The team under Tepper

It's a small thing, but the prayer before kickoff is likely over. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think the prayers have always come from Christians correct? Tepper is Jewish.

Just googled and apparently Jews and Muslims have been asked to pray an ecumenical prayer before too. Regardless, I think the prayer will end.

If Tepper as owner means getting away from the overly emphasized small town southern values bullshit then I'm all for it.

As a financial savant, I expect a more analytical approach to the draft and free agency.

A younger, more forward thinking GM and coach is definitely going to be in the cards.

Hopefully he gets some of the Steelers Scouts and bring them over here. Bring their Wide Receiver assistant coach also.

Yes and yes.

When he was only 4 or 5 years old, his older sister decided to bring him to her second-grade class for show-and-tell so he could show off his multiplication and adding skills.

He started off as a shy and quiet kid.

He later opened up and became known as the class clown, always joking around.

After that change, he frequently ended up in the Principal's office. Once, he was able to escape 10 whacks from a wooden paddle.

Even though he was a scholar student at Peabody High School he never earned an A. That's because he wasn't motivated enough to work for those grades.

He would also skip class to go get free pancakes from the seminary across the street.

American billionaire builds Hamptons mansion on land bought from boss who snubbed him

A billionaire has spent five years buying out and then building a mansion on the grounds of his boss' former home after he was passed over for promotion

Possible.

Neglected to mention that the Steelers are a little more loose about guys with character issues, so that could change as well.

Maybe we just hide it better until something hops off. Seems like we've had more run-ins with character issues than the Steelers have.

I think that's awesome.

JR made a strategic decision when he opted to sell the entire franchise rather than his 48%.  This allowed his limited partners to cash out and reduced the number of qualified bidders.  Not all billionaires are created equal and this weeded out the rift raft.  Nararro now seems to fit into that category where the difference between one and two billion in cash is the gatekeeper allowing you into Club NFL.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
