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. […]

We told you earlier this week why we don’t do mock drafts. If you can’t remember, it’s because we sure as hell have no idea who’s going to be good and who isn’t. Even the Steelers don’t get every pick right, but they’ve done a lot better than we ever would. Or the Detroit Lions. […]

Just like that, another draft has come and gone. This year’s version didn’t have all of the big names of the 2008 version for the Steelers, but when you sit down and look at the total package they brought in over the weekend, there’s reason to feel pretty good about how they did. ROUND ONE […]

Some reposted thoughts from our live blog of the draft… 7:31 PM :: Pick is in! DT Ziggy Hood from Missouri! Too bad ESPN is on commercial and we see no announcement. Ouch. 7:34 PM :: Hood is 6′ 3” and 300 pounds and pretty mobile for a big defensive tackle. He runs a 4.8 […]

5:58 PM :: I’m a huge Penguins fan so I won’t lie, my TV just now found its way to the NFL draft after watching a great game six against the Flyers.  Good thing the Steelers didn’t pick earlier. I’ll provide some commentary and what not for the rest of the first round here. 6:05 […]

Starting a new century, the Steelers wanted an offensive boost. Well, they got one with Plax, but they also got a pain in the ass who likes to shot himself in the leg. Please join us as we review a draft class that was… well, you decide.   2000 1st Round, 8th pick: Plaxico Burress, […]

We were hearing lots of rumors about Ben Roethlisberger gracing the cover of EA Sports NFL franchise, but it turns out it was another Steelers. Polamalu will appear alongside Larry Fitzgerald. If you are worrying about a curse, you are a joke. Curses aren’t real. I can already hear the complaints rolling in after Polamalu […]

We’ve said it a few times on here, but we see no real point in us doing mock drafts. We always just want the Steelers to pick either players from Penn State or who played in the WPIAL during their high school days. We’re homers the whole way through. Case in point, let’s revisit a […]

The draft is coming up and everybody is pulling out their mock drafts left and right. Not us. We know jack about who the Steelers are thinking about drafting and there’s no chance of us actually getting inside Kevin Colbert’s mind. All of the mock drafts are always completely wrong anyway. So we decided to […]

So long, Snow Plow. He wasn’t Bus II, but I still think Russell can make a good running back in the NFL. It wasn’t his fault that Kemoeatu was crapping all over himself every time Russell got a hand off. He also only got carries in short yardage situation which could make Jim Brown look […]

Silverback only had one year left on his deal, so this is just great news. It’s been written before by people that the best move for the Steelers would be to trade him now at his peak value or that they should let him walk after next season, but it’s obvious the Stees had other […]

This post is as non-Steelers related as you’ll see on here, but there’s a few things we’ve got to take care of. First off, it’s baseball season so if we start posting less it’s because we’re over at WHYGAVS? reading or hanging out in the comments. We’re pretty much your average yinzers, so we put […]

The dudes over at Bloguin’s With Malice have a great thing going today. They’ve dubbed April 5th “Unsung Player Day.“ Yup, I’m declaring April 5th ‘Unsung Player Day’… we should recognize the guys who toil and work hard every day, for no recognition. Well, today’s your day. In reality, these guys are just as responsible […]

Big news in the NFL world yesterday as Denver dealt disgruntled QB Jay Cutler to the Bears for QB Kyle Orton and some picks. No matter how you slice it, it’s an interesting deal for any NFL fan. Me, I usually look at everything through the lens of a Steeler fan. So what can be […]
