L Bell douchebaggery continues

Post by SOCALSTEEL » Wed Aug 30, 2017 8:39 pm

Now he's rapping outside his house with no shirt on wanting 17 mil per.

If his agent approved that, he needs a new agent.

I mean, wow. I'm guessing he called out AB because AB made some minor criticism of Bell's pursuit of the coin?

Part of me thinks he's trying to convince the Steelers NOT to franchise him next year so he can hit the FA market.

Franchise and trade him next year. It's obvious he's all about LeVeon and that's it. Good luck in free agency. Ask Demarco Murray how well that worked out for him.

He should be all about Leveon.

When did football become an individual sport? Why is it a good idea in a team sport to refuse to communicate with teammates who reach out to you then go on social media and call them out? He is being a shitty teammate.

But I don't think you can trade him until he signs his tag? (which could present a problem).

I think they put a transition tag on him so they can match if the market continues to undervalue RB.

If Bell were to get hurt for 3-4 games in the middle of the year, I'm guessing he's going to cry like no athlete we've ever seen.

If Ben retires, let him leave.

If Ben stays, franchise Bell again.

Fuck him.

And the problem is he was offered a very fair and reasonable contract. It's his right to go after more, but there's no need to be a dick about it, especially to your teammates.

He disrespected his QB/Leader by ignoring his texts.He's in his front yard with no shirt like T.O rapping about making 17 million a year while his teammates are traveling to Carolina for a meaningless game.If you don't think this is at the very least a distraction you are ignorant.This is the type of B.S that divides a locker room.

It was a freestyle challenge on Instagram, he got challenged by AB and Bud Dupree. Sheesh. It was a joke. Thank God it's almost the regular season.

When it comes to money he is under no responsibility to anyone to take less than he feels he's worth.

That Leveon bell money is going to improve this team in ways bell alone could never do.

Blessing for both sides. Steelers get to reinvest in areas of need. Bell apparently gets to transform into T.O. Come on we all knew it would happen

He's responding to Dupree and AB who were talking shit about him earlier. It's a joke.

Is it also a joke not responding to his franchise 2X Super Bowl winning QB?Ben has been quoted multiple time saying that he reached out to Bell giving him support only to be ignored.Yet he can contact other teammates and post IG videos of himself rapping.I get the video is not that big of a deal but it just stacks on to the dumb decisions he has made.

I'm thinking it's a mixture of that, anger at the Hayden signing, and lingering angst about the Game of Thrones finale.

This video means jack shit, but it's already obvious that the Steelers need to move on from Bell. Simple math will tell you that even if Connor or someone drafted next year can be 40 percent as effective as Bell, there's no reason to pay him 10x what they cost. RB performance is so driven by Oline performance, even if bell is a bit of an outlier in the regard, which I do believe. You just can't justify $15M on an RB. If he's stuck on that and can find a dumbass team to give it to him, fine. I wouldn't be terribly surprised. But he might find our offer is the best he will get, too.

So who is he talking to again?

Didn't seem like a joke to me.

Freestyles, rap battles and the vagaries of social media, then... There really isn't any news here. Anybody bother looking at the pro-Steelers rhyme posted shortly after? Or the training images after that? Hint, you won't find them on Steelers Depot, most likely.

I don't understand the lingo, so maybe Bell was just fucking around.
