:this!: Probably just Goodell trying to get his Ravens back to the Super Bowl.
Now that he no longer hits, sound bites are all he's good for.
People said the same last year (or was it the year before?) and then the games started and he looked like the same old Ben. For all I know he...
Who cares?
IMO Troy's extension was a mistake. He was coming off his best season in years, and you never buy high. That's just dumb.
I'll wait and be the judge of that myself when the bullets start flying. It's not the first time they've said that he'd lost weight and reported...
I see.
That's not possible. Ben is still owed ~ $23.7 mil in base salary on that contract. $102 mil - $23.7 mil = $78.3 mil

My source is linked in my post. The fact that Ben is the first player to earn $70 million on one contract means nothing more than that Ben is the...
So it's a sign of respect that they didn't respond to his request for a raise with absolute silence? Where I'm from, when you ask your boss for...

It's not one thing. It's part of a pattern of behavior towards him.
That's not how it works. If Ben were to retire 4 years into an 8 year deal, Ben would owe the Steelers the unaccounted for portion of his signing...
That's not the way the franchise tag works anymore. That's one more area where the players got screwed in the CBA.
lol! No. Not only has Ben not made more money than any player ... there are QBs drafted years after him that have already earned more. From the...
It's very smart business ... because they know that Ben won't make an issue of it. Ben is a special kind of stupid. He should have immediately...
The mind screw is strong in Pittsburgh. Telling a guy they won't extend his contract this offseason somehow becomes a sign of respect.
Extending Ben this offseason didn't have to negatively affect our cap this year or next. There is no salary cap reason for not extending Ben this...
