Jory Rand, sports anchor for KDKA, reported via Twitter earlier that signs were posted around the Steelers locker room stating that anyone with less than 4 years NFL experience cannot play pool, shuffle board, or ping pong during business hours.

The signs indicated that the new rule only applied during business hours in the locker room- from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM. A few players were asked about it after practice. Ben Roethlisberger said he was unaware of the changes. When asked if the signs were new, Ryan Clark said, “Did you see them there yesterday?” Antonio Brown said, “Sometimes… a lot of veteran leaders allow young guys to be here on business hours and still have a good time…I think the older guys are cracking down and making sure guys on the clock are business savvy while they’re here.”
Most of the signs, however, were removed by the time practice had concluded. Share your thoughts on this in the Steelers Talk Forum.
