He already said hes going to miss the game if his baby is born on the day of. Can you blame him? 

AJ couldn't have "split the uprights" like a month or two earlier?   

But I get it those cold December/January nights....nothing else to do....

All the best to both AJ and his wife!

No. I heard him on Bengals Line the other day. She called him while he was there.

I'd blame him I'd he did play instead of being at the birth... He's played a lot of games and will play a lot more. That little boy will only be born once.

You are correct

I agree the birth is much more important for AJ than a game. I also hope it happens during a game we can win without him or during the week. Congrats to AJ and his wife! What was he thinking 9 months ago? lol

Surprised no one has yet to mention that if AJ misses this game due to his child being born, it would ensure he will also not get hurt from Steeler cheap shots.

AJ said himself he will miss the game if his baby is born on a game day.  (or at least if his wife is in labor before the game starts)

Just hope the baby is okay.

Sure it will be with AJ's genes and then some. Super Green.

The baby will be catching passes in the maternity ward. Start 'em as early as you can.

Like Neon Green? Or Emerald Green?

Interesting perspective.  Would much rather learn under those circumstances than we have in previous years.

Mikey would love to pocket one of his game checks, thats for damn sure.


Heres to a healthy AC Green.

As long as he just misses this one. Players who have like 12 kids probably wear out the good vibes of taking the game off. Honestly, I'm a bit concerned that I don't seem to be getting a warm fuzzy feeling about him missing a game for this like so many others are. I'm not saying kids aren't A-OK and stuff, but damn near everyone has 'em, including everyone I know who sure SHOULDN'T have 'em, so meh. Maybe I'm just too jaded to be touched by this.

Its his first one he said if this was his third or something he might play but its his first one plus hes already 28 dont envision him having 12 kids lol. It would be good if h does miss a game she has him week 5 so that eifert has a better possibility of playing to offset that huge loss

Well, lets tell her to hold off until week 5 then. lol

Since it's AJ's baby, he's likely to run out of that womb and catch himself.
