Re: Music



That's a pretty good analysis and an interesting watch, thanks for sharing, HisRoyalSweetness. Being a fan of a lot of this super technical and fast-as-hell playing, I have no illusion that they are going to sound just like the studio when playing live. I, personally, am not really interested in ...

Yeah, I was going to say - Hightower's done a good job at stumping for his guys this year. It at least shows me that he's not just an afterthought from the previous regime.

Hell, you could add the Packers to that list, too. Jacobs was good for them last year, even if they ran into that Eagles buzz-saw early in the playoffs.

Re: Music


You have to be wary of videos with claims of live performances these days. So many are basically faked with singers subject to pitch correction/autotune or miming to backing tracks for at least part of a song and musicians overdubbed so what you hear is a studio recording rather than what they ...

I assumed that "Swift" was an autocorrect because he was talking about Tyler Scott and then suddenly switched to Swift. Looking at OverTheCap, cutting Swift now would be prohibitive (negative cap savings), and you'd save a paltry $610K after June first (while eating 8.7MM in dead money). Scott ...

Why should we weight until we need to hit the panic button? Be proactive and continue to invest in the line.

Re: Free Agency News and Rumors

I see both arguments and I honestly would have been fine with either. The fact that Ben coached both and (I can only assume) signed off on trading for Jackson instead of pursuing Zeitler is enough for me. Really hoping he plays well enough to justify an extension.

It seems odd for a playoff team not to re-sign either of the QBs who started for them and had winning records last season when they're not in position to draft one of the top prospects.

Surely it's only a matter of time before the Steelers sign ...
