An NFL owner with that much money and a national brand that big being this bothered about critical questions/opinions comes off incredibly delicate and paranoid—Flagship station or not. Don’t you at least want the appearance that the commentary isn’t sanitized and scrubbed?

3) Who the hell is Governor Wolf to tell me/us when I/WE "feel" safe? He can govern/make rules & guidelines about safety that we have to follow. But I don't need him telling me how I “feel.” We can make up our own minds individually on that one, thanks.

We laughed-off, shunned, mocked any suggestion the #Steelers should get Wilson two yrs ago based on cost/declining skill. He proved he wasn’t worth it. Now we are applauding his signing cause he’s cheap. Not cuz he’s good. Cuz he’s cheap. That’s an interesting approach at QB.

So, to be clear, on that 4th down they: •Made the wrong decision •Called a rotten play •Burned a timeout •Got the QB injured I woulda settled for a missed FG as a worst case outcome
