Reminds me of a great Charles Barkley quote, “When Belichick and Brady leave, y’all team is gonna f*****g suck.” This franchise is pretty safe for the next few years but you have to wonder, how will the the team transition out of the BB/Brady era into a new one. Something to ponder later, but in the meantime…
Here’s everything you need to know about the Pittsburgh Steelers, aka “The Pittsburgh (Antonio) Browns.”
