I think that, if a player doesn’t report, especially after he told his teammates that he would, you can doubt his desire to win...

No it's all part of his contract dispute, Bell was a monster on the field.

But, he isn’t on the field.

Thank you...

It feels weird calling Bell a cancer in a thread about Conner. Just saying.

At least Le'Veon's last name isn't Hodgkins.

His palsy is only involves temporary paralysis of one side of your face.

Perhaps that's why his o-lineman think he's two-faced.

That, and his bond with his teammates. I mean, trust has got to be a huge part of working together ... will they be able to trust Bell following his lie to them?

[Ernie]

Then what are they upset about?

I don't think teammates are upset about Bell's desire when he's on the field. My comment was based on "Bell's approach to contract"... or actually how I felt people weren't pissed about that...

but rather how things have gone down the last 6 or 7 days. Like I've said before, there's the "Money" end of the contract (which most of us understand)... and then there's the relationship end of things (which most would agree Bell has handled poorly as of late).

Which is exactly what I said, you can be upset about his approach to his contract dispute but you can't question his will to win when he is on the field.

Not sure if someone mentioned this on this thread ... I'm a little late to the game here on PAGE 13

BUT - did anyone notice after CONNOR'S 1st TD who he celebrated with???
He Ran Past JU JU (who wanted to celebrate w/ him) right to the his OLINE - once he went thru all 5 he ran right to the Sideline.
Smart Man!!

He did give JuJu a brief high five in passing...

fair enough.. I guess I misinterpreted your words the first time around.. good to know we are on the same page

Yes he did, out of respect but he went from 1 Lineman to the next - finished with AV and then hit the sidelines. LoL

[fordfixer]

Bell is thinking about who he’ll play for next not who he played for last. And that’s why everyone is pissed.

[pittpete]

Best response to Bells twitter post...LOL

Dude knows where his bread is buttered.

Ryan Fitzpatrick, James Conner win FedEx Air and Ground awards for Week One

Posted by Mike Florio on September 13, 2018, 4:20 PM EDT

If Vegas or any other legal (or otherwise) sports book were taking odds back in June on the Week One FedEx Air and Ground NFL Players of the Week, Ryan Fitzpatrick and James Conner would have carried with them significant potential payouts. And if you would have put some cash on the Bucs quarterback or Steelers running back, you’d be lighting your victory cigar with a $20 bill tonight.

Fitzpatrick and Conner have won the first 2018 recognition for the longstanding weekly prize. FedEx will make a $2,000 donation in each of their names to the USO, something FedEx will be doing each and every week.

The other finalists were Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes on the air side, and Washington running back Adrian Peterson and Giants running back Saquon Barkley on the ground side.
