Visit Glenn's excellent Steelers website: Sauron's Steeler Page I attended the game at which Barry Sanders juked and Rod imploded. It was an ugly thing to see. I thought the organization showed incredible faith by holding the slot open for his return to play in Superbowl XXX. Unfortunately, the free agency agreement which Rod and all the other departed Steeler players wanted has caused economic reality to set in. These players have benefited substantially from this agreement. To make the claim that "I should be able to stay here for my entire career, and they should pay me as much money as I want" flies in the face of reason. There is no bottomless bucket of money. There IS a salary cap. The objective will ALWAYS be to get the best 11 players on the field while operating under those guidelines. Rod, you're a Raven now. Live with it. Live on the other side of the ball from the Black & Gold. Try and remember when YOU once played for division champs. Players come and go, but the Team lives on.... Sauron Rod, you will always be my favorite, but Tom Donahoe made the right decision, and you made the mistake of leaving the 'Burgh, baby. So eat crow and wonder what might have been. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed many years watching Rod Woodson and reveled in his sometimes superhuman athletic prowess. Maybe Rod's just like me and misses the days when a player started at, played for, retired from, and is inducted to the Hallowed Hall from the SAME TEAM. Those were the days, sportsfans. J.C. Clyde Laurel, Md. OK. What probowlers did we lose this year? Thigpen and Jackson. And to a man, people agree it would have been unwise for PGH to pay those players what they got. And who did PGH sign? Dawson, Kirkland, Steed, Gildon, Stai. 3 probowlers Rod, three. Hopefully Lake will be four. Sure Rod, like you weren't expendable? You were so critical that the 49ers cut you after your cheap 1st year was up. PGH offered you more $$$ than anyone, so are all other team in the NFL even worse than PGH at signing players? "Those personal comments in the papers about players, that bothers me. This is a business and you have to be political about the way you say things, not just wake up in the morning and say, `Hi, I'm Tom Donahoe. I can say anything I want.' Oh you mean like when you said PGH could win a super bowl easily if they wanted to, that was an accurate well thought out point? Or when you claim PGH said degrading things about you in your meeting, that was professional? I say throw a screen to his side to FU and JB all day and see how he holds up. "His comments were totally unnecessary and unprofessional." Donnahoe has bee biting his tongue since day one. The crap Greene and Woodson spewed since the day they left was "unnecessary and unprofessional." Then Kevin wanted to come back after saying PGH treated him so wrong. I guess they feel only teams who over pay players can win. Rod's still a spoiled brat, and doesn't speak the truth. Kordell, two words: double moves. He will jump on the first move and hold or get burnt. I'd hate to see Rod have a big day and be in their face. Cman |
