^ thanks for the great schedule. Are you ready for a rumble ?
The
Thursday Sep 6 8:20 PM between the Falcons @ Eagles should be a good one.
As a side note around the NFL, Pittsburgh Steelers Running Back Le'Veon Bell refused to sign his franchise tag that paid him 12 million dollars last year and would see him paid 14.5 dollars this season. Bell thinks he is worth more. Bell Skipped training camp and the entire preseason. Worse, a new offensive coordinator was installed with newly draft offensive players.
Running back careers are short in the NFL and I don't think any running back is worth that kind of money. Further, I caught a few playoff games last year and Le'Veon Bell was next to useless in the playoff's when his team needed him to have a big game. Bell needs to face some harsh realities. He is a 27-year old running back with some mileage under his wheels. Talented college running backs are coming out of school at 22 years old and sometimes as young as 20. Endorsement deals may also dry up as a result of his " me first attitude. " Other teams may be reluctant to sign a malcontent and upset the balance of their respective teams. Bell has a reputation at this point of being selfish.
His team mates aren't happy with him either at this point and I think he has worn out his welcome. Bell won't play in the season opener and will lose $855,000 per game in salary for every game he misses.
