This is the new age in the NFL

I hate the Steelers, but you have to respect the Roony Family. The NFL should have some "grandfather law" for them.

Avoid gambling interests?
This is just window dressing. There is more money bet on a single NFL season(individual games, fantasy leagues, office pools, superbowl coin flips, etc.) than most entire countries generate in a decade.

worried about gambeling intersts but not cheating. placing attention on the wrong matters i think.

no steelers fan either but much respect for the rooney's.

we've been SPAMMED!!!!!

Shake and bake, I love it!

As much as I don't like the Steelers, I hope the Rooney family finds a way to keep the team.

The days of owning an NFL team as the family business are almost over. The owners will increasingly be successful businessmen who want to won teams like in Washington and Dallas. The dinosaurs like former Colts/Ravens Art Modell are almost gone. It's better because they can put more of the proceeds into a better team and stadium. Now if the McCaskeys would just sell the Bears. I'm tired of those penny pinching SOBs!

Hey its still better than having the Brown family, Al Davis, Bud Adams, Georgia Fronteairie (sp), the Irsays, etc. Ohhhhh....I forgot....Kevin McClatchy and the Nuttings....cannot rip owners in other cities without calling out the Burgh's own deadbeats

The story says that Dan Rooney made an offer that some of his relatives thought came in on the short side. Yap to the ones forced to sell out that it needs to be kept in the family then low ball them on your offer! Nice way to act.....

Mark it down, this is the beginning of the end for the Rooney Era.

God forbid there's association with racetracks or gambling interests. Racing was "the Chief's" bread and butter back in the day. More politically correct bullsh*t. The Steelers are the Rooneys and the Roonys are a class act. I have faith Dan will work things out.

YODA genius is. LETSGOPENS, You are NOT supposed to know that about the Chief. Even if it is true. I have no problem with the Steelers. My question is if the Rooneys are such a "class act" why can't they invest in the same stuff as the rest of us? Or do their political connections in Western Pennsylvania help them get gambling licenses or other help from the government? My blog talks about over $60 Billion bet illegally on sports annually. That is TOO much and needs to be used elsewhere and controlled.

Insane Hussein......LetsGo Pens was talking about what the Rooneys have done for the NFL and Pittsburgh. Just a shame the rest of the family don't have Dan's scruples.....

The Rooney's do not have a gambling license in Pa. That and if you think that there are no ther corrupt investments or investors out there, I have a very nice bridge to sell you. Of course, they could just invest in those companies that have moved all of their jobs overseas or to Mexico for cheap labor I guess.

Dan is the epitome of class.

I hope the Rooneys are able to retain full control of the team. Them not owning the Steelers is just WRONG. They've always been a class act, IMHO.
