Official 2014-2015 Pittsburgh Steelers Thread

I never liked RZC. I'd rather watch a full game unfold instead of just catching snippets from each game. Watching a game tells a story, RZC is just a clip show. Personal preference for sure. NFL Replay on NFLN is a nice compromise, but they only select about five games a week.

One cool thing about NFLST is they take every game and cut it up. They rebroadcast it on Tuesday showing just the live action from every whistle-to-whistle. Pretty cool, but not enough to entice me to get the full package again.

I love NFL Redzone. It cuts out the filler.

[shmenguin]

My attention span is gone. I can't handle watching full games anymore.

[dodint]

I'd love RedZone on a secondary monitor.

Good luck Steelers!

~ Ian Eagle doing the game on CBS, cool name.

My sister told me Jim Brown is with browns today on the sideline.

It doesn't help that the rules get more and more complicated and the play stops get longer and more frequent. It seems like there's about 5 minutes of actual play for every hour of broadcast.

The new six-game suspension for domestic violence could just as easily be called the Jim Brown rule as the Sugar Ray Rice rule. He's a real prince that one.

Yes, I know. People who do horrible things walk among us.

Glad Foust couldn't find the gag button before hocking a loogie.

Yeah, lol.

I thought I heard that, but thought it was somebody walking past my door.

That's it? That decal - the size of a quarter on the back of the helmet, that we'll never see - is how they decided to honor the big guy?

Could have at least done a patch on the front of the jersey like Baltimore did for Art. I would have bought that. *shrug*

How he became almost a forgotten man is beyond me. He didn't kiss the media's ass so I get that. But having our organization drop the ball is inexcusable.

So Janathan Dwyer has been arrested for an alleged domestic violence case.

Add to the list of former/current Steelers in trouble with the law. Yinzers can keep telling themselves the Steelers are a classy organization.

I don't think there's a criminal free team in the NFL anymore.... just some have more than others.

When was the last QB arrested for something? Ryan Leaf.

All I can conclude from all this is that RBs are awful people.

Does anybody actually say this? I haven't heard someone earnestly say this since pre cowher Super Bowl id guess

[Crankshaft]

The only people who bring up the whole "classy steeler-way" rhetoric are the people who have an ax to grind.

[columbia]

Or maybe they're the people who saw the bs in first place. :)

I haven't heard anybody mention "classy organization" or "the Steeler way" in years.

I think even around SB43 that ship had sailed with Santonio, Ced Wilson, and Harrison all getting arrested within a few months of each other.

[dodint]

It ended for me when Holmes was allowed to be busted for recreational drug use and they cut that other guy whose name slips my mind at this point.

[shafnutz05]

I get enough out of the red zone channel that I'd never see myself wanting Sunday ticket

Agreed. No commercials, no breaks, just all action m we generally watch it all day Sunday, screw sitting through full games

I almost forgot they had an actual pimp on the team.

Interesting. I always thought that "classy organization" is more about how the organization deals with problems. Not by avoiding problems altogether.

You're paying 100's of thousands, even millions to young men in their early 20's. Many of these individuals grew up in economically challenged environments. Problems will happen. How any organization responds to those problems is the key.

But for the record, I gave up calling the Steelers "classy" when they did nothing about Ben after his issues in Georgia.
