It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Yep, Triggerfish (and Dino Six Rings) have been around for a long time and are okay. Now the rest of the Steelers' fanbase, that perhaps may be different - though that may be skewed by an overly vocal minority. But Trigger is definitely not a troll in my opinion.

Maybe Marshall punched his ticket out of town with the latest problem. What would you guys give up for him?
Wrong. Marshall saved McDaniel's a** this year. The guy has been other-worldly this season and the Broncos wouldn't even be in the playoff discussion without him IMO. Not giving him the Cutler treatment must have been a bitter pill for Josh to swallow, but ultimately he made the right decision (or was forced to). Now that it's all falling apart on Josh, somebody (Marshall) has to be the scapegoat. What a gutsy move by the boy coach.
"I pretty much knew (I would be inactive) Wednesday when I tweaked my hamstring," Marshall told reporters after McDaniels' press conference. "I made it through this whole year healthy and it's sad to come down to the last game and to have an injury that keeps you out of the game, especially a big-time game."......While an MRI on Marshall's hamstring showed no tear, the wide receiver said concerns about the team's handling of a hip injury last season, which required surgery, made him apprehensive to play through yet another injury and risk more damage.
It's hard to argue with a 2-7 finish and not playing in the playoff deciding game. That's some good chemistry there, all right.
What's this got to do with teams lacking integrity?
You think every teams play by the rules and treats every player fairly?
Dude, it's all about wins and losses.
Disagree. McDaniels handled the Cutler scenario perfectly fine IMO. Cutler was the the fool in this episode and continues to be so on the field. Despite his cannon arm he has a peanut for a brain and continually makes bad throws trusting his 'talent'.I think you might be giving McDaniel's too much credit here. Josh "got his" too. That club was in total disarray coming into this season, after HE came in and ran Cutler outta town. And although I agree that Cutler could have handled it better, I'd have been pissed too if I were in his shoes, with the way McDaniels handled everything. Let's call a spade a spade though. There was no way in hell McDaniels was keeping Marshall sidelined long. He needed some redemption from the organization and the fans too, and he knew that likely wasn't possible without his star WR. This isn't a case of a coach being all sweet and charitable and letting the poor troubled player have another shot. It was just as much about saving his own ***** and therefore benefited him just as much (if not more) than Marshall. This whole thing between those two this season seems like a couple of schoolyard bullies who like to get their way, having a "stand-off" at the monkey bars at recess. Regardless, both sides will likely get their way in the end. McDaniels will be rid of his "nuisance" player, and Marshall will get out of Denver and get paid. It's such a happy ending, I'm tearing up a little.
There's more to the story-o. Marshall says he has a pulled hamstring, that's why he doesn't want to play.
so what's up with that? I mean players do get injured, and a pulled hamstring is kind of hard to play through.
So he "benches" him? How does that make sense? He wasn't goign to play anyway.
How many games did bm not play when Denver was on it's winning streak early in the season? If it was a lot wits to lose?
