Quote:ESPN's Adam Schefter has reported that the NFL will look into the whether the Steelers failed to list Le'Veon Bell properly on injury report last week, according to a league official.
Bell, who had just six carries in Pittsburgh's loss to the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game, aggravated a groin injury that had apparently been bothering him prior to Sunday's game. Mike Tomlin acknowledged that Bell had been dealing with the injury prior to the game despite the injury not appearing on the team's injury reports during his season ending press conference on Tuesday.
Tomlin explained the team's decision to not list Bell's injury on the injury reports on the days leading up to Sunday's game.
“It wasn’t significant to the point where it affected planning or the anticipation of planning in any way," Tomlin said. "It’s unfortunate that it became an issue in game.
“[Bell] was doing a great job of managing it,” Tomlin continued. “It didn’t cause him to miss any practice time, let alone game time. It was something to manage. When you look at the journey that is the season, I think just about every guy down there is dealing with and managing something in an effort to stay on the grass.”
Bell's situation mirrors what the Seattle Seahawks have been dealing with in regard to cornerback Richard Sherman, as Sherman's name was not in Seattle's previous injury reports despite the cornerback dealing with a knee injury for "several weeks," according to Seahawks coach Pete Carroll.
They might wanna start by investigating some of Big Ben's "injuries".

I heard from an unnamed source that the NFL has found the Steelers innocent of all wrong doing, have given them a compensatory 1st round pick as an apology, and suspended Burfict for 8 games.

Maybe they'll suspend Tomlin for 8 weeks...yeah, right. I know.
Today I'm TEAM SEWELL. Tomorrow TEAM PITTS. Maybe TEAM CHASE. I can't decide, and glad I don't have to.

A pissed Pittsburgh fan base has demanded the team appeal this ruling because burfict is only suspended 8 games. They are demanding a lifetime ban because he's obviously a monster and should be in jail....also demanding Harrison makes it to the HOF the first year he's eligible, because he's always been a "real" football player, and goodell was out to get him for years

In other news the toilet paper sold at carryouts across the country may or may not get a new embossing pattern to more correctly reflect the contour of the human anatomy. Tomlin was unavailable for comment.

I thought it was funny two of the teams these rotten shitheads played in the playoffs this year were investigated for not following the concussion protocol. Instead of maybe investigating the team responsible for injuries.
How about some punishment for repeat offenses. They took out Gio last year. Its not a coincidence its the same team dishing out brain injuries. 3 of the last 5 playoff games they have played in they are targeting heads, at least that im aware of, it was probably more common.

This is the only outcome of any Steeler wrong doing.

That's the whole other side of the spectrum. "It really did look like we were going to have to amputate both arms, but the way he worked to come back by the 2nd half shows just how tough this guy is."

When they sign Adam Jones after we release him, he will be nominated to the Hall of Fame.

If they did sign him can promise he'd never make headlines for being in trouble with the law again.
Not because he'd magically change and clean up his act but because of one man - Jack Kearney.
If you aren't familiar with his "work" do a quick google search for some of the most shady things you'll ever read.

No idea, her and Shannie kept me locked in the horrible basement. After several years I checked the door and found it was unlocked and they were gone.

What? That article makes it sound AS IF there really is such a thing as crooked cops. Just when you start thinking that all cops come from the Freddy Bartholemew school of Little Lord Fontleroyism where there is no such thing as a black heart.. Say it ain't so!
