I mean I'll just post the whole thing here. GOLD, Jerry–GOLD!

PITTSBURGH—Saluting the legacy of a quarterback who brought two Super Bowls to the city and did so much to local women, Pittsburgh honored a retiring Ben Roethlisberger Thursday with a new commemorative statue in a local women’s bathroom. “We can’t think of a more fitting tribute to this Pittsburgh hero than a monument towering over the women using the restroom at this bar,” said Mayor Ed Gainey, noting Roethlisberger’s outsized impact on the community that would inspire young players and therapy sessions for years to come. “Ben was unrelenting and tenacious on the field, and even more so off of it. He was famous for extending plays and never letting adversity in any form get him down. The one thing you could say about him, if you weren’t gagged by an NDA, was that he never took no for an answer.” At press time, the city had brushed off criticism of the statue by noting that it had recently become a born-again Christian.

If the WFT's new name is the Commanders, shit is weak and whack as hell. Why not the Red-Tailed Hawks? Or Red Wolves, Or RedRum? Commanders…sounds lame.

So like, the side of the imperialist military scheme as opposed to the indigenous mascot they had to abandon? Keep it classy, NFL

I mean could it at least be Captains if not Admirals? Why would they go in for that particular rank? And a naval rank seems like more of a Maryland than a DC thing (think Annapolis). That will definitely be a wide miss if it comes to be.

Dan Snyder is awful.  I really feel bad for the fans.

They could be more contemporary - the Washington Rioters

Congratulations Bengals. Totally deserved it. Big time win!

Thrilled to see Cinci in the Superbowl.  This has been a down year of football viewing for me, but this is at least interesting

I say, go for it. With the way things go in the NFL, another chance like this may not present itself for some time to come…

Just deck out in Rams gear and holler at Mrs. Stafford @Alex

Really surprised the Bengals made it…but it was cool to see Mahomes knocked off of his high horse. Just glad the Steelers didn't make it that far.

[Matt]

Yeah, I’m out here in Albuquerque telling everyone “Nah, you don’t know the Bengals like I do, they ain’t going anywhere!”  Now I look like an idiot.  Well, more than usual but you know.  A football idiot.

[Oaktavia]

Same…only I was just talking trash to my fiancée about Cinci...who doesn't give a f about football lolol

.          Not sure where you get the Mahomes High Horse thing from,because I always pictured him as pretty humble,not the arrogant type. Am I missing something?
