    As enraging as it is it’s making me look forward to tomorrow’s game even more. I’m psyched. They better not let me down or the tv is getting thrown into the Fukin Street.

    The Steelers gave up an elite receiver for pennies on the dollar and he ended up on the Patriots. The only way this could have worked out worse is if Brown would have been eligible to play Sunday night. The Steelers got worse, didn’t get enough in return and the entire mess ended up helping the Patriots. Sometimes being right sucks

    I predicted this!!! As did half the board, but how was it done Soooo Quickly??? Please someone convince me this wasn’t already in the works before he was released!!!

    I am now praying the Steelers put Dangerfield in at FS and promised him they’ll pay his fine and whatever if he takes Brown out!!!!!

    Double bonus if he gets a concussion in his new helmet!!!

    Severely cripple your team by continuing to employ a cancer that's ripping you apart, or strengthen your opponent. Seems like six to one, a half-dozen to another.
    At least as it is, the Steelers have more control over their own organization. I'll take that 8 days a week.

    Brown isn't eligible to play tomorrow so if somebody's gonna take him out it won't be us.

    I'm sure we can expect to see Goodell in Kraft's comfy owner's box.

    I'm curious who the Pats are going to cut to free up $15M in cap space. ($9M of Brown's contract is guaranteed, but the contract is $15M.)

    If you live your life making decisions based on what your adversaries think of you, you cripple yourself and will die a slow death.

    They have $9.1M available. Not sure how the incentives work though.

    How does this make the Patriots look picking him up so fast after all the heartache he caused The Raiders?

    Watch the game listen to Steelers radio. It won’t be as bad once the game starts.

    They cut a center earlier in the day. It's basically insider trading.

    NFL fans are tired of the Brady show. The only people who can do anything about it are defensive players. Parity is dead otherwise.

    I had some doubters. My abilities to foresee the future are matched by no one. Patriots...7 time Super Bowl champs. You heard it here first.

    All this really does is insure Brady plays another 5 years. Probably wins at least 3 more rings in the process. AB will calm down since he has a legit chance of getting a few rings not to mention possibly sticking it to his old team in the playoffs.

    FWIW, I do believe there was some tampering. No way a contract like is being reported is hashed out in an hour. These contracts take time for all concerned parties to review. This is not a free agent signing here, and we know these contracts are usually pretty complicated. I don't see how it could get hashed out in a hour or two. Just count me suspicious.

    With that being said, it is not illegal. The league can investigate but what is the real use? The league is all about viewership and money anyway and this just keeps the interest level at a feverish pace. It is good for the NFL overall and that is why the owners won't say a word. They are getting paid even when they throw out a trash team, so why rock the boat? They probably feel that it is fine to let NE win the SB as long as they are making money, who cares? There are only a few owners that care about winning the SB anyway while the rest see it as a business first and as long as they make money, move on.

    Now, the ball is in the Steeler's court. They have the ability to change things as do the other teams in the league. All you have to do is beat NE. Beating NE will heal these wounds.

    Sadly though, the Steeler's will probably wallow in self pity along with their fans and just sit around wringing their hands. Let's see, this years loss to the Patriots will be caused by the new demon in town.

    Same old Steeler's, blaming their poor play, poor coaching and poor drafting on the boogie man. Crack open another Iron and pour it on.

    One thing for sure is I can't wait for Steeler DAD to comment on this fiasco. At least I'll laugh a little.

    Between this b.s. and the 6th SB ceremony I have no desire to watch anymore.

    With AB signing with the evil empire, I will either be rolling on the floor laughing when he does his thing and does not cooperate with the Emperor, or I will be crying if AB`s mental disorder suddenly disappears and he plays good. This crazy stuff can`t be made up.
