Hopefully, but I’m not sure Tomlin can become the disciplinarian he needs to be, and JuJu becoming the next NFL diva won’t surprise me.

if the provider is underaged, now that is totally different. there is no news, that i have heard anyway, that he used a minor.

i do not think his visiting is conclusive of his personal character. his use of that sex service does not mean he doesnt support charities, is not a good next door neighbor, and isnt a good grandfather! repeat - i do not condone his using a prostitute, but in its context - behind closed doors, and pretty much a victimless crime, i don't really care and would not look at him as if her were garbage or anything.

Not do derail this conversation, but this is not just a case of prostitution, but rather a case of human trafficking, which it usually is in these Chinese massage parlors. These women are brought over as slaves and forced to do this, and it's absolutely abhorrent. Anyone that condones or participates in this is a disgusting human being.

Yeah I think it was a crap trade in terms of talent but given AB I didnt expect much more. I think overall we will be better off but next year will be a hard season unless we get lucky on the draft picks. We will be in it but just above average. I think the issue will be once we get the talent ready we need to be a top team Ben will be likely done and that will be a harder hole to fill.

Yeah, Ben is the cornerstone of the team for sure. It will be hilarious what AB deals with on a lowly team like Oakland that really has no chance of anything and by the time they do AB will be gone. lol

Hopefully Ben has three more years. We have McDonald that is coming on really well as long as he stays healthy. He is a beast. I think the Steelers will go deep into the playoffs. The only reason we didn't last year is because our kicker sucked. He really cost us the playoffs by himself. Kind of odd.

How deep do you predict the Stiller’s go into the playoffs this coming season? AFC Championship game?

I'm curious how JuJu does. I really like him and he has talent but I just cant tell if he will be able to manage double teams much more often with AB gone. Other than that and the obvious defense issues we need to fill I like the team. Really need some attitude on the D, we just feel soft right now.

Washington needs to step up and/or they need another significant WR, JuJu needs to prove he can be a #1 receiver, they need the defense to step up, replace what they lost with Shazier, they need to get a quality DB, they need another RB, and if Conner is going to be the main back they need to keep him healthy, etc...

It’s interesting they finally beat the Pats, albeit not in Foxboro, and don’t make the playoffs. I can’t wait to see what happens this upcoming season.

I was watching some clips of Antonio Brown's career and it was interesting. He was actually quite humble when he started in comparison to today. One has to wonder is he okay? He has been hit really hard in that head of his many times and I do think it can have an effect. He really doesn't seem right anymore if you listen to his interviews. Just doesn't sound clear.

I agree. Add in throwing furniture off a high rise balcony and pushing his ex to the ground. CTE.

Most all future divas start out humble. AB got paid and went full diva ever since.
