    NFL Bans Made Up Thing Called Hip Drop Tackle

    I think it's more the swinging the body across the legs, right? Idk, but your instincts are probably right. The NFL will somehow make this impossible to interpret.

    NFL Bans Made Up Thing Called Hip Drop Tackle

    Right. And I don't think it will be too hard to enforce. A player is grabbed from behind and the defender swings his body over the guys legs. The hip drops I have seen are pretty obvious. Where the NFL is stupid is because of "safety" they do not tackle properly...they limit the practice...

    Madden kept writing that Pickett refused to dress for the Seattle game. Another source (DK) say that is not true. Idk who is right. Therefore, I don't take a position on it, because I have no damn idea, and it doesn't matter that much now anyway. This is the problem when people WANT the...

    If marching in lockstep means not buying into speculative bullshiit, well then, I guess that's me! Who knew?

    Heh...I see it now. What a dope I am.

    You find him refreshing because you agree with him. It has nothing to do with "facts." I had to laugh at Madden because all during the season he is spouting off on how the Steelers can't win as a running team anymore, the NFL has changed, you need to be able to score in bunches and blah, blah...

    It is not rationalization, it's reality. You seem at times to have a very sophomoric view of things. I would like to know what team, across any sports league, is honest and open with the media? Could the media ask tougher questions? I guess, but to what end? I don't see that it would change...

    You have? Was there any proof to your assertions, or was it more speculative nonsense? The job of the reporters on the Steelers is...to report on the Steelers. Not to express the frustrations of the fanbase. Look, there have been times I wish the reporters would ask more provocative...

    I got you? I don't know what that means. I'm not trying to get anybody. I just don't agree with your conclusions in this particular case.

    A few years ago I was talking to an ex-Marine who in his last few years in the Corps was running ROTC programs in colleges. Anyway, one of his officers in training went down to the shore for a few days. He got drunk with some buddies and they piled up beach furniture and made a bonfire out of...

    I like Kenny Pickett and would have liked to see things work out in Pittsburgh. I was pulling for him. But the truth is he didn't play well enough to have any type of promises from the organization.

    We all work for a living. Would any of us say that our employers are always honest with us? What makes NFL players so special they expect honesty all the time? And anyway, is it the organization being dishonest or is it situations changing? For example, the way LeVeon Bell was playing in...

    Perhaps. I don't disagree with you there. My question more is can it be dealt with successfully? Only gonna get worse with NIL.

    It just makes no sense. What, are the Steelers sending guys out to break the thumbs of reporters who ask tough questions?

    Is it intimidation or the realization that if you act like a jackass, like Madden, you'll get nothing?

    Intimidated how? You have made the assertion...explain more fully how and with proof they are intimidated.

    I don't understand something. People whine and moan about the Steelers organization with the accusation that they don't give a damn what the fans think. At the same time, all they do is run around trying to save face. Wouldn't that indicate the Steelers DO care what the fans think? Which one...

    Are Steeler fans, on average, more knowledgeable than other fan bases' fans?

    I think being a true fan is almost a contradiction in a way. A fan has to be passionate about the team, but I would argue to be knowledgable you have to remove some emotion. Those two ideas run counter to one another.

    I got to ask: What has changed?

    I believe it might be to some degree, because as you said, they will have to extend at least one of them if they play well. So there goes some cap freedom of not having a big QB salary. Ultimately, outside of Queen, there hasn't been a big money signing. It's just all this movement that seems...

    I got to ask: What has changed?

    I don't think what fans say or chant anywhere makes a difference. If so, Tomlin woulda been gone by at least 2013, at least judging by the forum here.
