Steph is on fire. I don't recall someone playing at his present level. And the Warriors are winning consistently in spite of having nobody else in their roster who requires extra attention.

Sorry Jerry, I've been a bit busy these days. Yes, Rooney & Company renewed Tomlin's contract for three years. They do not like instability. I think Tomlin's oldest is in college now. His wife has a very busy clothing business in Pittsburgh, so no surprise. I also think he wants to see Ben retire with a ring [[if at all possible).
Did either of you two [[Jerry & R&B) see anything about an Twitter incident with LeBron vs the LV Raiders??
Not yet. I saw where the Raiders official Twitter tweeted "I Can Breathe", which is what the pigs in New York City put on tee shirts to mock the murder of Eric Garner. Then, Mark Davis refused to acknowledge that his organization was insensitive under the guise of respect. He is scum of the Earth.
And LeBron tweeted "You're Next" to the cop who shot and killed Ma'Khia Bryant with the hashtag #ACCOUNTABILITY. Anybody without an agenda knows that he was talking about the cop being investigated and possibly charged. But those who are anti-BLM and anti-LeBron tried to make it seem as if he was making a threat against the cop's life. No adult would have interpreted his tweet that way.
Don't know whether there was a tit-for-tat between LBJ and the Raiders, though.
Oh geez..........and what about in your neck of the woods [Columbus]? Yikes!!
That's three cop shootings in four months. This one might be justified, but it's no less tragic. The first two were clearly murders and the cops obfuscated and intentionally botched the first and now OBI refuses to touch the investigation. The young man in that case was shot in the back and if the cop's story is be believed, the kid was holding his house key in one hand, a Subway bag in another and pointing a gun with a third.
They don't even care if their stories make sense anymore. They still get away with it.
W-h-a-t????pointing a gun with the third???? What the f--k is goin on????
This has REALLY gone crazy!!!! Innocent people do NOT stand a chance:eek:
What have we come to?
There are a lot of cops who are willing to kill innocent people if it means they go home at the end of the shift. I'd suggest that they've forgotten what their alleged calling is but I recall learning that the model for policing was based on slave patrols. They're doing it just the way the system demands.
*Welp* Justin Layne arrested for something that will wind up being dropped to a misdemeanor. There are so many guns in Ohio [[and most are probably unregistered). Hopefully, this will get sorted out before the draft.

Pittsburgh Steelers CB Justin Layne arrested, faces felony gun charge
10:07 AM ET
Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Justin Layne was arrested Friday morning.
Layne was arrested on suspicion of felony transportation of a firearm inside of a vehicle, according to jail records in Lake County, Ohio. He was also charged with two misdemeanors -- driving with a suspended license and exceeding speed limits. Layne was booked just after 3 a.m. Friday.
Police said they initially stopped Layne for going 89 mph in a 60 mph zone.
"We are aware of the incident but still gathering information," the Steelers said in a statement. "We will have no further comment at this time."
Pittsburgh drafted Layne in the third round of the 2019 draft out of Michigan State. The 23-year-old appeared in 16 games last season and had 22 total tackles. Layne's arrest occurred less than 20 miles northeast of Cleveland, where he went to high school.
Layne was granted release on a personal bond. His next court date is scheduled for May 5, according to court records.

Jerry, NFL Draft this week. Any thoughts?
A couple. Can't believe the Niners prefer Mac Jones to Justin Fields. Jones had a great season, no doubt. But Fields has more attributes that it seems like a modern QB should possess.
I'll be shocked if Atlanta actually takes a quarterback at #4. Not that I don't think it's possible but if we bring in a QB, it officially kicks off our rebuild and I don't get the impression that our coach signed on to head up a rebuild. I'm hoping we take Kyle Pitts, but I'll be happy with almost anybody.
I expect Miami to take Pitts at #6 if Atlanta doesn't. I think Cincinnati is selecting either JaMarr Chase or Penei Sewell at #5. Sewell if they want to keep Burrow healthy; Chase if they want to make him happy by reuniting him with an old teammate from LSU. If the Bengals take Chase, I expect Miami to take Pitts. If Pitts and Chase are gone, I expect the Dolphins to trade back to #9 and let Denver get their QB. There, they'll probably take Jaylen Waddle or Davonta Smith. A lot of people believe the Fins can get two Bama players in the first round with them selecting Najee Harris at #18. I don't think we'll get Harris in round one [[and the Steelers probably will), but they'll take the highest valued RB with their first pick in round 2 [[#36).
Suffice it to say, I'm geeked out and beyond ready to get this party started. :cool:
That struck me odd too, Jerry. I thought Fields the more versatile of the two. Zach Wilson to the Jets? He's a good passer. Trade rumors going up for Julio Jones? And I have you taking Kyle Pitts, too. And I have Sewell too at #5. So, do the Bears or Denver get Trey Lance?? I don't know.
I know so many Steelers fans want Najee Harris. I'm saying watch if Colbert & Tomlin go for the Center. I'm starting to put my lists together. It's the time I live for, too. My husband knows very well to just leave me be.....I'm almost ready.
Jerry, I watched the press conference with Kevin Colbert & Mike Tomlin. Colbert insists a running back is not necessarily the #1 pick but he will pick "the best available at the time. If I don't see what I want I may trade down."
I just love this time of year.;)
That's just GM speak. Everybody knows that the Steelers and Dolphins need a running back. I don't expect Miami to get one at #18 so if Harris falls to #20 or #21, don't be surprised if Pittsburgh trades up to get him. Teams know other teams' needs and try to scoop them if there's a player they really like. Miami's second pick is at #36 and I expect several running backs to go off the board in the #30-35 range because the need is pronounced. But there are plenty of good ones available, if we don't get Harris, Etienne or Williams at #35, we can grab Trey Sermon at #50 or #81.
I expect the Falcons to grab a running back in round three and a falling quarterback in round four or five. Other than that, I don't have any real projections.
And yeah, this time of year always hypes me up. It's going to be an interesting week.
Well, the last time the Steelers did that [[trade up) was Devin Bush. I usually believe no sportswriter or 1 of these "mock drafts." I know what they need. The one thing I know is that Trevor Lawrence is going first.
Nobody has a clue what's going to happen after the first two picks. The Jests are taking Zach Wilson because they've been absent from pro days for the other three QBs. If you gave me $100 and told me to bet it, I would bet the following happens:
1. Jacksonville - Trevor Lawrence
2. Jests - Zach Wilson
3. San Francisco - Trey Lance
4. Atlanta - Justin Fields
5. Cincinnati - Kyle Pitts
6. Miami - Ja'Marr Chase
For the record, I'm ALWAYS way off when I try to predict the draft.
I've been reading various reports & the one most common in all of them is that the Patriots may make a significant move [[from 15) into the Top 10 to snatch a QB depending of what team does/doesn't take a QB [[especially if SF passes on Trey Lance).
Don't look at me, either. My crystal ball is non-existent.
Well, we're one day away from everything changing for a lot of people. Reports are that the Falcons are likely to select Pitts but I think it's a smoke screen. Carolina traded Teddy Bridgewater to Denver and now their only QB is Sam Darnold. I think they expect Fields or Lance to fall to them in the draft. Personally, if the Falcons take Pitts, I expect Miami to trade with either Denver or Carolina.
I do too, Jerry. I’ll stick my neck out & say Fields. I’ve reserved my front row seat for tomorrow night.
I will have the broadcast set on ABC, my Firestick on NFL Network, one browser on CBS Sports live coverage, another on Twitter [[they always get the picks 30-60 seconds before they're announced) and at least one more on GameTracker. Since Atlanta's drafting at #35 in round two and Miami has #18 and #36, I'll be following the whole round to see who drops.
I'm way to eager for this.
I would say you are better prepared than me for the exception of Twitter [I got that one, too......they know things before everyone]
Getting the popcorn popper out of the cupboard.......
Bill Nunn, the legendary sportswriter, editor, legendary Steeler Scout [who is responsible for bringing to the forefront historically black colleges & universities] finally got his due yesterday as he was enshrined into the Pro Football HOF. He is responsible for players such as LC Greenwood, Mel Blount, & John Stallworth & many others.
Jerry, I keep seeing this name creep up into the Steelers first round pick : Zaven Collins, a LB from Tulsa. Two of the Pittsburgh sportswriters have picked him to be the first round pick. I can't shake that thought, even though mostly everyone wants Najee Harris.
WORD ON THE STREET SAYS THAT[WFT]TAKES A LINEBACKER WITH THEIR PICK...NOW JERRY,THE TWILIGHT ZONE IS WORKING OVERTIME-THE[GIZZARDS]ARE THE HOTTEST TEAM IN THE NBA[yes I'm sober, so far]THEY BEAT THE LAKERS LAST NIGHT AND HAVE WON[10 OF 12]THEY CAN'T DO THIS TO ME, I'M USED TO LOSING AND NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO GET A PLAYOFF SPOT??? I'M SCARED TO TAKE A DRINK CAUSE I MIGHT JINX EM...JERRY WHAT'S GOIN ON BROTHER???
Rui posterized Anthony Davis. It was BRUTAL. He's a good kid, so I'm sure he called AD's parents after the game to apologize. But yeah, the WBT is now that team that sneaks into the playoffs but nobody wants to play. Looks like they finally figured it all out.
And I'm not familiar with Zaven Collins moe, but I see his name listed high on a lot of mock drafts. I expect Miami to draft an edge rusher or OLB with their #18 pick and if they do, that's going to start a run on defensive linemen and linebackers.
*Mark that as my bold take*
I think there's a great chance for Najee Harris to be drafted at the end of the first round. Everybody knows that Miami needs a running back and are likely to take one at #36. Teams are going to trade up to scoop Harris or Etienne but I'll be just as happy if we get Javon Williams in Miami and Trey Sermon in Atlanta in the third of fourth round.
And congratulations to Bill Dunn. It would be cool if they put his display near to Myron Cope's.
Looks like the Steelers gave Mason Rudolph a one year extension into 2022. That's interesting because most teams only carry two QBs on game days.
I know. Now they have Ben, Mason, & Josh......with Haskins somewhere out there.
So, what about Aaron Rogers not being happy at GB? Chad Johnson tweeted he [Rogers] will end up in San Francisco....what do you think? And Steelers fans [being what they are] had Rogers coming to Pittsburgh in 2 seconds...smh.
They could use Collins, but also that OT [Jenkins] or a center. Steeler fans still assume they will pick Najee Harris. Today on NFL Channel they interviewed Aditi Kinkabwhala [sp] their reporter who covers Pittsburgh/Cleveland area. She said all parties on the Steelers were still agreeing on their first pick. The last time this happened "most wanted to take D. Hightower but Art Rooney made the decision & took David DeCastro." So, Rooney is the ultimate decision maker.
Guess we'll both see in less than 2 hours.:cool:
The Niners gave up all of their compensation to move up to the third pick. He might wind up in Denver.
Falcons got Pitts, so I'm a happy camper.
Well, Zaven Collins went off the board a long time before the Steelers had a chance to draft him. Arizona grabbed him at 16.
AAANNNNDDDD... The Steelers just bought a brand new Bus!
I NEVER thought Harris would be there at 24. And did you notice that Travis Etienne went to the Jags right after the Steelers at 25! And how bout Mac Jones going to New England. What a night!!!!
And.......more later today;)
I'm happy for you, Jerry. He's a beast!!!!!Quote:
