PFT: Roethlisberger accused of sexual assault

Yikes! In a complaint that reads like the rape allegations made several years ago against NBA star Kobe Bryant, Harrah’s employee Andrea McNulty alleges sexual assault against Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in a lawsuit filed last week in Washoe County, Nevada. But lawyer David Cornwell strongly denied the allegations Monday night, in a statement released […]

Rules of Steeler Nation: Blame the offensive coordinator

Note: Rules of Steeler Nation is a semi-whenever series that profiles some unofficial “rules” that all Steeler fans seem to follow. Like it or not, the Pittsburgh Steelers are the New York Yankees of football and have become the standard bearers for fans in the NFL. Sadly, we don’t feel like Steeler Nation always does […]

Best of Blitzburgh Blog

Here’s quick links to some of our most popular and favorite posts. Most Viewed Jeff Reed arrested at Sheetz (link) – You know you’ve arrived when you are an NFL blog and your most popular post is about a kicker’s dislike for paper towel dispensers. But seriously, some good comments on our post from a […]

Derrick Mason calling it quits

Derrick Mason won’t be a thorn in the Steelers side anymore. That was my first thought when I saw the news that Mason is retiring. On a team full of idiots, Mason was one guy who I’d have loved to see on the Steelers. He was one of the most underrated WRs in the game […]

Why Pittsburgh isn’t America’s Team

The Pittsburgh Steelers are not “America’s Team”. That title belongs to the Dallas Cowboys. What? A Steelers blog claiming that the Steelers are aren’t the king of the NFL world? That’s right. We say that Dallas is America’s Team and we couldn’t be happier about it. Our favorite team is the Pittsburgh Steelers and no […]

Community Projection: Willie Parker

[Click here for a brief explanation on community projections.] We last touched on Ben Roethlisberger’s stat projection for 2009. Thanks to all the people who left their comments. Here’s what we averaged out with for Roethlisberger. 16 G / 3,275 yards /  25 TD / 13 INT Up next on the community projections is Willie […]

Steelers sign Max Starks to 4-year deal

With all of the questions surronding the Steelers offensive line heading into the offseason, you can now pencil in Max Starks as one of the tackles through 2012. He signed a 4-year deal today with the team and it appears Kevin Colbert has found one piece of the line he feels is worth keeping around […]

PSAMP and The Pensblog FTW

People wonder why us bloggers get a bad name and no props from major media outlets. Sometimes it’s because the dinosaurs are calling the shots, but a lot of other times it’s because we burn our bridges to the media, teams, and players that give us something interesting to talk about from our parent’s basements. […]

Rules of Steeler Nation: Backup QB > Starting QB

Note: Rules of Steeler Nation is a semi-whenever series that profiles some unofficial “rules” that all Steeler fans seem to follow. Like it or not, the Pittsburgh Steelers are the New York Yankees of football and have become the standard bearers for fans in the NFL. Sadly, we don’t feel like Steeler Nation always does […]

Community Projection: Ben Roethlisberger

A lot of baseball sites do community projections and I think it would a fun thing to do before every Steelers season. Baseball is a lot more starts oriented than football, but it still serves a purpose and would be a fun little experiment. In case you aren’t aware of how these things usually work, […]

73% of Pittsburgh hates Bill Cowher

The fine reporters over the the PG conducted a poll asking readers about Bill Cowher’s Carolina Hurricane fandom. Here are the results:   When people give you a hard time for being a Steeler fan and you wonder why, think back to this poll. Most sports fans will wonder what the guy did to go […]

Is Bill Cowher a traitor?

It’s been said before, but we’re big time fans of other sports teams besides the Steelers…the Pittsburgh Pirates and Penguins and the Penn State Nittany Lions. So right now, we’re sporting some disgusting playoff beards and are in full NHL mode. Interestingly enough, old friend of the Steelers’ Bill Cowher has turned into a figure […]

James Harrison cares not for your presidents and your planes

Silverback isn’t going to the White House for the team’s celebration/meeting with President Barack Obama.  People were scrambling to find out why. Is he the only athlete besides Curt Schilling who voted for McCain? Is he a secret anarchist? Turns out the juicy secret is that he is just afraid of flying and really isn’t […]

Pittsburgh ain’t perfect

Norm has been dominating the series on Pittsburgh’s past ten drafts so it’s time for me to come back and jerk some chains and deliver a rant. This falls in line with most of my rants. They aren’t directed at one person, but rather the Steelers’ internet posse and just things I overhear in western […]

Steelers to release Larry Foote

Just a few weeks after we called Foote the unsung hero of the team, the Steelers have announced that they will release the LB in a move to cut cap space and answer Foote’s request to be moved to a place where he can have a larger role. This kind of caught everybody by surprise. […]
