THE BLAME GAME
Hines Ward, DUI. James Harrison, off his rocker.
What has happened to the Steelers? Why has a franchise once lauded for decorum spiraled out of control?
*Head coach Mike Tomlin is too close in age to the players, and too close to the players. They don't respect (or fear) Tomlin like they did Bill Cowher.
*Art Rooney II isn't his father. Dan Rooney is mostly in Ireland, anyway, a bit more aged and feeble by the day. Artie doesn't have the same cachet, the same GRIP. James Harrison has nothing on Dan Rooney when it comes to FEAR. Dan Rooney has the entire city in his sway. Tough act to follow.
*There's no accountability in the locker room. No PROPER leaders. If James Farrior, Troy Polamalu or anyone else on that defense was a great leader, Harrison wouldn't say what he does. Harrison wouldn't be who he is. What, are Farrior and Polamalu SCARED of Harrison? If so, that's sad.
*It's just the way of the sports world. It's all going to HELL. We're enablers, because we keep pumping money into it.
What is Dan Rooney thinking? His team's once-proud reputation is in TATTERS. Is Mr. Rooney going to do anything about it, or is he just another retiree watching the wheels go 'round? Is he afraid to upstage Artie by stepping in? Does Artie have the mental and emotional wherewithal to deal with the Harrison situation?
The Steelers have lost their moral compass since Mike Tomlin and Art Rooney II took over. Can that possibly be coincidence?
