Topics for this week’s podcast: Pats/Steelers beatdownGay love for Tom BradyJeff Reed’s collapse   Music: Girl Talk – All Day 

  Tom Brady and Bill Belichick simply own the Steelers. It doesn’t matter who the supporting cast is around the duo. It doesn’t matter if they were easily beaten by the Cleveland Browns last week. It doesn’t matter if it is 2002 or 2010.  The faces change, but the game plan doesn’t. Brady got rid […]

We’ve talked for a long time about doing a podcast and a couple of days ago we decided to just dive in. Here’s the first edition of the Blitzburgh Podcast. We’re still tinkering with audio quality and some of the technical stuff, but at least know we’ve got the ball rolling. A list of the […]

This screengrab is two or three weeks old, but it comes from Chad Ochocinco’s Facebook page. I have no problem at all with Ocho and think he’s hilarious. He’a apparently a fan of Troy Polamalu too.

There were a lot of reasons why the Steelers lost a winnable game against New Orleans. We’ve already talked about it enough and we’re over it. But one part of Sunday night’s game is part of a disturbing trend that started last season – defensive lapses late in the game. The Steelers made a habit […]

This is the the kinda game that just leaves you pissed off for a couple of days. The Steelers offense was lifeless for most of the game, but woke up in the second half only to have the defense falter late. Turnovers, penalties, blown coverages. You name it, the Steelers did it in a 20-10 […]

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about Pittsburgh MC Wiz Khalifa’s new song “Black & Yellow” which has become a sort of anthem for the Steelers and the city of Pittsburgh. The song has gotten so popular that other hip-hop artists are going in on the beat themselves. Wale’s rendition is probably the best […]

Ben Roethlisberger was careless with the football, fumbling three times including a head scratching play at the end of the game that nearly handed […]
