You look at the teams that were at the top of the report card, like the Dolphins.

They haven't won anything in

since the early seventies the vikings were up there they've never watched i don't know what any of this means i guess is is what i'm saying do you really think the lack of facilities is going to hinder now if you look from from attracting good free agents like i don't i don't really think that that's a big deal so i want to say any of this stuff is overblown because i think the players have their opinions and i think their opinions are important but in the grand scheme of things of putting together a winning team i don't

I'm not so sure how this report card affects everything, if you know what I'm saying.

Yeah, you know, I was thinking about this, Joe.

You know, maybe it was quaint 25 years ago when Dan Rooney, you know, made the move from Three Rivers to the Southside that they were going to share it with Pitt.

But obviously no one else does that.

That's not the way you want to run an NFL franchise, sharing a facility with a college team.

So I don't think that's going to continue when they do get their new facility.

So I think it's just obvious things like that that maybe –

things become outdated or ideas become outdated.

I mean, you know, when you look at the NFL, it is an arms race.

You know, just look at these stadiums that are being built, these stadiums that are getting to host these Super Bowls, SoFi, and, you know, all these places we go to.

They're phenomenal facilities.

And I think the Steelers, when they do eventually get a new stadium and when they're definitely going to get a new practice facility, I do think they have to pour a lot of resources into that

because they're a flagship NFL franchise.

You don't want to be looked upon in the way they're being looked upon with this bad publicity now.

Now, it's only one day, two days.

People are going to forget about this by the time the weekend's over, but it does seem to come up every single year about this time.

Why not?
