See this is EXACTLY why you don't give a crap ton of guranteed money to a player who's both prone to injury and has had multiple suspensions. Yes the player can take his money and run, while the team gets hit with a ton of dead money, hamstringing their chances of winning a championship.
In the end, I cheer for the Steelers and not Le'Veon Bell the player. No one player is bigger than the team.
If he's so worried about getting hurt, he needs to retire.
1. Graham Barton, C, Duke 2. Ricky Pearsall, WR, Florida 3. Maason Smith, DT, LSU 3. Max Melton, CB, Rutgers 4. Blake Fisher, OT, Notre Dame 6. Tommy Eichenberg, ILB, Ohio State 6. MJ Devonshire, CB, Pittsburgh
He plans to collect money for nothing, having pissed everyone off and being unprepared, and looking out of shape for good measure. Just jump right in and wing it against people who have been going full-speed for two months, that's his plan? Good luck - GREAT luck with that.
Hopefully we manage to find somewhere to send him, and save ourselves the $8 million or so he's going to cost us for sitting on his ass otherwise.
See you Space Cowboy ...
You mean the fat guyon the jet ski?
Great so when the team finally knocks the rust off and is playing well and making a push for the post season, fat ass thinks he's going to jump right in and half ass his way through the season? Get fucked LvB
I agree. IMO, he's used up ALL of my goodwill and then some, so I really don't care about L. Bell the football player. However, there's no reason to think he won't come in, in shape and try to make a statement. All we have is one picture of him in a life-vest. Put that against years of him being in top shape—even last year when he held out—and the needle has to point to him coming in, in shape and ready to go. That said, I also acknowledge a different between being in shape for football, and actually being football ready. The latter only comes when practicing and playing with the team and going in pads. So, that part he'll definitely be lacking.
Might I be wrong? Sure. I'm married. I'm wrong every day. But history shows Bell always gives his all when on the field, and comes to the field ready to play.
