Steelers no better than Bengals

This is nothing new for the Steelers. We took a pass when Harrison gets charged for assault, but we kick G.Russel off the team. IN all sports there is a sliding scale for discipline based on your skill leve.

What did Gary Russell do? I thought he wasn't brought back simply because he wasn't all that good. It was Cedric Wilson who was dumped after multiple off-the-field incidents.

I believe he was involved in a drug bust.

That's the first I heard that, but it appears you are correct:

Gary Russell Released Due To Marijuana Bust In Columbus?

Steel City Insider is reporting that recently released running back Gary Russell may not have been a salary cap dump after all. The site is reporting that a house in Columbus, Ohio where Russell was staying was part of a drug bust where marijuana was found. This is still a developing story and since then Russell has been signed by the Bengals, which all makes perfect sense now. Stay tuned as more of this story may develop.
