Where is Michael Corleone when we need him?
Somebody needs to speak sense to Steelers fans who are over-the-top angry at Le’Veon Bell for turning down the team’s long-term contract offer that would have made him, far and away, the NFL’s highest-paid running back.
“It’s not personal,” Corleone said famously in “The Godfather” in 1972. “It’s strictly business.”
Wise words that apply to Bell.
I get it that most people can’t fathom how anyone could turn down a five-year, $70 million contract. I’m no different. I can’t even imagine that much money, let alone walking away from it.
