    Ju Ju throws shade at Steelers' facilities

    In recent years, the NFL has become something like college football in the area of facilities. Franchises are spending massive amounts of money to create state-of-the-art facilities for players and coaches. It makes sense considering just how much time dedicated players…


    I've been inside the Steelers' facilities; they are fine, especially compared to the old ones at Three Rivers. Most mid-tier college weight rooms were better than that joint, even some high schools. I am not joking.

    The "new one," they share with Pitt. It isn't state of the art, but it's nice enough. One of the critiques is that they use whatever equipment is offered for free, not what the strength coaches feel is best. To be honest, the players who take working out the most seriously, do it own their own, often in outside facilities, as we have seen with players like Troy Polamalu and etc.

    Does it make sense to pay 10's of millions in players' salaries and cut corners on the strength trainers and equipment? I don't know.

    Help me find my post proving I am a Yinzer!

    I will tip my hat to Tomlin if he has a winning record and the team makes the play-offs in the upcoming season.

      It doesn't matter. Dont need no stinkin facilities.
      Man up like Troy and just run up and down the stadium stairs in the snow "Rocky" style.

      In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

      TCFCLTC-
      The Coach Formerly Considered Less Than Cowher

          Unfortunately, that doesn't provide any resistance training, and you need resistance training.

            The story just came out a couple days ago, maybe I missed it, if it was posted before. The question is, if the facilities are lacking, does it reduce the # of free agents who would be attracted to signing here?
