Bad news - looks like Bell will be suspended for 4 games because he missed drug tests

Good news - Baltimore placed six players on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, The players include outside linebackers Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil, wide receivers Steve Smith Sr. and Breshad Perriman, running back Trent Richardson and cornerback Jumal Rolle.

I'm getting sick of Bell. He had to see what happened with Bryant. Then he lied to the fans last month when it was rumored he missed a drug test. He constantly runs off at the mouth on social media when his focus should be solely on rehabbing and getting back to that elite level. Take notes from Antonio Brown. When he's on social media he is usually talking about his workout or his hunger to win a super bowl. I just hope Bell didn't smoke any weed with Snoop when he made his rap album and made a song with him. That would just be totally stupid. I hope he didn't take any PED's either to speed up the rehab process but the genius may have cost himself millions. SMDH at Bell

Now Bell is telling fans to wait the appeals process. He is confident he is not going to miss games. I would love for him to prove me wrong but I just don't see what alibi he has for missing a drug test. Bell is too talented for all the off the field BS.

He's out for 4 games

Good to see Steeler Nation representing on the org!!!

Is there an org fantasy league?

Nah. I used to try to get one started when we had more people on the org but they opted

to play pick em instead. There just weren't enough ballers who wanted to play fantasy football here.

I wish the NFL would wake the fuck up and let these cats smoke weed if it helps them alleviate pain.

Mike Wallace fails Baltimore Ravens' conditioning test

With the opening of training camp comes the most dreaded moment on each football player's calendar: the conditioning test.

Chalk up Mike Wallace as the latest to fall prey to the merciless beast. The Ravens wide receiver failed the test Wednesday, the team announced.

Images of Albert Haynesworth repeatedly failing to com...rd shuttle drill (in 25-yard increments) in under 70 seconds immediately come to mind.

Flight of the bumblebee (uniform) over in Pittsburgh?

Say so long to the bumblebee.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' 1934 throwback kit, colloquially known as the "bumblebee uniform," has been an annual staple since its debut as part of the team's 80th anniversary celebration in 2012. According to Mark Kaboly of the Tribune-Review, the team will end the flight of the bumblebee after the 2016 season.

The jerseys, while not the most aesthetically pleasing of get-ups, were certainly memorable and never failed to move the needle on social media. Plus, Ben Roethlisberger kind of looks like the Hamburglar in this outfit, which was always kind of cool.

Fear not, fans of variety. The Steelers will have a second alternative uniform this year. They'll debut their black-on-black Color Rush unis on Christmas Day against the Ravens. Hopefully this won't pose a challenge for the optically-challenged among us.

I want our previous throwbacks back.

Preseason is starting up. This Friday Detroit at Pittsburgh

Mike Tomlin is gonna sit some starters for Friday's game.

Disappointed that Senquez Golson is hurt again. 2nd rd pick from last season

and he hasn't even taken a snap in preseason more or less the regular season.

Lisfranc injury to foot. He had to have surgery. Out up to 4 months. Daryll Richardson used to play for the Rams and was decent on a bad team. He has been the talk of training camp along with WR Eli Rogers.

Hoping to see Bruce Gradkowski in the second half.

My only problem with him is his long hair. I know when we play dirty teams like Baltimore Ratbirds and the Stinkinnati Bengals will pull his hair since it's consider apart of the uniform.

OK the good and bad of the Detroit game.

The good - Grant and Richardson

The Bad - Sammy Coates has a fumbling problem???? Gradkowski can't stay healthy. Giving up a touchdown on special teams.

Aaaand the Rams are back in LA where they belong!

Hell, I remember Roman Gabriel.

Damn. What about Pat Haden?

I have to laugh when Steeler fans call the Bengals dirty. Does the name Kimo von Oelhoffen ring a bell? I'm sure it does to Carson Palmer lol.

I like what I'm seeing from Shepard, the Giants' rookie receiver. He might wind up at the number two spot - I don't think Cruz will be ready when the season starts.

Laugh all you want over the most over exaggerated so-called dirty play. Last time I checked Carson Palmer is still in the league having a pro bowl career so stop acting like it was a career ending injury. And yeah Kimo von Oelhoffen name does ring a bell to Carson Palmer, they are good friends in real life

Oddly enough his name did not ring a bell for me, so I had to refresh my memory. Turns out he was originally drafted by.......you guessed it......the Bungles,


According to wiki Kimo apologized and Palmer seems to have let it go....

"Von Oelhoffen later apologized publicly for the hit rather than contact Palmer directly about the incident. Though Palmer confirmed that von Oelhoffen never contacted him personally to apologize, Palmer stated that the injury was, "just part of the game." Palmer was arguably never the same after his injury, causing some critics to question his toughness"

Not sure what they mean by "Palmer was arguably never the same after his injury" . That was 10 years ago and Palmer is still playing at a pro-bowl level. Imagine if that play never happened? I wonder what cry baby so-called NFL experts would bring up instead.

Bungals know that can't beat the Steelers without taking out Ben/Bell/Brown.........how sad. I once had respect for coach Marvin Lewis, no more now. I like how one sports analyst stated that the Bungals have the best roster in football then the rest of those sports analyst ran with that as being the trurth. Really Andy Dalton is the best QB??? Sorry Steelers offfense is better than the Bungals. For Denfense sorry Bungels are not the best.
