they instituted the rookie salary cap without removing the franchise tag

About $10 million of that $70 million was guaranteed. So it was a bullshit contract. The Steelers are assholes.

At the very least, get rid of the franchise tag. Whatever original intent there was to allow teams to negotiate longer-term contracts is not the spirit in which it’s being exercised today.

There was a survey I read about, long ago and I failed finding it last time I referenced it so not even bothering this time, that showed people would rather make $75k to their neighbors’ $50k than $125k while their neighbors made $150k.

It’s a fallacy to believe the vandals didn’t throw the town a publicity bone by dicking up the bike thingy, hopefully the members of the group that pieced it together won’t be dicks about it, if the nobs responsible are caught they shouldn’t get the shaft, they should be pardoned with a full release.

I really enjoy the term “bellend” and wish it would catch on in America. 

Not the first time someone fucked up at the US Open.

I remember that day Lakers gave Luol and Timofey a combined 140 million dollars

So you can trade them for more draft picks, apparently.

I bet Gruden decided that Macks insistence that he be paid made him a spoiled prima donna and told the front office that they should trade him, even if they found a way to afford Macks salary because Gruden has no time for spoiled glory boys like Mack. He’ll take 100 losers willing to play for peanuts over any highly p…

Fixed this for you:
