Interesting that he wasn’t attending team meetings or practices. Apparently mr no participation trophies thinks playing time should be given to him.

 

Didn't even visit his fallen teammate in the hospital

We don’t need that in the locker room. He’s all about himself

 

Yup. For better or worse he was not part of the team, and last time I checked teams win Superbowls, not individuals.

 

These new videos etc are really changing my opinion of the whole thing. Steelers made the right move, that behavior can't be good for anyone.

 

Funny thing is all this is changing my opinion in the opposite direction. All this makes me think they should have refused to grant his wish and buried him on the inactive list the rest of the way.

 

I understand and can even appreciate his frustration. He wasn't playing when he thought he could still be productive. He asked for his release numerous times and the Steelers made a business decision by not releasing him. At that point, he acted like a child and forced their hand.

What he did wasn't business, it was pathetic. Signing with the Pats was a business decision and I actually don't care one bit about that, but the stuff he did throughout the season is inexcusable. It's not part of football nor is it part of business. If you want to be a man on Sundays, then act like a man the rest of the week.

The Steelers gave JH every opportunity in the world and he made a name for himself that will live on forever. But he has destroyed a small part of that with his behaviour this year, and that's just sad.

I find it ironic he won't allow his kids to be given a participation trophy because he wants them to earn everything they get, but when something doesn't go his way, he acts like a child and throws a tantrum

 

Would have just created more tension imo. Steelers once again take the high road.

 

Once again tomlin colbert and rooneys do the right thing and keep quiet about it. Even though people were calling for their jobs. When will we learn?lol

 

Would have left us thin somewhere else. Inevitably he would have become even more of a distraction.

 

in terms of business decisions, long term ones are usually better than short term ones.

I stand by what I wrote in the other thread that time heals all wounds, but I will also admit that the Steeler fan base is a finicky one. If more and more negativity comes out about his actions this entire year and he plays an active on-field role in beating the Steelers in the AFCCG then things might play out differently for him.

He might get his 59k and a ring. But ask the Steeler Legends how their long term business worked out for them over the decades. I guarantee you Mel Blount (one example) has cashed more than $59k in checks since he retired just by playing the role and maintaining association with the Steeler organization.
