In the least suspenseful outcome since the last time Hank Moody was encountered by a beautiful woman at the supermarket, it was reported earlier this month that the Steelers intend to place the franchise tag on outside linebacker Bud Dupree at the start of the NFL’s new calendar year.
Much like in the old show Californication, the “Will they?” or “Won’t they?” part of the equation involving Dupree’s impending free agency and the Steelers decision was cute, but I think, in the end, we all knew how this would turn out.
