My business partner was charged with assault of his girlfriend (a long time ago)... after she had stabbed him with a knife that pierced his spleen and he knocked her out.Hmm, so the Steelers consider it a "Personal Matter". It's interesting when the shoe is on the other foot in these scenarios. Thought they would have cut the guy already. 'Til then, congrats on taking an early lead in the AFC North TurdWatch standings.

Nope. But his girl was the same "ethnicity" as William Green. If that matters.
Yeah, go with some ambiguous rating system. Don't actually look at anything like the # of members on each team with convictions or pleas.And that's not to suggest that I'm in defense of Harrison here. If it's true (he already admitted as much), then a big
Steinbach's 1 arrest was lumped in with the rest. Reggie McNeal's arrest was lumped in with the rest. I'm just pointing out that when it's a good player it's a little bit harder to, um, move on as you would say. -QG
Of course it is. If anyone belives the caliber of player "in trouble" is irrelevant, that person is naive. However, this lone incident with Harrison certainly shouldn't be enough to cause his dismissal from the team. If the story is 100% accurate, it sounds like he owned up to his mistake and is willing to accept the consequences.

Its ok, has anyone ever heard of him before his visit with the steelers? I Hadnot! Get it?
It's a tag. He won't be making that much when he's signed to a deal. It's a very common practice when teams want to keep the rights to unrestricted free agents and I'm sure you know that. Why would you post this?$7M a year for Max Starks
I'd much rather have Max Starks then Rex Hadnot. Hadnot isnt worth anything to me. Max on other hand has showed some very good moments, is inconsistent, but at least has some real value.$7M a year for Max Starks
I think Norris is smart enough to know this -- he is just trying to get a rise out of you. I have no problem with ribbing over what you may believe is a stupid signing or so forth but this kind of post where you know darn well the Steelers are not offering Starks $7 million/year is just dumb. On the other hand if Starks somehow does sign a $7 million/yr contract then I will join Norris in laughing at the team that signs him, Steelers or no.It's a tag.

He must have talked to me.
They said the same stuff about him when he was starting two years ago. I frequent lots of team message boards and at finheaven they didn't care for him at all. His only true saving grace is that they had a horrendous line before he got there and so he was slightly better then nothing. Which is what he would have been with us, except for the millions of dollars spent. I'd rather bring in 3 undrafted FA rookies for pennies.
guys was pimped on the idp board by a few peeps a year ago and then was lost in the shuffle over the past year
If he can help the Steelers dreadful special teams then I am all in favor.
Fox, a third-round draft choice in 2004, received a signing bonus of $40,000 and will be paid the veteran minimum of $605,000 in 2008. He will be a backup linebacker and special-teams performer for the Steelers.
I was wondering today how this was proceeding. 
slimeball is rolling in dough
I dont know much about Hartwig but isn't he injured a lot? How does he compare to Hartings?
I'm very excited about this. He has had a couple injuries lately but if he can stay healthy he should be a huge upgrade from Mahan. Does this mean they cut Mahan now? or keep him as a backup?
It seems more and more likely that the #1 pick will be either OT or CB... or best offensive lineman available
:whoosh:
I am guessing the Steelers had him checked out pretty good. Heck he would be an upgrade over Mahan if he was torn off at the waist and had no legs.From the Panthers Scout.com board, one guy said:
I assume you meant DT or CB or best o-lineman available ... and I agree wholeheartedly.
I wouldn't say he's been McGarbage but he hasn't lived up to his potential. He showed a lot of promise in 2005 and I thought for sure he would have taken Townsend's job in 2006. It is now two years later and he still hasn't supplanted Townsend.Maybe he is a late bloomer and will still be a starting CB someday but I wouldn't be throwing a lot of money his way until he proves it.
The groin injury sounded bad, so I did some googling and found this:From the Panthers Scout.com board, one guy said:
To me, the above sounds like the tendon was surgically cut, then repaired, rather than torn up by use. He recovered and made 15 starts...but did his strength recover?
I wouldn't read too much into that. They would send somebody if there was a chance they would take somebody from BC in the 7th round.However, Tomlin and Colbert were at the Penn State pro day. King is a first round possibility.
+1OL>>DL>>>>CBWe need to refill the trenches.
King can play. It wouldn't be a flyer. If they like him they better take him in round one becasue he won't be there in round 2.That being said, I want Albert.
You think? I know the guy can fly, but his ball skills leave a lot to be desired from what I've seen. Sounds to me like Ike Taylor II, which isn't the worst thing in the world, but in round 1 with so many other needs? I don't see it. I didn't think King was that highly regarded - I haven't seen anyone rate him above the 6th or 7th best CB in this class. I'd rather have Jenkins, McKelvin, Cromartie, Talib or Cason. I put King in the next group with Flowers, Godfrey, Porter, and Lee. I'd think King would be there in the 50s, but I could be way off.
