It would be cooler to see him take on Uriah Heep

Easy livin' for sure

With Oats playing the Bobby the Brain Heenan role and providing outside interference?

Le'Veon Bell Responds To Vontaze Burfict Fight Challenge: "I'll Beat The Dog **** Out Of Him"

I can’t believe this is real.

I can’t believe this is real.

Nothing that involves Le'Veon Bell or Vontaze Burfict surprises me.

And you know what? Sometimes grudges hold, especially when a guy allegedly gloats over causing injury to another player.

 

[rockaction]

I love how Pac Man Jones is in the story, willing to bet 100K on Burfict.

God, how does that guy still have money? I figured he'd have spent it all by now at the strip clubs.

Autograph signings at the clubs.

Everything is now for sale!

This may be my favorite thread of all time. Lots of takes in September of 2018 that didn't age well.

Le'Veon Bell regrets 'petty' Pittsburgh exit, would like 'a couple' preseason carries before retiring as Steeler

Come back time>?

I like how he's like (paraphrase): "I'm gonna try to start training and see if I'm actually still capable of doing this at all, but I dunno ... BUT IF I CAN, I'LL BE BETTER THAN EVER!"

Bump

 

[rockaction]

No way is this guy currently better than Harris or Warren.

This is a bit sad. It's weird when the fans know you shouldn't hold out, and you do and ruin your career in the process.

 

[jrt103]

He is so serious about a comeback that he is going to start training in March, or "March-ish" and do what in Feb? Lay around and eat big macs?

 

[Wigglytuff's Gruff]

ruin your career in the process.

He signed a $52mil contract with $35mil guaranteed after that holdout.

Think it did his career just fine myself.

 

[sm8680]

Goodluck with that. The year he sat out there were reports that he was up to 260lbs.
He was sinking a jet-ski

He was toast and didn't earn a penny of it and would have gotten nearly the same from Pittsburgh.

That year of lost earnings comes into play. He didn't get paid that year. I'm not sure what the actual numbers were, but he didn't "win" by that much.

Also, Jets gonna Jet. I hated that signing and took **** in my own team's thread for hating that waste of money. What a ****ing joke.

 

[Wigglytuff's Gruff]

I think he was toast when he started the holdout and has been ever since. And he knew it. He knew stepping onto the field, and removing all doubt as to how much he had left in the tank, before signing a big deal was a bad move.

Played it well. The best of his career was long gone. Made basically all his money after it was 'finished'.

I was reading down and saw you posted this and was going to say there are people who actually exist who still defend his holdout but I now see a defender has already arose.

But yes, he made the dumbest decision any player has made in the last 10+ years and every off-season when we hear question about if so and so player will play under the tag or not I roll my eyes because of course they will, dumb decisions like Bell's are generally learned from, not repeated.

I'll be sure not to post next time dude. Apologies for offering an alternative opinion.

You are welcome to having a different opinion. I was simply trying to point out to Rock that while most of us think Bell made a horrendous mistake it's not universally agreed upon and there are still people who would argue he made the right call.

Depends on what you consider the right call. All RBs now need yo try and maximize whatever value they have bc the league is treating them like disposable players. Lev Bell may have "smelled" this starting to happen and got his when he could.

LOL. I like your posts, but don't play martyr here. Nobody is getting on you personally. I took your comment in the right spirit. I think meno did, too. I think it's more exhaustion with the topic and the never-ending back-and-forth about Lev Bell and his contract situation.

If you remember back in the day, that was a hugely passionate and long thread.

Anyway, keep commenting for sure. I think you took that maybe not in the spirit it was intended. Peace.

I'm not re-litigating Bell's decision to give up $15m. If you and others still want to justify it or think he made the right call more power to you.

 

[General Malaise]

Not about being treated as disposable.

Every position has a certain value. The RB position has the least value and have become the easiest to replace. That is why the pay scale is less than other positions.
