Looks like the Columbus Crew are getting Modell'd to Austin. THE original MLS franchise going out like that. Just terrible. I hope the league does something but I doubt it.
I just don't think the value is there when it comes to trading Bryant. He hasn't produced this season and he's a major risk to get suspended for drugs. Teams aren't going to offer much for that. I'd just keep him around knowing that he is a big play threat and eventually Big Ben will start connecting with him again on some of the deep shots. They've missed on a quite a few this year.
Nice to see the Steelers bounce back against KC. There's still something missing though. Even games where they dominate play (Ravens, Chiefs etc.) it isn't translating into many points.
That something missing is Ben not being a top tier QB anymore, or at least this part of the season. His decline has forced him to be a game manager.
The league most likely wants the team to move.

I heard an interview with the author of that article. Really good stuff.
Not a huge MLS fan, but having raised kids who played soccer at a high level through high school, often in C-bus, and going to several Crew games, Columbus is a really good soccer town. Would be a shame to see them move when their fan support is pretty good.
It's a ****show. A lot I could type but to keep it short, the owner had always intended to move the team and is really showing his sleazy businessman attitude right now. The players didn't even find out about it until today through social media and the guy is flying to Austin to do some PR and promote the move.
https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/quarterback-salaries-cap-hits-highest-paid-playersThis is why I always cringe at large contracts given to 30+ athletes. You never know when their time is going to be up, as Bettis once stated: "Each body can only take certain number of hits before it's done".
Ben is making 23 million + plus this year. Take away his past, which was magnificent, that is a HUGE overpay for his production.
I’d take cousins in a heartbeat going forward. If ben is going to retire after this year, the Steelers should definitely pursue him, IMO.
How much are you willing to pay him? He's been going year to year with Washington because he wants to break the bank. Is Kirk Cousins really the QB you want to throw that kind of money at?
I'm firmly convinced that drafting a QB is the way to go. Let the 9ers throw silly money at Cousins and be disappointed.
Mike Mitchell got fined nearly 50K for his hit on Alex Smith but he is appealing. I hope he loses.
Marshawn Lynch runs off the bench to get involved in a scrum on the field, puts his hands on a ref, gets ejected, then leaves the arena before the game is over.
This is the man that sits for the anthem like it's not even happening. What a great guy.
And people wonder why the NFL is hemorrhaging viewers.
What is the hockey equivalent?Didn't watch - but hilarious. NFL should come down hard on him, too. They can't get their image right and it's damaging their product.
