Not much going on in the Steelers world. I got sick of CBA talk a month or so ago. Just waiting for it all to end.  Anyway, we spent some time this weekend and got the beginnings of a new section on Blitzburgh Blog up and running: player profiles and salary information. For now, we’ve […]

As the NFLPA and the NFL owners meet to determine the fate of civilization argue over what percentage of the billions of dollars we the fans provide (and TV networks too, but since we pay our cable bills, it’s really just us) that each side gets, it gets tedious quickly. There is no actual football, […]

The year is 2026. You’re about to sit down to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers play the London Knights in an NFL playoff game on your HD3 television. That’s what your iPhone 24 sends a pulse to your brain and you get a message with the sad news. Hines Ward, your all-time favorite Steeler has passed […]

-B- After a week or so of speculation, the Steelers hired former defensive back Carnell Lake to become the team’s new secondary coach after Ray Horton accepted the defensive coordinator position in Arizona. Short of Rod Woodson or Mel Blount taking the job, this is easily the most press and hype the hiring of a […]

Much has been written in recent days about the Steelers and Kevin Colbert beginning contract talks with CB Ike Taylor. Both side seem eager to get a deal done, but there is some concern that enough money isn’t available to go around as the Steelers have also expressed a desire to work out deals with […]

I’m a numbers guy, as you can probably tell from reading my stuff. So, anything that analyzes sports using numbers, especially in a new way, is something I have to check out. Scorecasting, by Jon Wertheim and Tobias Moskowitz, is the latest in a long line of these types of books, and I definitely recommend […]

-B- The man, the myth, the legend Charlie Batch is many things, including the Steelers NFLPA rep. Batch has been heavily involved in four consecutive days of meetings between the league and the NFLPA and said that things were ‘going well.’ I won’t pretend I know that much about what is going on with the […]

Voting started today for the first round of the best Pittsburgh Sports Blog Tournament at Sean’s Ramblings.  We’re going against OFTOT in round one. Big time matchup between Steelers bloggers. Honestly, I could care less if you vote for us or not. But please, please vote for Three Rivers Burgh Blog and make sure Bob […]

-B- Been a minute since I’ve posted anything…since the night of the Super Bowl actually. I’ve been too busy not watching ESPN or NFL Network. Every time I tried to start a post, Clay Matthews came out of nowhere and made me fumble the mouse.  -B- Seans Rambling’s has launched their annual Best Pittsburgh Sports […]

Before anyone posts something bad, the loss I am talking about is not the loss to Green Bay… that I am still angry about. My question refers to the loss of Defensive Backs coach Ray Horton, who is heading to Arizona to take over as their Defensive Coordinator and turn the Cardinals into a 3-4 […]

Thus ends the story of the 2010 Pittsburgh Steelers.  It will probably be a game that haunts Pittsburgh fans for years. The Steelers turned the ball over three times, including a backbreaking fumble by Rashard Mendenhall with the Steelers 30 yards away from taking the lead. Ben Roethlisberger threw 2 interceptions, including one returned for […]

As I predicted before the year started, we have the Green Bay Packers meeting the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV. There are so many similarities between these two teams, it’s almost fitting they will be playing in the biggest game of the year. Both teams have tough big-armed quarterbacks, in Ben Roethlisberger and Aaron […]

For the previous playoff games, I’ve split this into three parts, but you don’t have anything to do on Sunday other than get pumped for the game, right? So, in the words of the halftime act that I definitely won’t watch, “Let’s get it started!” Before I dive into the charts and give my own […]
