I don't know who that is but I love carbs, they fill me up like nothing else does.

Impending free agent Le'Veon Bell reportedly missed almost all of the Steelers' final walkthrough the day before last week's Divisional Round loss to the Jaguars.

Additionally, coach Mike Tomlin has told players and coaches to arrive two hours before kickoff for games. Bell (and reportedly one coach) arrived to last Sunday's playoff loss "much later than that," even after skipping all but the final five minutes of Saturday's walkthrough. Bell is headed for intense contract negotiations, of course, and the Steelers have leaked negative info about players in similar situations before, most notably Antonio Brown. Whether it be from the Steelers or another team, Bell is going to get paid this offseason.

Especially the liquid variety.

The problem with bell is that he doesn’t care. Brown cared if Steelers fans hated him. Bell will sit out until the last possible week collect 7 million and miss half the year and be a free agent next year.

Pitt should have suspended him. Tomlin isn't tough though.

No point he wants to leave so let him leave.

Nah, he shouldn't be rewarded/getting what he wants so easily. Suspend him a game or two, and he might start caring.

Doesn’t matter suspend him for games that he is already paid for or when he skips all offseason and misses the first 7 games and you still owe him 7 million. He gonna be just fine. He pretty much owns the Steelers right now.

I have this still about half full in my fridge. Brought me luck last week, hoping for some more good luck this week.

Lol! That’s me right now. Had to polish off the bottle of Ketal One, so made a few rounds of Cosmos for the wife and I. Will pick up another bottle tomorrow.
Hey win or lose, I’m having fun!

I know, but to NOT play a playoff game speaks larger. He wasn't deserving of it.

He skipped a walkthrough and he’s to good to hold out. I mean he is pissed he played on the franchise tag he wants 15 million pay the man or let him go. I can understand 1 franchise and eventually working out a contract but 2 and know they still ain’t gonna pay you it’s bullshit.

Kirk Cousins disagrees. Granted QB salaries skyrocket much faster than RB, but he’s played the franchise game to perfection.
As long as he doesn’t get hurt, he will make bank. Maybe Dallas inks Zeke a year early. That would Move him right to the top and Bell can use that contract as leverage for more.

That's what it's all about. Having fun and knowing the Cowboys are watching from their couches. Should be a great game tomorrow. I raise my glass. Cheers. *clink*

Quarterbacks have a lot longer shelf life. Not a fair comparison a running back can fall off quickly.

Never said they didn’t. Never said it was. Just said that Cousins hasn’t gotten hurt and he’s made bank. Bell could play the tag game and make very good money as long as he doesn’t get hurt.

But cousins will get paid well into his 30s as soon a running back turns 30 the deals get lower and lower. Not to mention a QB gets hit a total of 60ish times in a season while running backs get hit about 200 times.
