The Pittsburgh Steelers were called the league leader in “drama” by Dan Patrick on his sports talk radio show on Friday. I enjoy Dan Patrick’s show and, although his point was valid—the Steelers have had lots of issues this season which didn’t actually involve football—the crux of his argument also was flawed.
Patrick talked about how other teams have handled distractions and off-field issues, but cited the Steelers as taking the cake. He brought up all of the issues from the past 3-4 years. Le’Veon Bell’s suspensions, Antonio Brown’s Facebook Live incident, Ben Roethlisberger’s retirement talk, Bell’s preseason holdout, and on, and on, and on.
