Well if you said it then I believe it, after all you boldy predicted that the Steelers would upset the Eagles. Oh wait that didn't happen but you did say that starting with that Eagle game that the Steelers would win their last 4 games. Oh wait that isn't happening either. I guess maybe just maybe then it could be that you just don't know what the hell you are talking about.

No Pickens till playoffs.
Step into the real world and not a world tailored to you by sports journalists.

Pit beats Baltimore today, by the way.

At least you know we are going to laugh at you. You didn't school anyone in anything. That isn't even good fiction.

Most of us have seen how the Steelers operate for a very long time. There is no evidence of them doing something like you suggest in the past or in this instance. It is nothing more than an odd conspiracy theory.

Yes, Pickens was restrained at the end of the game in Cleveland. He was also shoved through the end zone by one of the Browns, so that incident wasn't even entirely his fault. He has one worse and continued to play.

The only thing sillier than your claim that they would sit him for five games and likely give away the division title was your argument that the media would know about the lie and support it just to defer to the Steelers. The media is not some monolithic group of people that all act the same way. Most, if not all, wouldn't give a damn what story the Steelers wanted them to tell.

You also seemed to attach a claim that the Steelers would beat the Eagles to your conspiracy theory, so you already got that part wrong, too.

You place far too much trust in the media, Formerscribe, which is amusing considering it’s just people profiting off discussing grown men playing a game. Do you honestly believe that the principles of journalistic integrity—abandoned long ago in the realm of politics—somehow persist in the world of sports journalism? At least those folks are paid to do their job, however you’re not. How much do you have Pittsburgh losing by this week?

Just like we beat the Eagles last week.

Gotta' figure out a way to get the ball to Calvin Austin in space. Maybe something like an 8 - 10 yard underneath clearout.

The Steelers announced today that they are optimistic that Pickens can play against the Chiefs on Christmas. So it looks like a pretty good bet that he will play against the Bengals in week #18.

These receivers better start doing their job or find a different career. It’s unbelievable the drop off from #1 receiver to the rest of them. We also need to get our TE’s involved more also. I guarantee Andrew’s will be open over the middle. We need to do the same thing. Go Steelers!

Good to see him hopping around pregame.

Don’t know why he’s out still.
Thought it was little problem.

i know a lot more about sports journalism than you do. I still know quite a few people in the media. There is no way they all went along with a lie just to defer to the Steelers. You may not take the profession seriously, but most of them do.

Also, I do get paid for my job. My job just isn’t sports journalism any longer.

You're not really good at this football stuff are you? Maybe wait until next summer and try picking WNBA games instead.
