Sports Beat (Randle El Interview)

[83-Steelers-43]

For those in the FSN Pittsburgh viewing area, just a reminder that Stan Savern will be interviewing Randle El tonight. He's also taking phone calls, should be very interesting.

I met him too in indy and got an autograph (more steelers fans than IU fans ). and i also agree, he is a nice person and i also wish him the best. i saw his press conference when he finally got to the skins and he was very gracious to the steelers and their fans.

A friend of mine that went to I.U. played some pickup basketball with El before. My friend always had the nicest things to say about Randel El. El is also from around the Chicago area. He went to high school not to far from where I live.

El was a great person and a fan favorite. I met him a few times and he's a wonderful person to be around..

but he left us now, left the team that helped make him an NFL star and the team he got a SB win with....so I dont care anymore !

I completely agree with you on that. When these guys turn in their BlackNGold, I care nothing about them anymore. I have worn an EL jersey since '03. Now, my main objective is getting his name off that jersey. This is also the reason I worship the name on the front of the jersey not the name on the back of the jersey. From now on all jerseys bought by me will have no name on them and it will say #1 Steeler Fan on the back. Free agency is not going anywhere soon and the loyalty that the teams used to have is also gone. In future years you will see few, if any players like Bettis who took a paycut to help the team out. It is all about money, nothing more, nothing less.

i will only buy jerseys of players who have established themselves with the steelers.
but my next jersey will have my name on it.
the nfl shop makes Pittsburgh Steelers Customized Replica Jerseys.

Not trying to make waves but didnt we have a chance to match the offer? I mean does El deserve a pay rasie or not? I am not saying we should have kept him but we did have the option. Anyway El helped us get where we got last year so I wish the best for him. Bad thing is i bought his jersey for my 4 year old little girl now i got to go get another one

i just got an authentic heath miller, i think he is established to stick around for a good while
