Late Saturday evening, two important developments transpired. First, the Steelers reportedly agreed in principle to trade Antonio Brown, ostensibly the last remaining indignant element in Pittsburgh’s fractured locker room, to the Oakland Raiders—which, you know, thank God. We’ve collectively spent the better part of two months watching in intrigued horror as the situation between Brown and the Steelers devolved from tenuous but potentially salvageable to beyond disrepair, so very truthfully the conclusion of these acrimonious proceedings is good for our emotional well-being. We can now shift our attention to free agency, or the draft, or the Penguins’ dubious playoff prospects, or even the Pirates, an organization from which we’re at least accustomed to unceasing disappointment.
