I didn't read the whole document, but the summary makes fun of the alcohol requirements. Aren't these related to the new NFL policy prohibiting alcohol from being served at any team event?

This is really a non-story. Is anyone surprised by this? I would expect that every team does something quite similar. Football players like routine, and it makes complete sense to set up the same routine for each game.

What team would want its players emptying out the mini-bar the night before the game, or the morning of the game? What team would want to allow incoming calls to its players from drunk fans of the opposing team at 2:00 AM? (Maybe teams like the Cardinals and Lions do that.) This seems like much ado about nothing.

I dunno, I thought it was kind of interesting how Steely McBeam requires hi hotel room to be stocked with a glass bowl containing only orange skittles.

I think it's interesting how much the teams feel they have to control their players.

I also think it's interesting that some people (like Florio) think that this is no big deal but the Steelers should be really mad at whoever leaked it.

Mildly interesting but not much of story here. Probably boilerplate for every other team as well. It's not like they specify the weight/height of available hookers or anything.

The sample alphabetical room list looks oddly sequential.

RE: #5: Yeah, you'd need to find the Bengal's hotel document for those requirements.

It's like a really long low-protestant (no alcohol) wedding reception.

Is it odd that some players seem to have roommates and others don't (looking at the sample numerical list of room assignments)?

Yawn. Who requested that you post this?

The most noteworthy part is the "MUST BE HEINZ" note after the request for ketchup.

"I think it’s interesting how much the teams feel they have to control their players."

Whats the downside to it? If it keeps one player from doing something stupid, its a success.

They may feel that they need to control 1 or 2 players, and controlling them all does that without singling people out as being immature.

I guess that if there's something noteworthy in there, I'll read it here in the comments.

Curious though who's rooming with Steaming McBeamy.

11 David. MUST BE HEINZ

Whaaat. No! You're joking right? That's funny. It's not really in there, is it? Ha ha, funny, everybody is looking for it now, but it's not there. Can't be. Seriously? Naaah, you're kidding.

re: 12

Sure! And if it works for a football team, why not the whole country?

I wonder if the Patriots have requirements for the player's aftershave ... "MUST BE OLD SPICE!!"

I found interesting that on game day, at 8am, these guys are going to be eating lots of pasta along with the omelet stations.

Also, that there are to be no peppers in the hash browns, because God forbid Polamalu gets the sh*ts on game day.

Sure. That's a valid comparison. Couldn't you make the same argument against just about any parenting technique?

First the Steelers mascot and now this. Is FO turning into nothing more than a Steelers fan site? There are 31 other teams in the NFL you know.

We're not impressed.

Meh. Nothing really interesting. Rooney's want mass. No suites. The Heinz thing is really funny.

I would pay money for the Bengal's rider though.

They want all their players to be roomed on the same floor! Ha!

this reminds me of the time it was leaked that zsa zsa requires a small humidity-controlled doghouse made of whalebone to be set up in her room prior to her arrival.
