Rodman is the best defensive player I can remember. He is the best rebounder I can remember. Those Bulls teams were special for this reason: Rodman, Pippen and Jordan were the three best defensive players in the league and all three of them could defend multiple positions

Was Big Ben listed on the injury list in his two starts last year?

I seem to remember them getting fined for him not being on it but don’t quote me on that. I don’t remember if he was or not

Thoughts on the Pats kicker controversey?

I have no idea. If he didn’t know there were some white nationalist implications with his tatoo, and at 18 he might not of, then there is nothing to see here. Who cares if he supports Trump and gun rights, it is a free country and that’s what he believes in. I get a kick out of this - 17 and 18 year olds do all kinds of dumb things and don’t realize the implications fully and then we want to kill them for it later in life when it comes out. I don’t know what is in the guys heart or not and if he says he isn’t a racist, I’ll take him at his word until he proves otherwise

I think what the steelers did with Minkah was genius & should be the new trend: find a (disgruntled) pro-bowler still in his rookie contract and trade a 1st-rounder for him. Zero risk with your 1st round pick and the barely paying anything... would you agree?

Yeah if only it was that easy and guaranteed to work out that well every time. They did get a steal with that trade though if you ask me

Most of your colleagues won't touch this subject.  I suppose they feel it is a sacrilege, but I think it is possible to have great admiration for what Ben has brought to the team over 15 seasons while still being able to point out that his 2 yr $68 million extension (with virtually all of it guaranteed) is looking like one of the worst deals in the history of the league.  We could have just franchised him and spent only slightly more over two years, but had the flexibility to move on if he got hurt seriously (which he did).  I'll be surprised if he ever plays again at a high level.  Not only is it killing our cap, but we could have signed Winston, Newton, or Dalton on the cheap.  If one of those guys goes onto have a stellar career, will Ben's deal look even worse?

Ben’s deal will be judged on what he does these next two years. If he plays well and the Steelers are successful nobody will talk about his contract.

Paul,  I hate to say it but the lack of quality assistant coaches plus lessor talent is pointing to a repeat of the 80's when Chuck's teams were mediocre. Plus the division is getting much better.

I do agree that the AFC North is going to be much improved and getting better every year. The Browns and Ravens look like they will be very good for the next few years

I’m living on 2,500 a month and have a pocket full of $10.00 bill left , do you think Ben living on $3 mill a month would take a pay cut to get high end free agents, if he foresees SuperBowl.

I don’t. He could have taken a discount And told them to spend elsewhere when he signed his deal and didn’t. Why would he do it now?

Oh my you have the browns finishing before the Steelers. Gimme a break. Haven’t we seen this story before?  Get off the hype train.

I actually think the Browns will be better. Humility does a lot for a team and they were humbled last year. And I think they improved their offensive line and their coaching should be 100 times better than the clown show it was last year

Realistic to think Jake Guentzel could be a great bonus for Pens if/when season resumes?
AvatarPaul

Absolutely. The longer this goes the better chance he has of being healthy and playing
Well thank you so much for all the questions, time flies when we are having fun and the hour blew right past us! Let’s do it again next Thursday!!!
