wallace must have an ego that can't listen or see the light it's obvious he either doesn't know steeler history or believes he's above steeler history. he won't get nothing if he isn't in camp but, maybe he already knows the steelers will never agree to what he wants even if he does sign for this season ?

not sure if your dates are correct but i think he may break and show up also. if he does, he will almost be forced to sign the steelers offer(unless its unbelievably low). if wallace is truly playiongh the 'injury' card, it wouldnt make sense for him to play all 16 just for the tender amount.steelers = 3 ring circus with tomlin being the head clownComment

Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

will he be a distraction to the team if he does show up ? will he be moaning that the team isn't giving him his love or will he be complaining in the locker room, to the media about how he won't be back next season ?Comment

I doubt it...even if he only plays under the $2,724,000 tender, he would still make almost as much in 3 game checks as he made all of last season.
If he skipped out on the first 10 games, he'd lose $1.7 million in salary, which, oddly enough, is the total amount he has earned so far in 3 combined years as a pro.Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

Report: Steelers won’t trade Mike Wallace “at any point”
Posted by Evan Silva on August 7, 2012, 7:29 PM EDT
Citing team sources, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the Steelers will not trade unsigned holdout wide receiver Mike Wallace “at any point this season.”
Dulac’s report also notes that Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is “no longer supportive” of Wallace as he angles for a long-term deal. Pittsburgh wound up giving a contract it originally proposed to Wallace — or at least most of it — to fellow receiver Antonio Brown.
Per Dulac, the Steelers are willing to wait “several weeks” to see if Wallace caves. The organization does not anticipate Wallace reporting before it departs from St. Vincent College on August 18, and the Steelers appear to be just fine with that.
The Post-Gazette story is the latest in a string of strong signals from the Steelers that the club will not relent and meet Wallace’s contractual demands. G.M. Kevin Colbert recently told 93.7 in Pittsburgh that the Steelers will continue to stand their ground until Wallace signs his one-year, $2.742 million tender and reports to club headquarters.

Yes actually, Rod Woodson is a "POS" because of the way he handled his contract negotiations with the Steelers. If you recall how he parted ways with the Steelers, Mr. Woodson turned down a long term extension from the Steelers then tore his ACL. When the Steelers reduced their long term offer, Woodson ended up signing with the 49ers in a fit of pique for HALF of what the reduced Steelers offer was. I think that alone makes Woodson a POS.Comment

I wasn't talking about how he left...I was talking about how he arrived. He held out until late October of his rookie year, and fans still had "Rod is God" signs up in Three Rivers for him. If people think that Wallace is now a POS because he isn't at training camp, then they certainly should have thought that Woodson was a POS from day one, since he wasn't around for half of the actual games that count during his rookie season because of a contract dispute.Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

I will give you Woodson's rookie holdout. The NFL was a very different place back then, there was no free agency whatsoever, there was no rookie slotting. If I recall correctly, if a player who was drafted failed to sign with the team that drafted him and sat out the entire year, he would go back into the draft the following year. But what makes Mike Wallace an almost incomprehensibly huge POS is that the system which makes 4th year players restricted (as opposed to unrestricted) free agents has been in place for almost 20 years and was ratified just last year in the new CBA negotiated by the player's union that Wallace is a member of. Wallace is the only 4th year player this year that refused to sign his tender, and seems to think that he is entitled to pretend that he is an unrestricted free agent. His disgustingly selfish conduct guarantees that no matter how many games he deigns to show up for this season, it will be his last as a Steeler.Comment

It guarantees nothing. Colbert has noted all along that his intention has always been to sign Wallace long-term. As more and more media outlets speculated on possible trade destinations for Wallace, Colbert shot back that they have no intention of trading Wallace at any point. Wallace will report...likely shortly after camp breaks (which happens two days before preseason game #2 against the Colts), and he will likely have a shiny long-term contract in his hand before the start of the regular season.Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

I won't view Wallace as a pos, it's still a free country and though I don't agree with him, I don't hate him over it. For me to continue to talk about Wallace or anyone else with contract issues is just for the entertainment of it and for me to have football stuff running through me. It is what it is and I have no control over it so, panic from me won't help. I tell you one thing, I would have been put out if we wouldn't have signed Lamar Woodley last season.
As for Rod Woodson, I thought he was in the Olympics or Olympic tryouts during rookie camp ? It was years ago so whatever I think or remember is probably wrong. I do remember Rod holding out but I didn't care what it took to get him into camp. Years of Harvey Clayton and other people from the burn unit made all is good with Rod the god.
As for Wallace again, maybe he will be back this season, he is hurting the team not learning the offense. He is hurting his chances of getting all he can get out of practice. Also, teammates should stay out of touch with him. The more he has guys asking him to come back or keeping this hold out alive then, the more he feels he is in control or he is more important than the Rooney/Steeler way of handeling things.
Stay away from him and he'll get lonley for the black n gold.Comment

Being a Ford man I tought you would appreciate the A's. If you check out my photo album you'll see a couple of more and better pics. I'm currently building the batmobile now but, with work and trying to do my summer home it has taken a back seat. I'm in the process of buying a 1930 Ford pickup truck. I'll probably restore that before I finish the bat. The bat, I have to do so much engineering since I'm building it from scratch.Comment
