Here are a few news stories going on around the league to reassure you that yes, the offseason is boring. Enjoy.   – Big Ben is fine after he faked people out by pretending he had an injury. Actually I think it was a bee that stung him so he jumped around and asked Tomlin […]

It’s getting to the point where it’s almost too early to give the drafts proper grades mostly due to the fact that we can’t make a proper assessment from two years of playing. But we’ll try anyway. This was the year Tomlin was the new guy in town and everyone was scared he was going to turn […]

Looks like the football ‘analysts’ at ESPN are bored. They’ve already ranked the NFL teams in May, but hey, what do we care, they think the Stees are number 1. They’re saying since the Black and Gold have “20 of 22 starters returning, the Steelers could chase ‘dynasty’ status”. Whatever. I wouldn’t put too much […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Coming off a Super Bowl victory, the Steelers had some problems in 2006. Ben forgot how to drive a motorcycle and got an emergency appendectomy. People accused Cowher of not caring after getting his championship. The Steelers sucked basically. They went 8-8 after starting 2-6 and missed the playoffs after making it the previous two […]

2005: The rebirth of the Steelers dynasty. This was the draft that put that rest of the pieces together for the Super Bowl run. Or was it? Was it necessary to have these guys to take it all the way to SBXL? You decide, because we aren’t. Check out the rest of the picks after […]

I’m sure you’ve already heard, but Chuck Daly died at the age of 78 from pancreatic cancer. We know this has nothing to do with the Steelers, or even football in itself, but it hits close to home for us. Chuck was born in Kane and actually started his coaching career in our hometown. Norm […]

A dynasty needs to start somewhere. Whether you think it was this draft or the last one, both helped put those missing pieces together. The Stees had eight picks this draft, can you remember the rest of the picks after Ben? Cause we couldn’t.   2004 1st Round, 11th pick: Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Miami (Ohio) […]

The Stees didn’t pick up too many players in the 2003 draft. With only 5 picks, they tried to make the best of what they had. Since you can see their first pick below, we’d say they didn’t waste their first pick. What about the other 4? Well, check out the rest of the article […]

Oh, 2002. When you think about it, it doesn’t seem all that long ago. But when you think about the season before that Kordell was the starting QB, Bettis is in the backfield, and Plax was the leading receiver of the team, you realize that it was longer ago than you thought. Man, I’m glad […]

The draft class of 2001 was definitely not disappointing. It was full of winners: Michael Vick, Koren Robinson, Fred Smoot, Travis Henry; you just didn’t know what kind you’d get. But then again, there were many amazing players that came out of that draft: LaDainian (Norm hates him though), Steve Hutchinson, Reggie Wayne, Drew Brees; […]
