Yesterday was our first opportunity of the offseason to hear from Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II, and you can guess what topic he was asked to discuss. In conversation with Pittsburgh Post-Gazette journalist Gerry Dulac, he had a lengthy talk about wide receiver Antonio Brown and his understanding of the situation as it currently stands.
One of the noteworthy pieces in Dulac’s article, however, didn’t seem necessarily come directly from Rooney, and is the first that I’m aware of that this paper in particular mentioned it. I previously wrote an article in which Colin Dunlap said that players were mad about the possibility of Head Coach Mike Tomlin allowing Brown to play despite skipping practice.
