Some Pittsburgh sports fans are tired of the Aaron Rodgers situation. Others are sick of criticism aimed at Evgeni Malkin.

And there are quite a few who say “enough is enough” when it comes to expansion of the NFL schedule.

But one thing our readers can never get enough of? Obviously, it’s “U mad, bro?”

Here’s this week’s edition.

We start with a Steelers fan in North Carolina who has grown fatigued of the Aaron Rodgers watch.

The reason for that, Spicoli, is that even though Art Rooney II’s nose is worth billions of dollars, it couldn’t sniff out a better quarterback than a 42-year-old Rodgers if his life depended on it.

Here’s a guy who responded to our web poll about how long the NFL season should be.

I’d rather bring back NFL replacement refs, the NHL glow puck and the dunking ban in college basketball before I bring back the fourth preseason game.

I’m all for rolling the NFL regular season back to 16 games, but extending the preseason to four weeks sounds like a felony offense to me.

This “Hockey Guy” has an interesting take on the NFL schedule.

Why does it have to be an even number? The Steelers can go 9-8 this year with Aaron Rodgers and 9-9 next year with Drew Allar – and do you know what we will be able to say in both cases?

“Don’t you know Mike McCarthy has never had a losing season with the Steelers?!”

This person disagrees with my assessment that it’s time for the Penguins to move on from Evgeni Malkin.

He is on the power play. Look at Egor Chinakhov. Maybe even Ben Kindel.

Someone named “@WestEndBoy66” is dubious of the Penguins’ new ownership group.

Yeah, that’s a concern. Then again, they only have to spend up to a $104 million cap. Not whatever the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees feel like spending in a given season.

“Jefferson Washington” is really high on Steelers rookie receiver Germie Bernard.

That’s either a very positive picture to paint of Bernard and Michael Pittman Jr, or a massive backhanded jab at DK Metcalf… and the lengths the Steelers went to acquire him.

Finally, back to the NFL schedule, Robert isn’t happy with Patriots owner Robert Kraft pushing for an 18-game season.

“Tim, the greed is outrageous. Especially coming from a billionaire. It reminds me of a Bond movie, ‘The World is Not Enough.’ What happens when the billionaires become trillionaires and have all the money? What happens next? An incredible money grab.”

You asked, “What happens when the billionaires become trillionaires and have all the money?”

Robert, they have all the money now. They have had it forever. Those billionaires who are becoming trillionaires were once only millionaires.

What happens? We’ll watch the 18th game. That’s what will happen. NFL owners may be Bond villains. But they know their customers.

Now, speaking of “The World is Not Enough,” how did Denise Richards get snubbed for an Oscar for her role as Dr. Christmas Jones?

Highway robbery.

I rest my case.
