“Mongo only pawn in game of life.” -Mongo
If you’ve seen the great Mel Brooks’ movie ‘Blazing Saddles’ then you know that line. I’m not saying Le’Veon Bell is just like Mongo, but I can’t help wonder if he isn’t in a similar spot. Mongo was played of course by NFL Hall of Famer Alex Karras. About the only thing he and Bell have in common is that they have both dabbled in the entertainment business and perhaps that’s where Bell will now place his focus. The idea that the Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t give him a fair offer is laughable and I’m not going to re-visit it.
