Live from Delaware, it’s Saturday Night! I, NAS204PSU, am here at BTSC
to bring you this Saturday Night Open Thread (aka SNOT).For those in Daylight savings areas in the US, we’ll be time traveling forward, losing an hour to gain more in light advent. NFL teams are also practicing addition by subtraction with many teams releasing or trading players. The Steelers are no exception, cutting Jonnu Smith and Calvin Anderson this past week. Things are only going to get more interesting from here as evidenced
by AFC North rival Baltimore sending 2 picks for pash rusher Maxx Crosby. (Didn’t believe this at first, thought it was a spoof Shefter account)
This 5 pack of questions (have to skip one, for obvious reasons) is here to get the conversation going, so let us know what you’re eating/drinking!
1: The Crosby trade has many wondering what the market for TJ Watt would be given his massive contract (42 million 2026 cap from 30 mil guaranteed base and 10 mil pro-rated bonus). Although I don’t believe we will do this, what would be a good but realistic return for trading the 31-year-old pass rusher (players? picks?).
2. Jdrau57 is rejoicing that Jonnu Smith will be moving on from the black and gold. Which imported Steelers player wore out their welcome the fastest in your eyes? (For clarity: it can be EITHER traded OR a free agent signing OR anyone who didn’t start their career with the Steelers)
3. A month ago, fellow SBNation site “Blogging the Boys” wrote up their top grievances from the Dallas Mike McCarthy era. Which of these most worries you? Which one is just delusional DalLOSS fans expecting too much from a team that hasn’t been very relevant since the last century?
4. Congratulations to our new full-time BTSC Site Producer: Jarett Bailey. If you were know as a “producer”, what would you “produce”?
5. Salvador Dali’s “The Persistence of Memory” has long been one of my favorite works of art, and a poster of it was a long time wall adornment in my dorm and bachelor pads in my early 20s. Do you have a favorite painting or work of art? Bonus if you include a link so we can easily view it.
BONUS: Turn Turn Turn – The Byrds (with Crosby on rhythm guitar and harmony vocals)
