#84 Not Shy On Social Media

AB is getting a bit weird on social media these days. Not sure if his account was hacked but he had pretty odd post on Instagram about his baby mama. Very bizarre.
 
"Well are you going to stand there and whistle Dixie or pull this pistols "




One of the mothers of his children.......... HOW MANY baby moma's has he got???????? Any problem with this picture,... I understand mistakes can happen and I've read where AB does try to stay in his kid's lives but sooner or later you'd learn to wear a glove and NOT one just for catching footballs......................




Salute the nation
 
Social media is the debil. The more I look at it,the less social I feel. I've never downloaded Twitter thank god. I'd probably give up all sports and just read books in my spare time...now that I think of it...
 
Ben says he was surprised by the 3rd round QB and he's a drama King, cry baby, talks to much, insecure blah, blah, blah and that post goes what 11 pages, this gets what 12 replies.

"There was another Instagram post — a PSA he called it — directed toward one of the mothers of his children. "

"One of the mothers of his children ..."

There's your problem right there.

If you're rich, you can have 5 kids by 3 different mothers and it's not really a big deal.

Pure interest level.

AB's rants are nothing new, much like Bell's tweets. You see them and immediately think AB gone AB or Bell gone Bell. As their typical crap.

Now BIg Ben doesn't talk as much as the other two but when he does people usually pay attention. One as we know his time is now shorter by his own admission. And two the Steelers surprised him with what could be his future replacement.

It is like porn. Most are skipping the female self masturbation's and going to the straight one on one down and dirty, let's get it on!
 
How can a guy who makes 17 million per year still hold a grudge??

Most top WR's are divas.

Diva's can hold grudges.

If AB doesn't; get the ball enough, he'll do his thing.

Tomlin lacks control over Diva's. Some other coaches handle them better.

Yeah Tomlin lacks control over AB. What should he do Coach bench him in games? The playoffs?

Fact is....(and you love your facts), you have not one clue as to what goes on inside the HC or GM office. He probably fined AB for the Facebook stunt as it broke the NFL’s social media rules.

Some coaches have better controls over players than other when it comes to acting and behaving like a professional.* Based on what I have seen from Tomlin over this years, this is not one of his forte's.

Well did he or not, and way to go way out there on a limb.

Chuck Noll had no problems fining Bradshaw for being late to a meeting and he made it public to the team.

Chuck Noll had no problems fining Bradshaw for being late to a meeting and he made it public to the team.

There is a disagreement within the Pittsburgh training compound on the question of what kind of coach Tomlin is—a disagreement between the executive suites and the locker room. “I don’t agree with the outside assessment that he’s a players’ coach,” Colbert says. “The perception of a players’ coach is that a player can treat the coach as a friend. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Coach Tomlin will make no bones about challenging a player or getting after a player or disciplining a player when it has to happen.”

But then, the assessment that Tomlin is a players’ coach is not necessarily an outside one. It’s just that the phrase has a different currency in the locker room than it does in the offices upstairs. In the locker room, Tomlin is considered a players’ coach by one player after another not because he’s easygoing but rather because he’s honest. Indeed, what’s startling about talking to the men who play for the Steelers is the unanimity of opinion about the man who is their coach. Listen to cornerback Joe Haden and you’ve essentially listened to them all, right down to the vocabulary:

“The thing about Coach T is that he’s very, very black-and-white. He’s very, very straightforward. He lets you know exactly where you stand. And he lets you know where you stand in front of your peers if you’re not holding down what you’re supposed to be holding down. If I’m doing it, I’m gold. If I’m not, I either got to pick my stuff up or Coach T is going to tell me he’s going shopping.”

“There are no surprises and no excuses,” says running back Le’Veon Bell. “If there are two guys battling for one helmet, Coach T will let everybody know. ‘Hey y’all, these are two guys battling for one helmet. I’m going to watch them in practice today. I’m going to watch them in practice all week, and we’re going to see who gets this helmet.’ And everybody knows.

So are you implying Belichick has the same if not worse control, based “on what you’ve seen”? Tommy’s outbursts to players in the sideline, not to mention his aggressive outburst to McDaniels (a friggin coach) on live TV would constitute what kind of control is given from your penultimate coach example.

I went on a limb? By showcasing factually YOU HAVE no idea if AB was disciplined internally?

You tell us idiot, Did the HC/GM fine AB? You made the assertion he wasn’t.

Chuck coached in a different era dork. There was no free agency, players had no control of where they played unless they were picked up undrafted. The economics was entirely different too. Fines were a motivating tool, rather than discipline directed.

Yes, Ike.

According to the local radio host on the Dolphins who knows about 40 current NFL players from various teams, Billy boy is the coach least want to play for. The reason given, he runs a tight ship.

So now you know Ike. The crap Bell and AB play on Tomlin would not happen in New England. You are a fool to think otherwise, or perhaps you know its true, but prefer to build the brown residue on your nose after kissing Tomlin's *** so often.

Even our own players say the Steelers lacked focus. That starts with the head coach, or as Tomlin likes to think of it, the leader of men.

He runs a tight ship, yet Tom's outbursts against other players and coaches on the sidelines (multiple times) get's absolutely no disciplinary action whatsoever? Seems he may run a tight ship, but only for certain players. If Ben was cussing out his OC on the sideline, would you feel it should be addressed by Tomlin and Ben be reprimanded for it?

BTW, the seemingly selective "tight ship" you speak of is not something I've ever seen Tomlin engage in. In other words, Tomlin doesn't seem to play with anybody differently, whoever it is.
