Apparently the Steelers plan had to make an emergency landing on the way back home.
Seems like the FBI raid on Williams was false but they really raided Peterman in an investigation of him defrauding several organizations into thinking he was an NFL quarterback.
On point #2, having a competitive team goes a long way there. I think there was such a high level of shenanigans during the drought years because there wasn't much to pay attention to on the field. Combine that with cheap tickets and people would go just for the tailgating and it would easily get out of hand.
I thought it was in the area that cuts through to the Wings lot. I know after that happened the Wings lot was forced to remove that metal bridge the made just a few years earlier that crossed the creek.
Hard to believe it was 10 years ago already. I just remember when the story came out that it seemed like it was a simple case of someone drunk falling into water and not being able to get up. It got more complicated when his brother or whatever family was with him said that he doesn't drink at all and he got tossed for getting in an altercation with a group in the bathroom. Just a lot that didn't seem to add up from what was made public.
The Dolphins fan that was found dead in the creek after getting tossed out was probably the closest thing that happened. Not sure if the entire story on that was ever really figured out.
I took a human anatomy class in college a year or two after it happened and there was a whole part dedicated to sports injuries… we had to watch it several times one class.
Why? Just so he can get tackled 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage on a delayed draw? The OL, play calling, and play design all need to be improved before a highly paid running back would make much of a difference on this team.
