I heard the Steelers signed Michael Vick to a 10 year contract. They're also going to relocate the stadium next to his jail cell so he can pass the ball from inside. That'd fix our O-Line issue. Nothing like a large fence with barbed wire and a concrete wall to protect your quarterback. And don't forget the armed guards.
Even if it's not a joke, what can it hurt??? I'm not saying that Ben or Batch have to worry about their jobs but this guy HAD a lot of talent. Just an idea, but remember when Kordell was still slash, it might not hurt to have a trick up our sleeves if needed. I'll probably catch some heat for this, but why not give him a chance, hell, have Ben go through his couch cushions to pay for him this year.
This is Not True Steelers Did not Sign him, it was a mistake just Like the Posting Of Booger McFarland was, Get your Facts Straight before Posting this garbage
If that were true, why not go a head and sign Dante Culpepper, trade a first round draft pick for Shaun Alexander and persue Matt "they should have made me a quarterback" Jones while they are at it................?
Guys, relax...it was an April Fools joke. As I said earlier, they give it away in the last line of that article with the guy whose name is "April Fool" backwards (Lou Flirpa).
I was gonna go to wikipedia, change it so that it says we signed him, and then use it as a refernce to see if you guys believe it but someone beat me to the punch
2008
On April 1, 2008, Brooks was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers
Worse lier then Bill Belichick, Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Richard Nixon, and Bill Callahan (slitting the throat motion at a ref caught on camera and he denied it), nothing personal, this just seems to bizarre to believe, however if it is true I will admit I was wrong and shove the foot in the mouth. I apoligize, got-rings I'm just messin with ya and I hope you don't take this the wrong way
Maybe we're dealing with Stephen Glass, he went so far to make up websites, numbers, people, voicemails, etc.
First of all I don’t believe that we signed Aaron brooks, after all we had a better version of him in Mr. Slash, and he did not work out, so I don’t think we are going to pick up a downgraded version of Kordell.
if this was true, then i think mr rooney might have to get checked out or sent to the old folks home! put him in a chair next to al davis if this was true!! i could smell april fools all over this post!
Steelfan26- Your hostility is wasted on me. I just went a long with the whole april fools thing and it was a harmless post. Im not going to apologize and if you get this worked up over something like this maybe you should try something a little less troubling to kill time with. In defense of the Booger McFarland signing that one was up on the steelergridiron site and was from,I believe (dont hunt me down if Im wrong;), from the post-gazette. So I was going with a normally reliable resource on that one and my knowledge is, for the most part, well researched and justifiable. So just take a deep breath and relax, this is just a message board.
