Le’Veon Bell went bowling all night after Jets ruled him out with flu

Le’Veon Bell was too ill to bowl over Dolphins defenders on Sunday afternoon, but not to knock down some pins late Saturday.

The Jets running back, who missed Sunday’s win because of the flu, spent Saturday night at a New Jersey bowling alley, according to sources. One source also had photos that show Bell at his lane.

Bell missed practice Thursday and Friday and was ruled out of the game on Saturday because he was dealing with the flu. Jets coach Adam Gase said the team sent him home Friday to avoid getting other players sick. Gase also said Bell was not present at Saturday’s team walk-through. He was not seen at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, when the Jets beat the Dolphins 22-21.

As a lifelong Steelers fan I just have to say, thank you sweet Jesus that this guy did not sign the overly generous deal that the team was offering him. It has been addition by subtraction, especially in the team culture department. Same with that nutjob Antonio Brown.

Sure has. Were it not for the incredible slew of injuries they might well be contending for the top playoff seed. As it is they remain in the Wild Card race.

I’m a lifelong Redskins fan who has been quietly backing out the door and have been dividing my loyalties between the Steelers and the Ravens the last few years. It won’t matter if they give Bruce Allen the bum’s rush and prop up Vince Lombardi’s bones on the sideline, Washington will be a sacrificial wild card lamb at best and a league doormat at worst for as long as Daniel Snyder owns the team. An entire book could be written about the WTF? decisions he’s made in the last twenty years. When The Squire of Middleburg owned and ran that team, season tickets could take years to get, the waiting list was that long. (I know, I was on it.) Now the stadium is half empty and scalpers are lucky to get $10 for the nosebleed seats. (One good thing about growing up equidistant from all three cities; the bars back home almost always have a reason to throw playoff parties in January.)

I'm not familiar with the specifics of this case but in general if a player does not practice by Friday, he will not be in the game. He could recover fully by Saturday but the gameplan doesn't include him and he will not play. It's possible Bell was already feeling better on Friday but the team didn't want to risk injury or (worse) getting the rest of the team sick and just told him to stay home. And if so, he could have been bowling on Sunday and it's not a case of him faking an illness or anything like that.

Or maybe he's goldbricking, I don't know.

He did not see this ball while he was there. It can only be seen at Brunswick Zone in Upland.

It’s one thing to go bowling if you’re sick; it’s something else to play football. If you’re congested and you repeatedly run up and down the field, you can get bronchitis, not to mention that you probably can’t go full speed to begin with.

On the other hand, he may have greater respect for his teammates than he does for the general public if he’s contagious.
