    I played football against both. Honestly as players they weren’t that great. But as people…there are none better. Heard it from the stallions mouth.

  • Did the Steeler cave to this trash

    Incredible, I’m not a visitor, this is my town. I’m sorry to hope my beloved team has fallen this far but if you love this team you have to hope they lose a lot this year.. Cam made over 100 million in his career and he is holding a city hostage. He just plays football it’s not vital. The greed that it took to do this is sad. My season seats will go to rivals all year. Saddest day of my Steeler life knowing they folded to this hostage situation

Jon Gruden Opens Up on Antonio Brown, Coaching Brett Favre, & More! | Not Just Football
Q: How did you handle bringing in veteran quarterbacks and building around them?
You look for players with the right mindset and skills, then create an environment where they can teach and learn—show them what you want to see on the field, encourage communication, and focus on getting the team 1% better each day.
Jon Gruden Opens Up on Antonio Brown, Coaching Brett Favre, & More! | Not Just Football
Q: What was it like bringing Brett Favre to Green Bay and building around him?
