    If you had told me that an ex-Steeler would tweet something stupid re: current events

    I would've bet Mendy for sure.

    I didn't have any problem with what he said. It's pretty stupid that someone can be pressured like this if they don't fall in line with the PC police.

        It's the whole if you don't have anything nice to say, why say anything. Especially when you're famous and have lots of followers. If there's nothing wrong with it why apologize?

        Be a douche in the locker room with your buddies. Or on planetsteelers. Etc.

        But to put a comment out there on twitter, you have to know enough people are gonna see it that someone's gonna complain. As a society we can't discuss anything openly and honestly.

          Because he's probably too busy still counting his money.

              You never count your money when you're typing on the Twitter.
              They'll be time enough for countin', when the tweeting's done.
              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 didn't see it going there. Nice

                I always though Kenny was an underrated actor after seeing Six Pack. It was his only movie, but he can always say he was in a movie with Diane Lane.

                  I'm not sure why you're so quick to dismiss the 5 appearances as Brady Hawkes in The Gambler movies or 2 as MacShayne but in my book TV movies are still movies!!

                    Would you be cool with it if a white athlete made thinly veiled racist remarks?

                    Because it's the same thing.
                    Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

                      After all of his plastic surgery, Kenny looks almost as bad as the Jarvis Jones meat statue, except that his complexion is actually darker than Jarvis' raisin-clad head (probably from years of standing under the Kenny Rogers Roasters neon sign outside Kramer's apartment).

                        Made for TV back in those days meant it was slightly better acting than Leave it to Beaver. It's not like today where major stars are doing huge TV series to compete with reality TV.

                        But I always did dig Kenny in a Chuck Norris kinda way. Not the action star part, just the legendary part.

                          How come homophobia and racism aren't cool, but it's ok to call me an idiot. I bet Wally's gay. People often are what they hate.

                            His new face gives me nightmares. Plus, did he ask his dentist to make him look more like a chipmunk?

                              No it's not... it's not the same thing and it's irresponsible to say such a thing.

                              You can hide sexuality.. you can't hide skin color. There is a difference IMO.
