    There’s more to people than that? No not with what is happening now. It’s truly time. You hate your job you said nothing about the election with a huge population listening. No there’s not more to people than that. You are like

    Lebron . People thought he was going to be a social awareness leader but is too lazy and not very smart. That is sadly what Madden is. I moved to really like this guy until he wouldn’t talk logically when his country needed him to. It’s time for us all to stop listening t... more

  • To answer your question NO!

    I’ve been beyond a Steeler fan for 50 years.. Steeler love is deep.. but no way.. I just went through one season with a fraud fake Wilson and now we are close to signing a way bigger malignant narcissist. No way can I swallow this

  • It’s sad

    I did think that Mark was smart and of course he is but not saying to his audience that Trump is too far gone was a reason to not listen. It’s his way I guess of responding to all the ugly hate that Mark got. But now we all see Trump was lying that project 2025 is a white supremscist plan that is all he cares about. Still nothing? Sports most likely will not even matter next season. Life will not be what we are used to. He should show regret.
