The second Wash released him I thought if anyone can fix him maturity-wise it’s Pittsburgh.

Here’s the interesting part… He was more mature and dedicated when he was in college with the Ohio State Buckeyes. So as a college student and player he was more mature than a pro. Why? Urban Meyer was his coach, Ohio State football is big-time, and he had the right people around him. He goes to Washington, he grew up in the area, he just did not have the right support system and he went off the rails. Get him with the Pittsburgh Steelers organization and if anyone can bring him back to Ohio State form it’s Tomlin.

So we’ll see. The upside is high as the sky. Dude can throw the ball like a bullet with accuracy.

Watched on Monday.

Agreed about Sam.

Becky is a great choice but like Julie said they’re all a committee.

Hank Aaron, one of the greatest baseball players of all time, and the first and only man to legitimately pass Babe Ruth's lifetime home run record, has died:

Bobby Bonds passed Hank Aaron's lifetime home run record, but he did it using steroids, so as far as I'm concerned it shouldn't count.

May Hank Aaron Rest in Peace.

I heard the news earlier. RIP.

I completely agree about Barry Bonds.

Bonds, McGwire, Sosa... not impressed.

Yeah, I see no downside to this move at all.

Meyer wasn’t happy when he was initially benched:

Urban Meyer 'disappointed' by benching of Dwayne Haskins

Everyone’s going to have an opinion. I know him from Ohio State. Throw in all other factors and Pittsburgh is smart checking him out. Some predicted he’d go number 1 in his draft class. That doesn’t happen without endless talent and upside. We’ll see. Steelers are getting him for virtually nothing. Not sure how anyone could say this was a bad move. Not seeing it. Mason’s still on this roster too and while he might not have been tremendous in his last game, he certainly has improved a bit. They might push each other.
