After watching the Clowns introductory Press Conference & seeing DeShaun Watsons head, & hearing all the dispicable allegations by so many women, there is only one nickname that fits....

Penis Head....

All in favor say Aye...Tell a friend & spread the word...
 
After years of getting **** for Ben’s transgressions, I’m gonna join in since it’s the brahns…..so everyone, don’t forget:

22 = 4 😈😈😈

How much it's changed...no doubt. Remember the Rooney's tried shopping Ben and NO team would take him. Now guys like that get 230 million dollars. What a world.

Pretty sure that was debunked… at the time everyone except rappaport said it was BS, and recently singaltary claimed to have axed a deal, but that was a deal they were going to offer the Steelers, not a finalized deal…

I think you are right.

The only thing Rooney did was gaurantee a suspension if not by the commissioner then by the STEELERSS. If he was shopping BEN I think Ben would have been gone.!



Salute the nation

Was it, though?
I think it’s maybe, MAYBE, convenient revisionist history via homers.
I think at the time Ben still had a bit of a reputation/image that slanted negatively.
Now, I don’t think Rooneys made 31 phone calls begging owners/GMs to take Ben off their hands.
But I think the team’s pressers and statements about Ben around this time were giving CLEAR signals to other teams that “business was open” for Ben, where they wouldn’t have even considered it before. But the Rooneys weren’t going to give him away, either. They’d want fair compensation.
We’ll never know for 100% certainty.
Sports corruptions and coverups and speculation and rumors is part of what keeps the big GREEN wheel spinning.
 
I think it’s funny he regulates all the allegations and how great of a person he is and was but right after says he has no “regrets”. Regrets from what? I thought he was innocent?
 
Guy is a piece of **** which is odd because all the pre draft talk was what a great person he was and he was the safe choice character wise.if Ben got 6 games , later reduced, this asshat should get an entire season.

Fortunately a tiger does not change it's stripes and he will again do something that requires time off.
 
what's pretty mind-boggling is who WASN'T at that press conference: the Haslams. ownership had to have signed off on making this move (obviously), and they don't have the guts to be there at the podium with watson? how pathetic.
 
Just another poster child of the NFL today, Haslams says it was not up to him, but management made this call. Total disregard for al fans of Cleveland and especially the women
 
Totally unrelated but it still pisses me of the we signed Dog Killer Vick. He should never have been allowed back in the NFL

All i know is both rooneys, colbert, ben, and his agent all denied it vehemently…. That is on record… and after the 49’r story it was denied again…

If tgere is one thing I've learned from decades of following hockey, its that most trade rumors are bunk driven by media outlets… there are a handful of credible sources for each team, and rappaport isn’t one of them

Exactly. And of course revisionist history by all involved will say that they never intended to trade him. At the time though regardless if Ben did anything or not no team would take him. The Rooneys were unsure of how his future behavior would turn out so I'm sure they would have traded if possible.

All I'm saying is back then no one would touch a guy like that just based on the baggage and possible future baggage...now teams don't even hesitate.

In the Steelers history since colbert got here, when they decided to move someone they were 100% gone even if it meant taking far less than value or even cutting them… i think if there were any truth to the rumors he would have been gone for certain… i also know from following hockey that reporters often confuse “getting offers for” with “shopping around “… like when LA made an offer on Malkin a decade ago and it was immediately reported the pens we’re looking to trade him… after the fact it was revealed that la made an offer and the pens told them he wasn’t available, and they later tried again with a better offer only to be rebuffed again… but to this day people think the pens shopped him around

I don't think they were going to cut Ben and lose a bunch of money. Now they may have just put the trade rumor out to pull a "scared straight" on Ben, but who knows.

And sure, they are strict when it comes to a Cedric Wilson, but I'm sure the franchise QB gets a little more slack.

You know as a dude who has vigorously researched all the rumors and incidents of Pittsburgh sports people let me say that people throwing out the cedric wilson thing like it was supposed to show some sort of hypocrisy are totally clueless about these incidents… unlike the Davenport, Roethlisberger or even Harrison events, Wilson was way beyond each both in violence and brutality and facts and witnesses…

The Davenport incident happened during a custody battle with his ex and there was a large question whether it was real or a common ploy used to exploit custody law in ohio for women who clearly aren’t going to win.

The Harrison incident he admitted to. He slapped his girlfriend once over a dispute of whether or not to baptize their child. Im not going to excuse or minimalize it, but they took his apology as sincere and his excuse that she was starting violent behavior and it was a singular reactionary mistake he regretted as real and gave him a second chance..
No man, especially a linebacker should be slapping a woman, but honestly compared to Cedric Wilson it was hardly a blip..

Wilson, if you don’t know, walked into a bar and saw an ex that had said some hurtful things about him after their breakup sitting on a barstool… he walked up behind her and pulled her backwards off tge stool by her hair and kicked the **** out of her.

An unprovoked vicious attack worse than even ray rice.

People totally ignore that the WR who replaced wilson, Santonio Holmes, was a burgeoning star coming off a super bowl winning catch and then the best season of his career, was traded for pennies on the dollar for a couple conduct issues that in total were lesser than the Cedric Wilson event, but showed a significant bad trend of character…

The Steelers give their own players reasonable chances to atone for issues, but not repetitive ones or extreme ones that are proven…
 
Holmes was traded because of pot and dick pics.

Specifically, tweeting “time to wake and bake”…after having been arrested for buying weed previously and had been notified he was facing a suspension for failing a drug test. I also recall him being accused of hitting a girl in the head with a shot glass in a bar, IIRC.
