Ed: Pitt's Dickerson Quits After 1 Day Thursday, 15 September 2011 12:48 Written by Ed Bouchette The Steelers reported for another day of practice this morning, but one went missing -- newly signed practice squad member Dorin Dickerson.

Dickerson, a wide receiver with Houston last season, was signed to the practice squad on Monday as a tight end. He played at Pitt and is a graduate of nearby West Allegheny High School. He reported to work with the rest of his new teammates and went through practice on Wednesday. However, he apparently quit the team either late Wednesday or early Thursday. The Steelers re-signed Jamie McCoy, a fullback/tight end they had released Monday to make room for Dickerson.

McCoy was back in their locker room this morning, getting ready for practice.

Gotta wonder why McCoy would take the job back.

What else is he going to do?

As Steelblood said, beggars can't be choosers...

Plus, the practice squad guys get paid pretty well, something like $5k per week, which is a nice chunk of change -- especially for a 22 year old.

I wish I made that a month! But, I'm just a teacher for at-risk kids. No value in that in a culture or anything.

Ed Bouchette doesn't give a flying fluck about facts...

2nd comment on postgazette:

"Please find out the rest of the story, Ed."

besides the financial reason, I'm sure McCoy still clings to the hope of making the 53 man roster of an NFL team one day and probably views this as another opportunity.

First John Clay quits in Latrobe, then doesn't.

Now Dorin Dickerson quits after 1 day, then doesn't.

That's it...I quit. See you all tomorrow.

All this talk of flat out quitting is one thing, but it could be worse -- we could be discussing retirement. For 5 years. Without really retirining yet, but being mostly retired. Except for commercials for a brand a jeans that shall remane nameless, simply because I don't want ot give them any business. Unless the Vikings call. Or maybe the Colts....

Wexell is now reporting on Twitter that he's on the practice squad - injured list. I've never heard of that before.

Clearly we're not letting any sort of facts get in the way of a good tweet....

Bouchette is not a reliable source, and he is a real smart a$$. He spends most of his time being flip and coming up with his next zinger.
