    very true, I was planning on flying out to Vegas to attend the draft in person but am reconsidering it now.

    but maybe I'll go anyway to attend Days 2 and 3 and do a lot of drinking and gambling in the casinos. nobody said life was easy, sometimes you just have to suck it up and play the cards you're dealt...

    Steelers fans should be boycotting the draft. It's no coincidence the Steelers move their 1st round pick for the first time in 50 years after getting completely screwed by Bell, Goodell, and especially Kraft/AB. They let a player sabotage our compensation(1st from Buffalo) go to Oakland and force his way off the team and go to the one place we didn't want him to go. You want to screw us over. Lets get this young stud and see how well your draft ratings do without one of the biggest fanbases/markets.

    Did someone say boycott?
    Would that be a real boycott or one of those fake boycotts?

    Not watching the draft with the Steelers having no pick is easy. Just like if the Patriots/AB make the Super Bowl. I expect you to participate in that one as well.

    They’ve been full of surprises lately, maybe they move back into the 1st.

    Or maybe they are picking 32 and it’s not so painful :yeehaw:

    I’ve been a real fan longer than some people have been alive. I ain’t riding with this **** show.

    We are a mess, if you a real fan withhold your money until they fix this crap

    It's not the Steelers fault they are getting screwed by Goodell and Kraft. I say support the team but boycott everything else especially playoffs not involving the Steelers, Super Bowl, and 1st round of next draft. But Glemm has no balls. He really needs to watch the Patriots win 7.

    I would think the best example of that would be the 99 Cleveland Browns. They announced that they were moving to Balitmore and it just kinda of was a cloud hanging over the team. They weren't intentionally tanking but weren't playing the best football they could.

    In honor of Ben, I’ll set the over/under on how long the boycott lasts at 7 minutes.

    Wtf do those cheaters have to do with us? WTH does Goodyear blimp have to do with us. Do they have the power to make us keep an incompetent head coach, is roger making us implement maybe the worst defensive scheme year after year, do the cheats control our draft and roster? Stop being obsessed with a bunch of massholes.

    Rooney can eat it for all I care. I’m not spending a dollar in any merchandise, going to the game, $75 for a fing parking pass, making me buy 4 worthless pre-season games. You can call me a fair weather fan all you want, I’ve stuck by them through thick and thin when we sucked with kordell. I’m not supporting this organization anymore. AB didn’t abuse women and dr with the patriots, he did it under tomlins watch and Rooney hid it. There was always one thing I could throw in any patriots fake ass fans face was that we had a classy organization that did things right. Guess what, I was wrong, we are as bad as them. At least when there TE murdered people they released him.

    Yeah that wouldn't work for me because the amount of money I give to the Steelers and the NFL in general is a grand total of zero, so not giving them that zero will make zero difference to how the team or the NFL operates.

    You guys hate Tomlin because you are comparing him to Belichick who gets to play under a different set of rules. It's not fair.

    But you tune in every Sunday and that's all Goodell cares about. The billions of dollars they make is in their TV deals not you buying Steelers merch or attending games. If every Steelers fan and bar didn't watch playoffs/Super Bowl our presence could be felt. You ever look at market breakdowns for games? Pittsburgh is always top 3. That doesn't include the millions of transplants. Saints fans had 1 bad call against them that we have seen 3-4 times in the last year. One of them against the Saints. They boycotted the Super Bowl and made their presence felt. Not to mention a lot of people outside of Steelers fans are getting fed up with the Patriots as well. Huge boycott could take place. But people like Glemm are too cool for it and rather be a sheep and keep taking this bull**** from Goodell and the league.

    First things first: peer pressure doesn’t work on me.
    If I get tired of the NFL I’ll quit watching. I’m not tired.

    If you want to do a half ass sissy boycott and just pick and choose then go for it.
    If you wanna man up and do it right turn off the NFL completely.

    NFL makes money off of viewership and ratings so if you watch Steelers games only they’re still getting your money subconsciously. At least you understand that. Some people like to make themselves feel all warm and fuzzy by saying they don’t spend money on buying merchandise.
    Fact is if you watch games the NFL wins.
    And guess what the Steelers are part of the NFL. This notion that Goodell is against the Steelers is ridiculous. The owners decide who the commissioner is. Some of you act like this guy is appointed by some outside evil force.
    If the owners don’t like the job he’s doing they would can his ass.

    Heck sometimes I barely watch any games other than the Steelers. It’s not be design it just works out that way. Sometimes I watch a lot of other games.

    In a nutshell: either stop supporting everything NFL or shut the **** up about it.

    I remember the 49ers playing that game many years ago to get the first pick in the draft . Whatever they did to intentionally lose. Seems like the Cots did it when they lost Manning, but the 49ers seemed to do it blatantly.

    A forum is a place to post your opinions. I'll continue to post here and anywhere I want. Maybe you have a comprehension issue, steelersfan forum is not the nfl or the steelers. I support this forum because I am from pittsburgh and a life long fan. Whats your point, you have none.
