This is no surprise, everybody expected this to be the decision that came down since we found out Ben was gonna meet with Roger Goodell today.
Big Ben's returns will come October 17th against the lowly Cleveland Browns, so that should be a nice welcome back victory. For Steelers fans, hopefully they'll be 2-2 by the time he's back, but with the Falcons, Titans, and Ravens on the schedule, there's a strong possibility they'll be 1-3. Especially now that we know Byron Leftwich is gonna be out for at least the first game with a MCL sprain and the Steelers will be forced to rely on either Dennis Dixon or Charlie Batch.
2) Manny Ramirez To Cut Hair Today
Also happening today, Manny Ramirez is expected to cut his hair. Chicago is allegedly flying in Manny's barber from Boston to do the job, but I'll believe it when I see it.
3) Agent Wants Crayton Released From Cowboys
As a Cowboy fan, this whole Patrick Crayton situation pisses me the fuck off. Forget Crayton's agent asking for a release again, the fact that the Cowboys would even consider letting him go when we have to cut our rosters down to 53 players tomorrow is what bothers me. Yeah he's a trusted veteran and all that jazz, but besides that, who's to say Dez Bryant and Miles Austin are going to be healthy for 16 games?? What if one gets hurt?? What if both get hurt?? I'm sold that Dez and Miles are great players, but I'm not sold on their durability. I know Miles stayed healthy in 2009, but before that break out season, he was known to be injury prone. Hell, he was even hurt for a good portion of training camp. And in addition to my concerns with Dez and Miles, Roy Williams' big garbage ass is hurt right now too.
Look, I could go on and on, but the bottom line is this: on top of it being fucked up to keep PC for camp and then dump him at the end, we need this guy on our team! We'll see what happens tomorrow when cuts are made.
4) LenDale White Out For The Season
Tough off season for LenDale, first he's traded by the Titans, then cut by his former college coach, and now he'll miss the entire 2010 season with a torn Achilles tendon. To be fair though, this injury could be due to his falling out of grace with God after his contribution to Tim Tebow's friar haircut. Just putting it out there.
