Hello, pot. This is the kettle. You're black. That's what I thought of when I heard the Steelers complaining about the turf in the Rogers Centre. The same Steelers who's grass at Heinz Field is just about the worst in the NFL. Remember the Monday Night game played in the mud bog against the Dolphins? Remember the team's decision to NOT replace that cow pasture with a synthetic surface like Fieldturf? It'll be grass again this season. Can't wait for those November games when Ben Roethlisberger will have to be listed 2 inches shorter because his feet have sunk in to the mud.
Granted, the turf in the Rogers Centre is unlike any other in the NFL. Because they play baseball on it, its a much lower blade of synthetic grass. Because it gets removed, it was a bit matted down and there were more seams than a normal NFL field. But no one appeared to trip, stumble or was injured during the preseason game. It actually might make the players faster, because its easier to cut on.
But Roethlisberger and Leftwich should have kept quiet. After all, its the Dolphins problem now.
