    Don't try to get fake mad .... stop it Kenny.

        Never underestimate your opponent. Upsets happen. Stay the course.

          “Nobody looks at the spread of the game”

          Uhhhhhh.....really Von?!?!?

          The fact is that EVERYBODY looks at the spread of EVERY game. And million of dollars are riding on that every week.

          Sports betting is a multi BILLION $ business.

          And yes, Pittsburgh is a HUGE “underdog”.

          Yeah, the clip is funny, but Von sounds a little clueless.

            I think he's talking about players. They don't look at that stuff. Hell, in his interview with Kyle Brandt this week Josh didn't even know we play the Chiefs next week.

              Yeah....I know that. He would be better off if he referred to what the players think.

              Still he sounds out of touch with what the fans (and just about the entire sorts world) think and spreads. And the idea that the Steelers are not “underdogs” and he is *****ing about Kenny Pickett stating the obvious is really lame.

                  He meant the players, notaclue.

                        Yes, he does.


                        And you truncating my quote is lame.

                        This is what I actually wrote......"Still he sounds out of touch with what the fans (and just about the entire sorts world) think (about) spreads.”

                        Even the article that you presented questions Miller’s comments....the first paragraph after the tweet that had Von’s comments...

                        Not sure exactly what Miller is trying to do here. The Steelers are a 14-point underdog. That 14-point spread is the biggest of the season for any game in the NFL, and the biggest for the Steelers since 1969

                        “Why is he looking at the spread? Nobody looks at the spread of the game, like, nobody’s looking at none of that. We’re just getting ready to play the Steelers,” said Miller. “Don’t try to get fake mad at... don’t try to get crazy on us, man. Nobody thinks you’re underdogs, Kenny.

                        As being the biggest underdogs in a game since 1969, a lot more people are talking about the Steelers being an underdog than Miller thinks, especially since it’s the biggest one of the season.


                        Von Miller should have a nice career in broadcasting after he finally retires. He is going to have clean up his communication skills before that.



                        If he wants to put forward the idea that the team take every game seriously, and the PLAYERS do not necessarily pay attention to the spread or who is underdog (which I don’t believe for a second), then he should have said that.

                        In these comments, he sounded like he has only a glancing relationship with English and is in denial of reality.

                          Totally disagree with notacon. Listening to that before reading the comments, I understood he meant the players don't pay attention to underdogs and point spreads, right away.

                          Nothing wrong with his english, and his sense of reality is quite tuned to the moment.

                          Those are my perceptions, which I'm quite comfortable with.

                            I'll change my mind and agree with notacon. Almost everyone thinks they're underdogs and rightfully so. What I think Von is trying to do is downplay it so he and the team don't also view it that way and take them lightly. And I'd much rather have him do that than say "yeah, you are."
