Believe it or not, training camp is only a few weeks away. It has been the summer of suck between all of the off-the-field troubles for the Steelers and the simple fact that there is no football to watch. After a mediocre 9-7 season, I think I’m even more pumped for the Steelers to hopefully […]

The Post Gazette plus 300 other blogs are reporting that Mike Tomlin has signed a 3-year extension through the 2014 season. Finally, some good news this summer. The fact that he wasn’t immediately re-signed at the conclusion of the 2009 season led to speculation that the Rooneys would be letting him walk after 2010. This […]

I have been asking myself the question, “What am I excited to see this season?”  I seem to ask myself the same question each year, but I will be honest, it has been difficult this year. We all know about the off-field issues/trades/injuries the Steelers organization has had to go through this off-season, and that […]

This has been the worst offseason in recent memory for the Steelers. 2009 left a bad taste in our collective mouth, and we’ve had one problem after another piling up in the offseason. And I think it’s a good thing for us all in the long run. Yeah, you heard me. This is what we […]

Not football related, but this deserves its own post. One year ago today, Pittsburgh’s own Billy Mays passed away. He was a great salesman, an awesome dude, and a champion of the common man. Tough to watch this from 6:30 on..   http://youtube.com/watch?v= UbooQvuFLCU[/youtube]   The world needs more people like Billy Mays. RIP   […]

Our ongoing season on the present state of the Steelers roster continues today with the special teams. The long-overused joke of the Steelers special teams not being so “special” certainly applied in 2009 and will most likely be true again in 2010. Things haven’t changed too much since 2009. With Piotr Czech‘s release five days […]

Last year, I wrote a post titled “21 bold predictions for the 2009 Pittsburgh Steelers.” I didn’t hold back and threw out some ridiculous and very bold predictions. Even crazier, I believed in most of them at the time. I stumbled upon the post today and my god…I could not have been farther off on […]

Up next in our ongoing series are the linebackers. These guys are the backbone of Dick LeBeau’s legendary 3-4 defense and arguably the engine that makes this whole team go. Linebackers have historically been a strength of the Steelers, particularly outside backers. And while the faces have changed a bit and the ages are getting […]

A couple nights ago I tuned in to ESPN to catch the 6 o’clock Sportscenter. I was hoping to catch up on all the day’s baseball games, the Stanley Cup Finals, and the upcoming NBA Finals. But that’s not what I watched and it nearly made me throw up the leftover hot dogs and hamburgers […]

If you felt confident about the Steelers wide receiver situation throughout this offseason, you’re lying to yourself. The Steelers have two proven pass-catchers on the roster. Hint: Mike Wallace isn’t one of them. Everyone else on the roster has to be in prove-yourself-mode, and at least one or two of them will have to come […]

In the third installment (RBs and QBs) of our updated look at the Steelers’ roster and where it is heading, I take a gander at the talented but aging defensive line. There hasn’t been a lot of turnover among the defensive linemen since last season, so the main focus will be on staying healthy…which has […]

In our ongoing series, State of the Steelers, we’ll profile each position on the team. And today, I present a topic that certainly no one is tired of hearing about, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback situation. I’m sure this will be news to you, but Ben Roethlisberger has been suspended for what we’ll consider to be […]

We’re now in the dead of the 2010 offseason and there’s not much going on aside from Ben Roethlisberger drama that I am completely sick of hearing about. It’s been months since the Steelers have played an actual football game and that makes it hard to believe that we’ve seen the last of Santonio Holmes […]

Well, Limas Sweed’s Achilles injury appears to be bad enough to warrant his being placed on the Injured Reserve list. As myself and my fellow bloggers have surmised, this likely is the end of Sweed’s career with the Steelers, and what a disappointment it will have been if that’s so. Sweed had a ton of […]
