Now they've ruined the off-season too!

You think I'm full of **** and I know you are

 

Let’s just keep it about the Steelers.

 

He just likes to open his mouth and prove it, no thinking involved.

 

Careful lunatic! You are the one who acts like a pissed-off cheerleader.

And I doubt if you are even cute in your short skirt and pom poms.

 

That's fair. And believe me, I wish just one of you guys who keep saying it will all be fine would provide a reason why you say that? And saying you trust the Rooney's is not an answer as there are no more "Rooney's", there is Art II and virtually 100% of what we have seen from him spells disaster. For God sake the man acted flabbergasted that a reporter used the word "circus" in reference to the Steelers. He is either a world class liar or a world class dolt!

 

I wish I understood where people get their impressions of Art II?

All I have to go on is the steady decline in discipline and the steady increase of the circus as he has become the man in charge. I agree that the former Rooney's in charge of the Steelers were not the type to air dirty laundry, in fact they were the best at keeping it in house and quiet. On the other hand, Art II has allowed a public cluster-**** to grow mold and take on a life of it's own.

 

I miss Ernie.

 

I get all that and I have no doubt that today's social media and omni-present media in general is very different than Dan or Art Sr. and so Art II can't be held to their standard but what I don't get is why he appears to be one of the biggest buffoons out of all the owners at the current moment, a moment when every team has the same media related issues to deal with that he does.

Social media or media in general are not the cause for Art II allowing Tomlin to methodically create the toxic environment that has become the Steelers locker room.

Social media or media in general are not the cause for Art II allowing issues with prima donna players to grow to the point of cancer.

Social media or media in general are not the cause for Art II making a public statement which resulted in the team getting next to nothing for the best WR in the game.

Social media or media in general are not the cause for Art II allowing Colbert to make statements which will create animosity in the 2019 locker room.

 

You have your opinion and I have mine. I have faith in the Rooney’s.

 

What Rooney's?

 

The Rooney’s that own the Steelers.

 

Name them?

 

I don't live anywhere near Pittsburgh so, I don't ever see any stories about the Rooneys. Maybe, just maybe, the "problem" with Rooney is simply YOUR perception of him. Looking at what you've posted, just in this thread, it seems as though Art must have peed in your corn flakes! You make him sound like Spanos!
Relax. The Steelers will be fine doing it "the Steeler way"!

 

I guess I can quit my job too since I am certain to win the Power Ball

 

Then, you can buy the team and run it any way you want! Brilliant!

 

Actually the Rooney’s aren’t the sole owners anymore. They have an ownership group now. But the Rooney’s run the team.

 

You must be a politician! Name the Rooney's who "run" the team. And while you're at it, tell us what each of them is responsible for?

 

No way! Then everyone will call me an idiot!

I'm as big a Steeler fan as anyone but I have yet to find anyone who can tell me why they believe Art II knows what he's doing. His ancestry doesn't count, his heritage doesn't count, only his recent past performance (3-5 years) ..... and nobody has even made an attempt to list why his past performance makes them warm and comfortable.

 

The last three Super Bowls that the Steelers were in Art II was the team president and owner. I’m confident that the Rooney’s will continue to field a highly competitive team year in and year out.

 

Art Rooney jr. is the Vice President.
Dan Rooney jr. is Player Personal coordinator.

 

Well he doesn't fire coaches.....wait is that good or bad....

 

…..as opposed to...……?

 

Why don't other teams/owners seem to struggle with social media to the extent the Steelers do? Is it individual knucklehead players here or are there policies in place regarding it elsewhere I wonder. It's probably something the Steelers should consider. (facebook live from the locker room should have ended it imo)
