Looks like the Draft won't be returning to Philly next year and considering the AFC South, we won't be as entertained as we were this year in the draft. Nashville is the leading candidate to host the 2019 NFL Draft per Schefter.

The draft will be on tour until it stops packing stadiums - it’ll be a reward to teams who refurbish facilities or build new practice facilities etc. (Basically anything substantial and updated and new that isn’t the whole stadium)
 
Did anyone read the Article on cbssports.com about T.J. McConnell, a player on the Philadelphia 76ers. The article talks about him growing up in Pittsburgh and being a big Steelers fan. However, that all changed after meeting Ben Roethlisberger. Apparently, he found Ben to be such a jerk, that he could no longer root for the Steelers. I thought it was interesting.

Surely it doesn't take meeting Ben Roethlisberger to know he is an insufferable jerk right? But hey I love it when lifelong Pittsburgh fans leave the fandom on account of him!

Fuck that drama queen. However, we gotta find a way to win in Pittsburgh and not let their offense completely shit all over our defense when it matters most.

Andrew Luck has yet to throw a pass in 496 days. And to this day is still not able too.

In all likelihood he may be finished as a successful QB because even if we were to assume his shoulder is completely healed (I'm not sure), it still takes a lot away from your game with so much time off.
 
Sports Gambling is now legal. The refs now dont have to hide their betting on games anymore behind poor terrible calls.

i cant wait for all of these sorts of takes after crappy calls every week - itll only deflect more from the real issue which is that the level of officiating is awful all around

also its another culture shock for me but until recently i never even realised sports gambling was illegal in the US

the NFL won't allow gambling in games they are actually calling. They will still have to hide this.
