We’ve waited all summer to make this post. As excited as we are for this game, let’s game one thing straight: this contest has nothing to do with what the Titans did to the Terrible Towel last season. The Steelers won the Super Bowl that year. The Titans did not. As far as we’re concerned, […]

So here we are. It doesn’t seem long ago that James Harrison was intercepting Kurt Warner at the goal line or Santonio Holmes pulled of a miraculous catch in the corner of the endzone. After the Super Bowl XLIII win and the Penguins subsequent run to Lord Stanley’s Cup, all we did was make fun […]

Finally, the regular football season is days away. Unfortunately, there is one more preseason game in the way that is even more boring than the other ones. This is the final preseason game, so you rarely get to see any starters on the field, so it’s more like watching a JV game.   It’s the time […]

Per PG: Running backs Carey Davis and rookie Isaac Redman, linebacker Bruce Davis and veteran cornerback Anthony Madison were among the players cut today by Coach Mike Tomlin as the Steelers began reducing their roster to the 53-man limit.

Numerous media outlets and blogs have been publishing their picks for the best of the AFC North so we figured we’d throw our list into the mix. Here’s a few things to keep in mind as you read over the list: We went with a 3-4 defense since that’s what the Steelers play. We made […]

While we were watching the first half of this game, it was obvious which team was the reigning Super Bowl champions and which one wasn’t. It’s been a while since I’ve watched a football game and seen one team complete outclass the other, but that’s what I saw tonight. The Steelers defense ate Dick Jauron’s […]

I’m not a coach and I don’t even pretend to be one online. But I’m pretty confident that Mike Tomlin and his staff are penciling in tonight’s game against Buffalo as the most important matchup of the preseason. Obviously, the starters are actually going to get the majority of the playing time and this is […]

I can’t get that question out of my mind. It feels completely unfair to even throw out the term “bust” when a guy has only had 19 carries in the NFL. It goes against everything I typically stand for when it comes to evaluating players. But Rashard Mendenhall hasn’t once looked anything other than a […]

Steelers 13 Redskins 17               When I think of Steelers vs. Redskins, I think of last year when Byron came in to save the game when Ben went down. After that, many people called for Ben’s head and that Byron should be the new starter. Of course that didn’t happen, and both teams went […]

Much has been written and said about rookie running back Isaac Redman, who scored both TDs in the Steelers first preseason game and recently dominated a goal line drill in practice. So who is Isaac Redman? We spent the offseason dreaming about Rashard Mendenhall and Frank Summers plowing over tacklers into the end zone, not […]

Steelers 20 Cardinals 10 Getting excited over a player’s performance in a preseason game is the definition of “carried away.” In a lot of ways, a preseason NFL game isn’t even football. The playcalling is different, the coaching is different, and obviously, the players are different. That said, it was damn good to watch the […]

Since I obviously have some problems with getting motivated (for example, writing articles on the site), I decided to go to the Get Motivated! seminar that was going on in the Mellon Arena in downtown Pittsburgh yesterday. Actually, I attended mostly due to the fact that Terry Bradshaw (who was the first speaker and was […]

For the first season in a long time, the thought of a serious injury to Ben Roethlisberger has me sweating bullets. Roethlisberger has always been prone to injuries, but thankfully the Steelers have had somebody ready behind Ben who could step up and do the job. In 2006, it was Batch who came in and […]

E:60 is the one show on ESPN where the World Wide Leader actually does the heavy lifting and delivers some real journalism. Tonight they showed a story on Steeler fan Bob Zinski and it was one of the most inspiring and well-done media pieces I’ve seen in a long time. Zinski was diagnosed with terminal […]
