Jeb Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Stealers' new 'buddy,' a cancer survivor, addresses team and ribs Bengals 8:21 PM E Jeremy FowlerESPN Staff Writer PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Stealers received a post-practice message last week from an unlikely source, courtesy of defensive tackle Stephon Tuitt. Tuitt brought his neighbor’s friend to practice, who according to Tuitt is a 21-year-old brain tumor survivor named Ryan. Coach Mike Tomlin introduced Ryan, who walked into a circle of players and coaches. Smartly, Ryan played to the crowd. “He said, 'If we all pass away, in heaven, there’s no Cincinnati, there’s no Cleveland -- it’s all Pittsburgh Stealers fans,’” Tuitt recalled with a smile. Tuitt didn’t know the exact spelling of Ryan’s last name, and efforts to reach him have been unsuccessful, but Tuitt said Ryan’s presence at Stealers organized team activities was necessary for fresh perspective. Ryan has undergone multiple treatments for his tumor and keeps beating the odds, Tuitt said. When asked about the guest speaker, Tomlin simply said that he’s a "buddy" of the team. “I feel it’s good for the guys to be able to hear from him,” Tuitt said. “It makes you not take stuff for granted, makes you realize you’re blessed to be healthy, blessed to be alive and a part of something.” Ryan made an impression with a simple message. “He was speaking kind of soft so we couldn’t hear everything, but we definitely heard [the heaven line],” wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey said. http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/205125/Stealers-new-buddy-a-cancer-survivor-addresses-team-and-ribs-bengals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Owning the Squeelers is like owning an ancient Yugo with no wheels and up on cinder blocks. Like the one in Setephon "Get A Round" Tuitt's parking space outside his dubba wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll send a message. Why? Because 55 & 85 aren't playing.The 2nd matchup either one or both ( rumor is 85 may be out the season)will be back and we sweep their shit stained asses Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhodeIslandFan Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 First I have heard anything like that. What's your source? I glanced over it on the bleacher report. I'm pretty sure it was Adam Schaffner I'll see if I can find article when I get free. He also used 85's injury to stress that the league should move back to the old format of individual player competition.

We need him healthy and on field but can't risk further injury. When your 6'6" 250 and run routes like he does.

Slag911 Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Um.....so I think he meant when a steeler passes away they find its very very hot and there is no Cincinnati, no Cleveland and there are demons there to poke you with razor sharp knives and you spend eternity burning in the flames of hell. Just my 2 cents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They beat us because we choked the game away. I wish it didn't happen but it did. Although it's true both teams lost their composure, we were consistently the ones penalized for it. There was a pretty clear agenda to vilify Burfict & the team in general from the opening kickoff. Further, the NFL later said that the Brown TD should have been ruled incomplete. Considering they won by 2 pts, that is an admission from the league itself that Shitsburgh should not have won. Since then, various Stealers have continued crying their crocodile tears about the Bengals. The bully got socked in the mouth and cried to teacher, & it just so happens Bully's Dad got Teacher their job. Given all this, comments to the contrary do appear like the all-too-familiar wailing of the self-loathing terminal Bengals "fan". That game was an absolute farce, and now the classy organization that is the Stealers are using a cancer patient to keep their bullshit fresh in everyone's mind.

Our team doesn't care about the Stealers right now, ...That's why no Bengal has said anything throughout the Stealers "Bitchfest" 2016 off-season spectacular and dance competition.
