There's No Way Le'Veon Bell Can Lose His Job To This Guy

Let me just say up front: I like James Conner. Liked him at Pitt, was rooting for him when he bounced back from cancer, he seems like a nice enough guy. But there’s no way Lev Bell is cool with sitting at home watching his offensive line, many of whom trashed him to the media this week for wanting more money, celebrate a run of the mill four yard rushing touchdown against the lowly Browns in week one like they just hoisted Lombardi #7. And while I’m sure everyone on that team thinks shit’s sweet right this second… there’s just no way they’re gonna put up with Conner’s haircut for much longer.

And I say that as someone with incredibly fucked up hair. It makes coworkers super uneasy. Sure when he’s on the field he’s got a helmet on, making it hard to see and easier to deal with. But what about walking around the practice facility? Film rooms? In the lunch room? That’s going to wear thin sooner than later. All Bell needs to do is wait it out. His teammates will be begging for him to get back out there by October the latest.

PS – The body weight rule, which set up this touchdown, is the worst penalty of all time. You basically can only just hug quarterbacks and wait until the refs blow the whistle now I guess? Just awful. We know the NFL is the biggest fan of the laws of physics but this shit’s gotta go.
