    What is the problem here? Is the assertion that Troy isn't working hard enough to rehab? Does it matter if the STeelers are not fully forthcoming to the press about injuries. It seems to me that most teams in most major sports reveal as little as possible about injuries in order to hide potential weaknesses from their opponents. (BTW, the Ravens are under fire right now for not including Ed Reed on an injury report because he has a shoulder injury which has not caused him to miss a game.) Why get angry about teams hiding injury info? Most successful franchises do this. Am I missing the point?
    Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.

        No, that was another season. This one was at the very beginning of the season.

          Since TimeWarner and NFL Network came to an agreement earlier this season, pretty much all of us should have total access now.

          Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

          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.

          We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

          We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

            I discussed it with a guy who trains NFL athletes, and he said he thought it was PED related and said that every guy over 30 in the NFL is taking some form of them, and the muscles build faster, but the tendons and scar tissue don't repair as quickly so there is a better chance to aggravate the initial injury and then it takes longer to heal. I'm not saying Troy is on PED's, but that was info I got from a guy who trains players in our division, and had a short stint as a player in the NFL.
            A great more players are on PEDs than most of us realize. In order to get caught, you have to almost try to get caught; you have to be really stupid. When millions of $s are involved, and getting away with it is very easy, it's logical to think the use would be pretty rampant. Also, once someone is busted, note what their performance does after wards (as they are tested more often after they are busted, hence can't keep using them). Look at the production of players like Shawn Merriman after he got snipped; He was NEVER a good player again.

              Honestly that's not Gatorade...it's water. watch those guys squirt it in their mouths ...it's clear good ol' Bobby Bouche' H2O.

              Problem is...things people think are healthy simply are not. Do some research on GMO's (especially whole wheat).
              Even our fruits and veggies that are mass produced don't have the nutrition they should b/c the soils are so depleted of minerals and the pesticides used on them are bad.

                You are right about all this. Funny thing is: The FDA, who is ___so___ concerned for our safety (not for the profits of big drug - cough, cough) is refusing to label our food and tell us if it is GMO or not. Why are they bucking so hard to just let us know what food is GMO so we can make our own decision as to if we think it's safe to eat or not. Funny thing is: Some mice given GMO food to eat ended up with massive cancer tumors. But, no sweat, the FDA really DOES care about our safety; can't you just tell?

                  On ESPN, they are saying Troy's injury is an ankle. Which is it? Calf or ankle? Oh, we aren't allowed to know because some how the Steelers lying about it will make them win more games. HOG WASH, BS, CRAP, DRIPPING OOZING WET TURDS

                    I have no problem with the Steelers keeping things on the qt with Troy. What difference would it mean to me as a fan what the guys injury was because, they'll bring him back if they think it will be good for the team. If the Steelers believe it keeps the other teams of balance then, go for it Mr. Rooney and Mr. Tomlin. Pretty soon we will hear compliants that , the Steelers didn't publish the play book for us fans or didn't put the game plan in the newspaper on Saturday.
