Lil Wayne makes fun of Steelers, also sucks at rapping

This will hopefully be the season of the 7th ring for the Steelers but it has also been the season of hip hop.  It started when Pittsburgh’s own Wiz Khalifa recorded his hit single Black & Yellow. The music video featured LaMarr Woodley and tons of Terrible Towel waving yinzers. Then Washington, D.C. rapper Wale […]

Analysis: Are Ben Roethlsiberger and Aaron Rodgers clutch?

I hate to join in the relentless QB analysis, since that’s all most people will be talking about this week, but with the number of articles saying Ben Roethlisberger “just wins” or talking about what could happen “If Ben wins his third Super Bowl”, I’d like to compare QBs using a stat that at least […]

Green Bay’s offense is not unstoppable

Before I get into the meat of this post, I need to say that Aaron Rodgers is a really good quarterback and Green Bay has a very good offense. I have a lot more respect for that unit than the other two offenses the Steelers have faced in the playoffs so far. They have a […]

Steelers hold on to beat Jets, win AFC Championship

It wasn’t the second half we all wanted to see after the Steelers jumped out to a 24-3 lead at halftime, but as Mike Tomlin has preached since he arrived in Pittsburgh, style points don’t matter at the Steelers got the job done with a 24-19 win. The team will have a shot at winning […]
