Wow she's a real crowd pleaser. More accurate than Mariota
No promises on football or America. Trumps running shit now. Best to just move on to something more reliable. And speaking of something more reliable...
I can vouch for the Switch. It can and will save your wretched souls!

If he's going to defend Trump then he can screw off.
He has small ass hands, why else would he deflate balls?

There has to be something above Trump though! You can't be saying what I think you are saying!
OJ would be perfect on the bills

Yeah such a shitty thing for anyone to do. No way does he really want to retire. Guys should just negotiate with teams behind the scenes, not through the media.

Lol Big Ben retiring ? That's random af, his receivers were pretty shook that game, had they caught the ball it'd be closer

Ben would have to pay back like 18 million if he retires. Doubt it happens this year.
Eh I can't hate him for it. We spend so much time in here ridiculing the NFL for player safety, talking about how these people are basically destroying their lives down the line by risking their health. I can't hate anyone that does whatever they can to get as much money out of the league as possible given those circumstances. What if he was trying to do this behind the scenes and the Steelers just said no? Now obviously Ben had more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes by 25, but I'm not going to hate a player doing what they need to to get more money, even if it involves the media.

JoyConBro's keep an eye out on this page. You know, when you need a break from the JoyCon's, but still want to Switch it up.
And then he comes back and sues them to oblivion for untreated concussions.

Long term deals in the past had years on the back end with so much money that no one ever figured the teams would pay them. It was meant to force the team to re-negotiate and make the agent look good. But the cap has gone up so much that those back end numbers are now under market rate and the players want pay raises
Like Stafford was making $15-$17 million in 2013-15, and 2016 and 2017 $22m. When they drew that contract up no one thought he would still be paying under that contract. But now DET can let him play out the deal in 2017 and then franchise tag him if they so desire. He doesn't have the leverage of the huge back end of the contract to use against the team

I'll add that I think Ben saying that has less to do with him caring about how he is taken care of and more to do with him wanting stability in his receiving group and concern that FA acquired improvements in defense could hurt that.
He came off a record year previously and this year it was the Bell show; due to Bell being awesome as much as the need to clock manage because the D was not something you can count on and our receivers were dropping like flies.

Ben makes $12m the next three years. In 2018 and 2019 he has additional roster bonuses of $5m each year. But next next year it is just the $12m while guys doing deals this year make twice that. His threat is he would rather retire than be insulted by Kurt Cousins making twice what he does

I was looking back at last offseason thread leading up to the draft.
I miss Godslay. On Wentz being drafted by the Rams and potentially starting.

No way the Steelers can replace his playoff production of 6 tds and 7 int his last 7 games. You don't move him unless you can get someone like Brock to replace him.
