I don't watch this stuff anymore but some of my friends do. I heard he played for Pittsburgh and fans are glad he's gone from there. Thoughts?

Many Steelers have bailed over the years in search of greener pastures, and I've yet to see a former Steeler that excelled or exceeded when they left. Even Le'veon Bell who sat out a year and then bailed - later admitted he made a mistake and would do it over. Same happened with Mike Wallace when he bailed, Antonio Brown and many others.

Closest I've seen for 2 of them that I can remember - Plaxico Burress did end up playing in the SB and catching a TD for the crummy Giants. But not a whole lot more at all. Rod Woodson who made the All 75 year NFL list also left after being a Steeler for many years. He actually did well for Baltimore for a short stint, but nothing like what he was as a prime player. That's why they let him go, just got old and wasn't as good anymore. And lastly, broke my heart when Franco Harris left and played in Seattle. Watching him lay for them made me sick. Luckily that relationship didn't last long and he retired as a Steeler and of course is long in the HOF.

Sometimes players are a product of their environment surrounding them. And yeah, times when the player clearly advances that environment. But not many of them for the Steelers over the years.

That's great! I'm slowly collecting all the weird items that company makes that also made those dogs! I have one of those dogs, cat, bat, 2 birds, a swan, rat, frog & a baby monkey. All skeletons of course. My wife thinks there is something wrong with me. They're just cute in a Halloweenish kind of way. All on my upstairs area on a large shelf that runs by the ceiling. I had them in the living room originally. That idea was immediately nixed when the woman got home. Party pooper she is. But I did override her with my Steelers collection, or portion of, in a large glass case down there. I have a 3 foot skeleton in my room whose eyes lights up if you hit a button. She also nixed the 12 foot standing skeleton for the front lawn! LOL

Crazy Bonez is the company if I recall. And oh, Eff Vick too, he's a scumbag. That left me shaking my head but never changed my opinion about him.
