    As a Steelers fan, I’d be interested to know how many were Brown, Bell, and Legarrete Blount.

    Blount came in, which was unpopular with quite a few people, seemed to get everyone publicly to smoke weed, become super self-centered and arrogant, and generally be dicks, then was released.

    So take away that one “bad influence,” even if it was just to bring everything out into the open, and I’d like to see where we’re at… Then take away Roethisberger. Basically, see if it was a few shitty people or an “institutional” problem.

      Bell got arrested a few times? I must’ve forgotten. I don’t think it’s an institutional problem for the team. It’s the sport. Too many guys are on roids or have uncontrolled impulses due to CTE so this problem would still exist with the best run teams.

    Is this for active players or past players as well? Also, what about players that played for two teams that have been jailed (Brandon Browner)? Does it count as one for New England and Seattle?

      I think this relates to while players are active with the team. Too messy to track after they leave a team because many players are multi-team players over their lifetime.
