No Kap: They don't want you
Before I even dive into the issue at hand concerning Kaepernick, I just want to say that I personally didn’t think anything would come from this scheduled workout to begin with. Reason being, I couldn’t fathom the NFL letting Kapernick come back, after they had given him settlement money following his collusion grievance claim. To put it in perspective, you and your employer are battling an ongoing drawn out issue at work and with there being no middle ground met, you take it

Mike Tomlin: Auditioning for Coach of the Year amid potential disaster
Disgruntled players, contract disputes and lack of offensive star power are all components which have played a part against an often scrutinized Steelers team either this season or last season. Just or the simple fact that Tomlin has never had a losing season speaks volumes, the fact that he’s on pace to continue his streak with his backup quarterback and offensive weapons not named Antonio Brown or LeVeon bell and his franchise quarterback is a testimony. A testimony in whic

Life can be A B sometimes
Dating back to March, the entire Antonio Brown saga from the time he got traded, has felt like the rebel child running away from a well ran, two parent household in hopes of finding a better support foundation from a system that may not be all as advertised. Following Brown’s absence in week 17, the Steelers would go on to miss the playoffs, giving the disgruntled wide receiver nothing but time and opportunity to publicly air out his frustrations towards the Steelers organiza

Headlined hype
If there’s one thing we learned from the Steelers and their 2018 – ’19 season, it’s being the noisiest and most monitored team in the media, doesn’t put your team in position to win the season. In fact, it raises attention to the exact opposite, leaving people on the outside looking in to wonder, can they win the season? In a season that’s expecting two of the three first round quarterbacks to flourish, it has been the Cleveland Browns second year quarterback, Baker Mayfield

Panic in Pittsburgh?
I have always said that if the Steelers (or any other team) go 3-1 for each quarter of the season at worst, the season should be viewed as a positive one. No matter how the wins play out, nobody in their right mind would stress over going 12-4 unless the four losses came consecutively. The Pittsburgh Steelers are now 0-1-1. How ugly is that to look at? Tying the “rejuvenated” Cleveland Browns to open up the season and getting lit up by Chiefs young emerging pocket passer Patr

Big Ben, been here before
Coaches have to do it, players hate to see it happen. Whether in pro sports or the working world, nobody likes to see their said to be successor and replacement walk into the building. What might be more dissatisfying is having to train or in this case coach up, your replacement. What would’ve been the biggest news out of Pittsburgh following the 2018 NFL draft, the Martavis Bryant trade to Oakland has since been overshadowed by the drafting of Oklahoma State quarterback, Mas

Sheeesh!
Imagine being a conference defensive player of the year, All-Conference All-American, Peach Bowl defensive MVP, helping your team to an undefeated season, yet not being an original invite to the NFL combine. Imagine entering the weekend’s combine (to which I find to be slightly degrading), headlined with players named Saquon Barkley, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, and Bradley Chubb amongst others, but single handedly (literally) stealing the show. As I stated, I personally don’

Big bucks for Bortles
Once, the only player who stood between the Jags and the 2017 Lombardi Trophy, is now the guy the front office is locking in for their future in hopes of taking the team to the next level. Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles, has just signed a 3-year, $54 million extension with $26.5 million of that being guaranteed money. Seems a bit pricy given his resume, but if they feel like that’s their best option moving forward with free agency and the draft all around the

Pay the man
Still deciding what to do with Le’Veon Bell and his contract…or lack thereof, just might be the biggest and most crucial decision of the past decade for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The concerns surrounding the ongoing Le’Veon Bell contract saga, draw people to question whether or not the Steelers franchise can trust him, having been suspended twice under the NFL’s substance abuse policy. Another question people often throw out is whether or not he still has “the juice,” in which

My love for sports is in the air
With it only being 14 days into February, not only is it the day to show love to your significant other, but a day for me to share what I have fell in love with in sports thus far this month. Underdogs to top dogs: The Philadelphia Eagles did exactly what nobody outside of the state of Pennsylvania thought would do. Former backup and resurgent quarterback Nick Foles and the “underdog” Eagles dethroned the Belichick and Brady led Super Bowl empire of a sixth Super Bowl victory
