    And they wonder why fans are losing interest in the NFL.

    Why is Le'Veon Bell bringing next year's contract up now, right before their playoff game. He's whining about only making 12.1 million dollars under the franchise tag. Players nowadays are so out of touch with the real world. I'd really be pissed if a Raven player did this, but since we never make the playoffs anymore, I guess I don't have to worry about this kind of thing happening.

    Good. Hope he does retire. Also hope it creates a nice distraction for tomorrow's game

    He’s not gonna retire! Sit home & get $0 or whine your way to $12mil??? Easy. Chris mccalister, when talking about franchise tag said something like - “Tag me every year!!!! Look at those numbers!”

    Yep, Chris McAlister's quote was just brought up this past week when they were talking about Bells whining. The Steeler's organization usually don't put up with selfish type players like him, but he is such a valuable cog to their offense. This off season could get interesting for them. All I can say is Go Jags.

    I just don't see the Jags close in this game. They haven't been very good lately. Although they did win a playoff game, scoring 10 points in each of their last 2 games isn't going to get it done against the steelers.

    Bortles will have to play out of his mind today for them to win, unless Roethlisberger lays an egg, throws a few picks, which he could do. Looking forward to the game. I do have a rooting interest.

    Didn't see that coming did ya lol

    There is absolutely no chance in hell he retires, I would bet all my money on it. Could he technically 'retire' for a year and comeback as a FA or does Pitt still hold his rights?

    I sure didn't, but it made my day. Would've been better if it was 45-0, but I'll take it:)
