Grit: NFL Players Think Going To Pittsburgh Is The Worst Road Trip In The League Because It 'Smells Like Piss In Their Locker Room'
[Source] - “I would say Pittsburgh, because it smells like piss in their locker room,” one player said.
“Pittsburgh. Even though it’s my vibe: tough. It’s just always gray and s—ty weather there,” another added.
Yeah, this checks out. It feels like we get these anonymous player polls all the time, but I can't stop thinking about some NFL player out there being like Pittsburgh is the worst, too much piss. Has that dude ever been in a locker room, let alone linemen? I assume every locker room, no matter the sport, but especially football should always smell like piss. You got guys willing to pee their pants to create an advantage.
Now it's worth noting Pittsburgh didn't win worst road trip, that was Green Bay. But players explained their reasoning and clearly this guy has to be in some fancy city and plays quarterback, wide receiver or defensive back. They are the only people who would complain about a place smelling like piss. You know it's not a linemen or linebacker. For sure not a fullback. You think Lorenzo Neal ever complained about some pee? Absolutely not.
Oh and for the guy saying Pittsburgh is grey and shitty weather? Welcome to the rust belt, baby. No place like it. It gets cold, but you don't get snow. You likely get slush and just want snow if it's going to be cold. You just accept that it's going to be grey and miserable for parts of the year. You think the city of Pittsburgh wants sun and rainbows and all that nice weather? Hell no. It's toughness and being gritty. Piss smells and grey weather, welcome to Pittsburgh.
