sports cities. Personally, I've looked at owners as being corrupt as well. Threatening to move a franchise unless they don't get even better tax treatment...

    Old School Baseball

    I don't know. I loved watching NFL games being played on baseball fields on grass. Oakland was one of those fields. I miss those days.
