I hope that he never earns half of the money he turned down.

You're way too emotional about some one else's paycheck that you receive zero dollars from.

I'm not emotional about it at all. I just think that he's being greedy and I hope that he gets burned for his actions. I can't stand Bell or the Steelers. If Bell died tomorrow or the Steelers franchise closed their doors forever tomorrow, I would just say good riddanced and go on. It's just the principle of these players turning down more money per year than most people see in a lifetime because they think that they're worth more. That is pure greed. What can Bell do with$80 million that he can't do with $70 million? Either amount is more money than he and his kids and his kids kids can ever spend, so what's the point of the whole thing? Greed! Nothing but greed!

Maybe LB doesn't like the Steelers organization? Maybe it's personal? Maybe it's because Todd Halley is no longer the Steelers OC and LB is pissed off about it?

Maybe so. But if so, he could have worked something out with them where he signs the tag if they agree to trade him. But he didn't even do that. Besides, that is pure speculation. We have no idea if he feels that way.

Yes you are. Wishing permanent physical injury because you do like another's choice on how they handle their own future potential earnings is getting overly emotional. Emotionally unhealthy to be more accurate.

Then you look at the fact that you don't know the person, will never know the person and receive zero emotional, physical or financial support from them makes it even worse. You have zero vested interest but act as if you are losing something if he doesn't make a deal that you deem, for yourself I might add, to be fair. Saying you're being too emotional about it is just being nice.
