OK since I have been a tad ruthless in my posts I'll share a little about me since I'm new and you think I live in my parents basement. Lol I have been watching the Steelers for 50 years now (I'm 57). Never played organized football because it always interfered with my wrestling career but my pops played college ball and I had the genes and always wanted to play because my violent, aggressive and analytical nature really was suited for that sport. I LOVE football and spend entirely too much time on the God darn sport. I've dreamed of getting into coaching. Who knows maybe one day that window will.open up for me.ive read posts on here for decades and finally decided to start chiming in. Yes I can be a bit demeaning in my posts if I read something I think is stupid but I don't know everything and there is always someone smarter than me so I expect some blowback from time to.time. in the end regardless of what I say about any of you, we are all in this together and we all dream of a 7th and what a glorious day that will be. I was at the last one in Tampa and man I think the best part of that whole experience was afterwards......just mingling with Steeler faithful high on Lombardi outside the stadium......what a great thing.......can't wait for the next one. BTW im.just bored out of my mind right now so I've been posting a lot. Hope to make some friends and enemies here LMAO......frankly this board is at its best when we mirror the comradarie and competitiveness of what takes place on the field.

Welcome aboard, you'll fit right in.

We all have STEELERS in common but are in different stages of our journey.

One thing we all gotta grow up about is that they all play for whoever writes the cheque. And they all want as big a number as they can command.

Agreed.....crying about monies after signing on the dotted line the year before is a ***** move. And then again the following year. Maybe the NFL should just go to 1 year contracts.🤔
 
The only thing I can be truly guilty of is that my posts are long winded.......I'm not for everyone. People who are attracted to Shiney objects and can't focus or want cliff notes will hate me. Those who like getting into the weeds of things will appreciate my diatribes =)

I didn't like it either but if you signed a contract and played way above your contract and your agent was behind you asking for more, would you ask for more? I mean they can say no and you can either show up or not show up and not get paid. On the other hand you could get more. In the corporate world they rewrite contracts and comp all the time when employees outperform to keep.them.happy. In the corporate world and the NFL people get fired if they don't live up.to.their contract all the time. It rubbed me the wrong way too but that's only because im selfish for my team and want as much money as possible to.sign others but can you truly hold it against the man for asking?

Been preaching that for years, not the grow up part, but the money chasing part for sure.

Many here think it’s a travesty for TJ to not have won a playoff game.

The bigger travesty is the Steelers not winning a playoff game the entire time he has been here.

For TJ, he gets his money (which it has always been about to him) and us fans get no playoff wins.

How about when they under-perform or get injured and only play 5 Gagne’s for the season ?

Will the player “Give-Back” the appropriate amount of said contract ?
