@AdamSchefter: Packers and Steelers have expressed interest in former Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw.

Yes, please.

sanders signed tender with the pats...not sure how much...we get a chance to match. we had offered him 1.323 mill.

if we dont match we get their 3rd round pick. 91 overall. this hurts but their would be some good recievers at 91

Curious survey question for Steeler fans....if Pittsburgh were to trade Polamalu, taking into account his age, injury history, etc. what do you think they would net in return as far as a draft pick?

best case 3rd rounder

best case 6th rounder

but who would want him..especially for 10 mill. most likely they would just wait for us to cut hiim honestly...besides the injuries teams have been taking advantage of his gambling style the last couple years especially in key situations.
i would say this is the last hoorah for tp in pitt. i look for us to draft 1 or 2 safeties.

Don't want. I want Troy till he's done. As a fan...this is what I want.

Of course you do, as a fan.

I was just checking to see if Steeler fans were truly as delusional as I thought they were. Gblock is in line though. This other guy seems to think Troy should net a 2nd, no lower than a 3rd. I'd be hard pressed to give a 4th since, as I've mentioned before, he spends more time on TV in shampoo commercials than on the field making plays.

Who gives a shit what "this other guy says". He doesn't speak for everyone. Let me guess, another jackass on your fav sports talk show?

I don't even want to think about it, he's a Steeler legend and one of the best ever. He's not going anywhere.

It's unfortunate that his style is prone to injury, but that's how it is. The shampoo dig has been said. Try again.

Awww....someones feelz hurt? It was a homer Steeler fan who said it, btw. As an FYI, Polamalu is pretty much done. Sorry to break it to you but keep on hanging on to old garbage who can't stay on the field....just like Harrison, just like Hampton (although he wasn't a china doll like Troy & Harrison), etc, etc...

Feelings hurt? It's more like your constant obsessing over what you hear a single Pittsburgh fan say on a talk radio show. Same shit different story with you.

I just find it funny that you're constantly in here stirring the pot, yet the Cleveland thread calls out others for "trolling" daily.

I can take it though. I trust Pittsburgh's management in regards to keeping and letting go of personnel. I doubt you can say the same for your squad's front office.

Wasn't a talk show. Asked a simple question to which Gblock answered, intelligently, not flying off the handle...but thanks for your response. :rolleyes: Although stupidity does seem to be the "norm" instead of the "exception" with your fan* base.

Sorry, just had to call you out on your schtick. It's all good, we're still pals. :)

Actually having teams that win with regularity does lead to fans being delusional from time to time. Maybe one day, you'll find that out in Cleveland-ville. One day...

Oh wait...Durkie does pick playoffs for the Browns on a yearly basis, so you do have one delusional guy, at least.

One thing to keep in mind with a player like TP is the amount of money having him on the team brings in. His jersey sales alone have to be one of the tops on the team. Be hard for a frugal franchise like the steelers have proven to be to give that cash cow up.

Also somethign to be said for team legends finishing their career with said organization, like Ward. Ward meant more to the steelers than he would have on any other team even in the twilight of his career. Anyone remember Emmit Smith on the Cardinals?

Is that how you explain the "if we lose, it was the refs fault" syndrome?

He also just seems like a player that wouldn't bother to start up in a new city, new team, etc. He seems very grounded, an odd ball compared to the majority of players these days. If/when it comes to part ways, I can see him flat out retiring like Hines. I highly doubt he would go anywhere else.


Like when Harrison was shown the door, I knew for sure that dumbass would go chasing cash somewhere. Unfortunately for him, he seems to be SOL.

Funny thing with Harrison is the steelers offered him more money with the paycut than the offer he's going to recieve elsewhere. Talk about an lolfail

Last I heard he was getting zero interest. That was when Pitts made a statement that there was no chance of them resigning him.

Oh that lovely Non...

But that's not much different than the "if they win, it was the refs fault" syndrome that others have with the Steelers.

I wanted Ward to be brought back for one more year.....

I wanted to give Harrison one more year...

I want Polamalu to play for the Steelers as long as he plays football. Whatever he has left I want everyone of those plays. I don't give two shits about a 2nd-4th round pick for him. I want Troy playing as much as he can as long as he can. We don't win 2 SB without him. GM wise....just don't care. Polamalu is one if my all-time favorite players on my favorite team. I don't want him gone for anyone or any pick.

I trust the organization.....but I simply never want the stars to leave or be released.
