I just learned that Offensive Tackle, Alejandro Villanueva has reached a two year deal with the Baltimore Ravens.
It's quite a steal for us to get the two time pro bowler from the Steelers, our biggest rival.
The deal amounts to $14 million and $8 mill of it is guaranteed.
I'm really happy with this and I think that the man will be a huge asset for the Ravens.
Lets just hope the coaches know how to use him the right way.
How you feeling today Steelers fans lol?
Sorry had to get a playful dig in there lol.

Well, as a Philadelphian, I am fine with it. I have not watched many Steelers games since Matt Bahr was still playing. And I have not watched any football games since they became politicized. Sadly, the NFL has forgotten that their fan base consists of multiple demographics. But I wish your Ravens the best of luck next season.

I know a lot of people that stopped when that happened. I just tune it out because I love the game itself. I think Philly might actually make something of themselves this year though if that helps.

@JordanLader It would be nice if they did. They made a mistake when they let go of Nick Foles.
A friend of mine and I did try to watch this past Super Bowl. But the opening ceremony was so bad we changed the channel shortly after they FINALLY got around to singing "The Star-Spangled Banner." It was appalling how they late waited to have someone perform our national anthem. We also did not like the commercials because the messaging and casting were not diverse enough.
"Black Is Beautiful" and "Black Lives Matter." But that's because life matters and everything is beautiful. So, no fan should feel excluded while watching his favorite game. Hopefully, the NFL and its sponsors will focus more on the diversity of its fan base next season. But, given the state of our union right now, I seriously have my doubts.

@Chellezhere You're right about that. I usually watch everything from pregame to the very end when they throw the confetti but I just couldn't this time. The whole pregame show was way too targeted and really just annoying to me. I'll probably be in the wrong for saying that but it's how I felt.
