If I was Tomlin I would have told him right then and there to find your own way home and that your stuff will be waiting outside the Steelers practice facility tomorrow.
If ALL this is true ( and I'm not doubting anything), I just find it hard to believe the Steeler's would take him to be a player. It's just not in their player image they always stand/strive for. They've let go proven player's, i.e. Holmes who didn't have that long of a rap sheet. I can not believe the Rooney's would sign on the dotted line of a thug. Makes me wonder if Blount didn't set Bell up with the hooch to get him taken down and out of the picture, knowing Bell was big competition. And as far as the bus situation, Tomlin and the staff have to act immediately, and hard on this. Put the word and fear of God in the other player's that this will NOT be tolerated....no matter who you are or think you are ! If Bell would have went down would they have stopped the game so someone could go to the bus and beg his prissy ass to please come in and get dressed ? Yea, I think not. I guess D.Archer would have had to step up, not saying that that would have been good for us, but then again you don't know that given the chance he would have out performed his potential either. But, at least Archer was available to help the team. I think this situation is going to show us all, and the media, what type of coach Tomlin is as far as being a disciplinarian. I hate to see Blount dumped, a good 1/2 punch with Bell, but I believe everyone can be replaced in the sports field given the chance, and it is FACT that having a bad apple in the carton will eventually ROT the remaining.
