This interaction between Maurkice Pouncey and Primanti's is just ... so Pittsburgh.
It's gorgeous.
Via Twitter, Primanti's offered Pouncey a job as the bouncer (or is it pouncer?) at its original Strip District location for the next three weeks. The job is totally not related to the three-week suspension Pouncey will serve for his involvement in a late-game brawl against the Browns and Myles Garrett, the restaurant chain said.
“The job of protecting [Mason Rudolph], I mean… the Strip District Primanti Bros. is bigger than any game,” said Toni Haggerty, the Strip District Primanti’s manager, in a press release. “We take it seriously and will only hire the best.”
Pouncey is down.
What’s the pay looking like ?? Missing a few checks next couple weeks ????♂️ https://t.co/TTmpsJaSx8

The idea of Pouncey working the door at Primanti's is beautiful, but I'd personally rather see him on the grill, slinging pastrami, fries and slaw for all.
I just wouldn't expect the food to be very good those three weeks. Pouncey, per Alejandro Villanueva, prefers "charcoal burgers" and pizza with little-to-no-cheese — and definitely not pineapple.
Yeah, probably best to keep Pouncey at the door on second thought.
