A pretty normal request, right? But this wasn’t the typical signing meant exclusively to be on display 24/7 in a fan cave. It wasn’t on an 8x10 glossy, a Pittsburgh Steelers helmet or scribbled across numbers on a JuJu replica jersey. This request actually answered Myron Cope’s long-standing question to callers on his radio show back in the day...”What’s on your cranium?”. Yes, my friends, Joel Schock of Lancaster, has the Steelers’ standout Kevin Greene Jersey , third-year receiver’s penmanship emblazoned on his noggin forever. With media later in the day, No. 19 recalled the memorable exchange. “He had the Steelers logo like tattooed in his head, so he had a mohawk,” Smith-Schuster said. “And he was like, Can you sign my helmet?’, I’m like, ‘What helmet? What are you talking about?’ I signed his head, like his actual head. Sharpie, all that. I don’t think he’s gonna shower for the next week.”When a reporter suggested that the fan could possibly immortalize JuJu’s “John Hancock” on his mohawked melon with a tattoo Lynn Swann Jersey , an inspired Smith-Schuster replied, “He might, honestly. If he does, that’s lit. If he gets that tattooed on his head, I’ll get him any tickets to any game so if he’s out there watching this ... yes.”I guess you could call this a perfect case of “Schock-value” because after the fan returned home and had his tattoo artist permanently seal the signature into his skull, JuJu held up more than his end of the bargain. Schock didn’t just receive tickets to any game, he got tickets to every game in the form of season tickets.The headline to this article might be somewhat deceiving because I’m not going to bash or belittle this particular fan experience at all. I have no problem with it. I personally wouldn’t do it, but I’m not going to belittle a person for even the most extreme passionate display of one’s fandom, as long as it is not harmful to others. In fact Bud Dupree Jersey , I have a Steelers tattoo on my person. The difference is that you won’t see it unless you’re at a pool with me or you are a peeping tom and are checking me out as I exit the shower. I’m also an avid collector of Steeler autographs, but I’d rather put them on the wall for show and not be the display case. Sure it is a great conversation piece, but not ideal for church or job interviews. Plus it limits one’s modeling options. I’d also rather pay the steep price of season tickets should I choose by whipping out plastic or cold, hard cash than with my flesh. I’m 47 and my mother, wife and daughter objected over my recently growing a beard, head-ink would only get me grief.So if I’m cold with it, why the headline? I respect Joel Schock’s originality. I’m even okay with the fact that the Lancasterinan will be a face of extreme Steeler fandom. Do I think it’s worthy of season tickets, not really. But JuJu does and the act was original. What I do have a problem with is copycats coming out of the woodwork like cockroaches to an old sandwich. And yes, it has already happened. Another fan had James Conner sign his name high on her chest and below her shoulder. She David DeCastro Jersey , too, made it forever with a tattoo. I don’t believe that this particular fan was compensated with tickets or memorabilia. But jumping on the bandwagon and following suit with a crazy stunt for possible reward or brief media civerage is disconcerting to me.Will this attention-seeking continue? My bet is that it is highly likely. Will it grow tired fast? Yes, it already has. Be a crazy Steeler fan for all I care. Just do something different. If you’ll now excuse me, my number has been called to get my Ramon Foster tramp stamp and the media is waiting. Barring one or two obvious injury concerns, the Pittsburgh Steelers appear to be in relatively good health as they prepare to face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 9. Marcus Gilbert returned to practice as a full participant in training on Wednesday, while Coty Sensabaugh, Bud Dupree and Ben Roethlisberger all found themselves on the opening injury report of the week after they sat out practice.The inclusion of Sensabaugh was always expected after he was forced from the game against the Cleveland Browns in the second half with a toe injury, as was that of Roethlisberger with a fracture index finger on his left hand. While Wednesday is traditionally a rest day for the quarterback, it would not be a surprise to see him miss some more practice time in the coming days. It can only be hoped that a new illness for Dupree will be short lived and he will be good to go by Sunday Darrius Heyward-Bey Jersey , especially with the Steelers so limited at outside linebacker. Maurkice Pouncey should be back at work on Thursday after being the recipient of his usual veteran rest day. The return of Gilbert as a full participant to start the week bodes well for his involvement on Sunday. If he can repeat the feat again over the next few days, there should be little concern about his availability in Week 9. On the other side of the field, there is a chance the Ravens could be missing some keyplayers when they host Pittsburgh.
