ESPN just interviewed Mark Cuban who, unprovoked, said that he'll work to get a program going for the team/arena's hourly workers to be compensated for lost wages. Hope the other pro teams follow his lead.
“Ya’ll making it seem like I’m fat as hell.”
Najee Harris just discussed all the talk about weight gain. Says that he played at 242 pounds last year.

If Trubisky stinks,
#Steelers
will be in position to draft a QB from a class that is going to be loaded with talent.
If he's good, they have their guy.
If he's somewhere in the middle, they'll have more resources to move up to get a QB next year.
It's a good move.
Myles Jack’s brief retirement:
- Call of Duty (both on PlayStation and XBox)
- playing 5 on 5 basketball at Life Time Fitness
- being a “pedestrian” and watching football
- hanging out at the bar 😂

The
#Steelers
have now played 36 games with Matt Canada as the team's offensive coordinator.
The offense has failed to produce over 20 points in regulation in 27 of those 36 games.
JuJu on why no grand entrance yesterday: "I don’t need all the paparazzi or the people taking pictures, saying ‘oh, JuJu came in this way, JuJu rode a bike, JuJu did that.’ No, JuJu came here to work. It’s not about me, it’s about the team.”

How about Aliquippa, man.
1A public school. Chose to play up in 3A because they were too good. Got forced to play in 4A. Just beat a private school with over double their enrollment to win the state title.
One of the most continually incredible high school stories in America.
Antonio Brown has joined the website Cameo and is asking for $500 per video he films for you.
Below is an example they're using.
#Steelers
"I hear it's your second anniversary.......wedding..." has me dying.
#Browns
, with everything to play for, beat a
#Steelers
team without it's future HOF QB, the league's likely defensive POTY, starting Pro Bowl center, starting Pro Bowl DE, a starting safety, starting CB, starting TE and its kicker.
By two points. At home.
Diontae Johnson on Pickett: "When he came in we were just more efficient. You could see the energy. He played with swag. That makes us want to play for him. We have to get him better, and prepare for next week."

Najee Harris on trying to be remembered like Franco Harris one day: "How many Super Bowls does he got?"
Answer: 4
Najee: "God damn, look at me. None. So let's focus on that."
#Steelers
@937theFan
This was best of Pickett. He's only
#Steelers
QB who makes this play.
Hangs in, gets wrecked, fires bullet, smiles like a sicko at the dude who hit him.
I asked Freiermuth about it: "He's a gamer. That's why they drafted him in the first round, to make those plays."
@937theFan
#Steelers
should hire Mike Kafka as their next OC.
Up-and-comer. 34 years old. Chiefs QB coach/pass game coordinator. Has worked closely with Reid, Bieniemy, Mahomes.
Make him a big offer to run the offense & start to turn your attention to acquiring a young QB he can develop.
Matt Canada has been the offensive coordinator of the
#Steelers
for 25 games. They have scored over 20 points in regulation just five times, all last season.
@937theFan
Kenny Pickett was asked about learning his teammate’s names. Cam Heyward made sure that KP knows his.
Feels like the Pickett/Heyward corner has some potential.
#Steelers
@937theFan
The trend continues.
In Matt Canada’s now 26 games as
#Steelers
OC, the offense has failed to score over 20 points in 21 of those games.
All five occurrences came last season.

Ramon Foster with a big knock on Bell: "My mom died, I went to the funeral and came to camp the next day... Al (Villanueva) has seen people die and has come and given his all to this team."
He adds, "It's a little bit tiresome now. I'm tired of the antics."

Jesse James: 10 catches, 97 yards, 1 touchdown and a $5.3 million cap hit.
Eric Ebron: 35 catches, 359 yards, 4 touchdowns and a $3.5 million cap hit.

Ohio: Pro Football HOF.
New York: Carrier Dome.
West Virginia: Wheeling Island Stadium
New Jersey: MetLife
Maryland: Navy
Pennsylvania: Cumberland Valley High School
The PIAA continues to rob kids of the experience they've earned.
Here is Thomas Davis, suspended two years ago for taking PEDs, questioning the integrity of another player. A player that, mind you, had reconstructive surgery on his throwing elbow and still hasn’t been cleared to throw a football.
What an absolute garbage take this is.
Roethlisberger dropping the “I’m pretty confident I could still play” line just days before training camp is the most predictable thing ever.
#Steelers
Kenny Pickett: "It's just unacceptable how we played last game. The standard has to be raised. We have to hold ourselves to a higher standard. And it really starts in practice. We need better practice habits that'll translate over to the game."
#Steelers
@937theFan
Kenny Pickett's second season has had:
- WR1 on IR, attitude issues
- WR2 going full diva
- WR3 & WR4 making little impact
- TE1 on IR
- TE2 making little impact
- OL as one of NFL's worst groups first 7 weeks
- Worst OC in NFL, who got fired
- Ankle injury, surgery
#Steelers
#Steelers
in two games with TJ Watt: 2-0, 9 sacks, 7 turnovers forced, 15 ppg allowed.
#Steelers
in 7 games without TJ Watt: 1-6, 6 sacks, 5 turnovers forced, 25.3 ppg allowed.

Antonio Brown posted a live video of police at his house, then called his own mother a homophobic slur on Twitter. Yet he wonders why he’s being kept out of the NFL.
Also, my goodness, how thankful must the
#Steelers
be that this isn’t their problem anymore?
If the Bears are indeed trading their original second round pick, the
#Steelers
are currently in line to have picks 4, 35 and 43 in the first two rounds of the 2023 NFL Draft.

#Steelers
have four offensive touchdowns in 3 games. The QB is on pace for the NFL's worst yards per attempt in a decade. If that doesn't warrant some sort of significant change, I'm not sure what will.
Pat Freiermuth on 'Muuuth' chants when Zach Gentry catches a pass.

AB is talking about accountability for Oakland's WR group and setting standards. Says players will be "fined" for... something.
He literally skipped OTAs, a week of training camp, meetings, multiple days of practice and left a game early last season.
Accountability.
A new development at
#Steelers
minicamp this week.
Devin Bush, in the early minutes of practice, going through pretty detailed footwork drills.
Najee Harris is helping him through it.
@937theFan
AB has:
• Threatened to assault media members
• Liked a tweet saying Mike Mayock should be raped
Been accused of:
• Throwing furniture from balcony, nearly killing a child
• Pushing mother of child to ground over a haircut
• Attempting to hit Mayock
• Sexual assault, rape
Devlin Hodges told me that he was on his way for a workout with the
#Jets
when the
#Steelers
called and offered him a spot on the practice squad. Said he turned his truck around and got ready to come back to Pittsburgh.
Pitt had a better NET, KenPom, BPI, overall strength of schedule and Quad 1 record than Virginia AND BEAT VIRGINIA BY DOUBLE DIGITS IN CHARLOTTESVILLE.
But Virginia is in, and Pitt is out.
Ridiculous.
Diontae Johnson: "I've come to the fact that I'm having a great year, to me. Obviously my stats aren't showing it, but (I'm) just trying to be a better leader, just not trying to play for self, trying to be a team player."

First 3 full games of action:
Peyton Manning: 683 yards, 2 TD, 8 INT
Kenny Pickett: 771 yards, 2 TD, 7 INT
Terry Bradshaw began his career with 3 TD, 18 INT.
Not saying Pickett is either of those guys or will be, but some things take time.

Mason Rudolph’s 2019:
Wins backup job
Becomes starter in week 3
Has old tweets dug up
Knocked out cold vs BAL
Comes back & wins 3 games
Fight in Cleveland
Called a racist
Replaced by Duck
Takes back over for Duck
Suffers season ending injury
Yikes.
That's the most points Colts have allowed to an offense last 6 weeks & 2nd most points allowed to an offense by Indy this year.
Pickett's offense put up more points against Indy than Hurts, Carr, M. Jones, Heinicke, Tannehill, R. Wilson, Mahomes and Mills.
#Steelers
@937theFan
This team was 6-3. Had teams ahead QB'd by:
Dorian Thompson-Robinson
Jake Browning
Kyler Murray
Bailey Zappe
Gardner Minshew
They won ONE of those games. Barely. No excuse.
#Steelers
Kenny Pickett on rookie George Pickens, who he says made an 'unbelievable' catch at practice this week: "He casually made the best catch I've ever seen... I've never seen a catch like that in my life... He does that routinely. He's a special player."

Mason Rudolph on

: "A good friend, a really good guy and I wish him the best moving forward... He came through and said goodbye to a bunch of coaches and players. That's the kind of guy he is, he's a first class dude."
