Also read that a woman was punched in the melee, but thats uncomfirmed
I am frequently in Bars at 4:30 in the morning. I haven't been in a bar fight or any sort of altercation since I broke one up when I was 23 and got punched in the face... that was at 7 or 8 in the evening down the south side about a decade and a half ago... ******** will be ******** regardless of time or place, and there are always people looking to exploit famous rich people... saying they shouldn't be out is just a lame way to blame them for something that it sounds like wasn't even their fault.
It is different in Miami, every state makes their own laws about what time a bar must close, etc.When I used to go out last call was at 1am or 1:30 and most clubs closed at 2am. Maybe different down in Miami though. I am not saying athletes should not go out, but if trouble seems to follow you then maybe you should either go somewhere different or have private parties.
Bobby Layne must be spinning in his grave at this thread.
I think it was a mistake to give him the contract now.
There really wasn't any logical reason to do it. They didn't save money. They still had all the chips to "keep him" with the franchise tag next year. They get a whole YEAR of information on this guy's play ability after injury and another year to see if he can continue to stay out of trouble (something he's come very close to getting into a number of times).
If this is the example of the new "Steelers Way" Tombert wants to promote, so be it. I'm just not sure I think we are going to be winners heading down this path.
The truth is since they ****** up with Worilds with the transition tag and giving him more value then they were willing to pay, next year we might have been on the hook having to use a tag on Worilds (franchise), Pouncey (transition tag, like Alex Mack got) and Heyward (defacto "5th-year" option tag at the average of 3rd - 25th highest paid D-linemen).
That's a lot of 1-year deals to sit on come March 1st. Of course, all it takes is a new deal for Ben Roethlisberger and another big increase in the cap number and maybe carry over $5 million in cap room from this year to next for you to have the room to do exactly that.
Maybe they felt the path they took with Worilds and the resultant failure to ink a long term deal with him forced their hand with Pouncey to get at least one under contract long-term. If that's the case, the Worilds tag is more a ****-up than meets the eye.

Oh man...hate it when I get the spins.

The Pouncey twins are the subject of an assault allegation stemming from their birthday party Friday in Miami Beach.
Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey, fresh off a six-year contract extension, is being accused of assault stemming from an incident at a Miami Beach night club Friday evening, reports the Broward Palm Beach Post.
Maurkice Pouncey and his twin brother and Dolphins center Mike Pouncey, were said to have been celebrating their birthday party at Cameo - the same night club at which the pair wore their infamous "Free Hernandez" gear - a tribute to incarcerated former teammate at the University of Florida Aaron Hernandez, who's standing trial for multiple murders.
A man says that Dolphins center Mike Pouncey and his brother Maurkice assaulted him at Cameo Nightclub in Miami Beach last night, where the often-troubled Dolphins center and his twin behemoth brother were holding their annual birthday bash.
Putting on our reasonable hats (hat pun intended), it's not commonly the case an innocent bystander gets "jumped by four bouncers," let alone a pair of NFL players. That amount of people seems sufficient to move just about anyone from Point A to Point B. What exactly happened to necessitate that level of involvement is the better question.
The victim explains some of it in a video he posted on Instagram. Here's a transcript unedited (language warning): "I didn't know that stuff like this actually ******* happens to people. All I can remember is standing in a crowded club and this big guy keeps hitting me in my back, I look at him and I'm like, OK, he's obviously turned up. And he just keeps hitting me. I ignore it. I keep ignoring the guy -- he's calling me a ******. I realize that there's two of the guys. Now they're both in my face. The next thing I know, Honey tries to break it up. One of them punches Honey in the face, the other one punches me or the same one, I don't know. Security comes."
Thug eh? Has he been arrested for something that I didn't hear about? Or did his prior actions just put you off? Btw, it looks like that "thug" isn't mentioned in the police incident report that was released this morning, so it appears (barring results of further investigation) that your clause wouldn't even be activated by a case that so far has been built on accusation, speculation and in the media (Ben says "Hi" btw).

Dude- you have people in this thread appalled that the guy was out at 4am on his birthday.. In the Offseason.
Then calling him a thug b/c some bouncers roughed up a guy?? Pissed because we extended him? But then are clamoring to extend Big Ben, whose past transgressions are much worse??
Needless to say, there certainly appears to be a dearth of logic and reason in the last 3 pages lol
****, I kinda almost pity them. Seems to me that there are a lot of people who never got out much in their twenties. Never had a drink at a bar. Never closed down a bar. Didn't party. Only focused on work, etc. I remember my twenties (been awhile) and I can remember many times not settling in to bed until the birds started chirping in the morning. Now, if I had been rich? Oooh boy, it might have been worse. Although I kinda think that maybe the parties would have been at my house rather than a bar (keep the "socialites" out that way).
In any event, I'm gonna wait to see if any "REAL" evidence is made connecting Maurkice to this "ALLEGED" incident before finding him guilty in the court of public opinion.
I'll reserve my judgment as well. The story seems very "shaky" at best right now. Perhaps the victim has video to prove he was accosted by two NFL centers and four bouncers???furthermore-
if 2 300 lb NFL lineman jump you along with some big *** bouncers your *** would airlifted to to the hospital- not crying to Instagram.
Welcome back angry man...I'm so glad this ******* got an extension from the Steelers. Hasn't played worth a **** since he was a rookie, was easily replaced with a guy sitting on his couch, and hangs out with scum bags.
