    Maybe they should do the same to brad wing after that terrible 29 yard punt at the end of the game against the Bucs.

    I suspected a punter would get sacrificed, but I didn't expect it to be the one who hasn't kicked in months. Well played, Steelers. Well played.

    He was reserve/did not report. He wasn't taking up a roster spot as far as I know.

    Well, I for one think it's a shame.

    No sarcasm intended. Podlesh could have been a benefit to the team, and difficult circumstances meant it wasn't to be. Best of luck to him.

    not sure how cutting a guy we weren't paying because he never showed up sends any message other than that it took us 2 months to figure out you were never going to show

    Why does green indicate sarcasm? Wish I had known that years ago before I insulted a lot of board members accidentally. I love sarcasm.

    So the Steelers didn't actually fire him, they just fixed the glitch. These things have a way of working themselves out.

    I can't remember when, but it was when someone a while back said there should be a different font for sarcasm so that people knew when it was happening, which was in itself a kind of sarcastic comment (because the previous discussion had been obviously sarcastic).

    Then someone else posted in green to over-emphasise that they were being sarcastic, and it went on from there. That's my memory of it, anyway...

    Yes, at the risk of sidestepping the jokes in the thread, it wasn't a great situation that Podlesh was in.
