As we all know, Big Ben could miss up to the first six games of the Steelers’ season for his recent troubles. This includes games against Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Tennessee, Baltimore, Cleveland, and Miami, with a bye thrown in at Week 5. I believe the Steelers will come out of this with no problems. Here […]

Reports surfaced late last week that Steelers WR Limas Sweed seriously injured his Achilles tendon and will possibly miss the entire 2010 season. I’ve never been a huge Sweed fan — and really, who has? — but this is a tough blow to a kid that had apparently just gotten over some serious personal issues. […]

Well, the 2010 NFL Draft is in the books. What have we learned? Tampa and Baltimore need MOAR DEFENSIVE TACKLES. MOAR MOAR MOAR. Pete Carroll sucks. Jacksonville doesn’t even know what’s going on anymore. Overall, I think the Steelers had a successful draft. They addressed a few needs, added depth, and the team on paper […]

Much has already been written about who the Steelers will target in the first round of tonight’s draft. Most experts have zeroed in on Maurkice Pouncey, Kyle Wilson, and Mike Iupati as the three leading candidates. But what about the other six rounds? I’m admittedly no draft expert, but here are five guys who I’d […]

…make it this one. While the entire world is falling all over themselves to drop Ben’s being a douchey frat boy down to the same level with such evils as the holocaust, Stalin’s mass genocide during the communist reign in Russia, or the New York Yankees, my father sends me this article putting Ben’s six-game […]

First thing’s first: KDKA broke the Steelers’ 2010 schedule. (I did have a nice table here all worked out, but Firefox shat itself and I lost it, so you can just go click the link. Now jump.) First, there are three games in a row in primetime against certifiable playoff teams, two on the road. […]

Here’s the first article from our new writer – Michael Troy. He’s a long time Steeler fans and thinks the Steelers dealing Big Ben before, during or after this weekend’s draft would be a big time mistake.  – Bam I hope the rumors about the Steelers trading Ben Roethlisberger are false.  There is no way […]

Everyone and their dog has decided the Steelers need a cornerback in the first round. It’s an understandable concern; a series of late game comebacks by Steelers’ opponents exposed the Steelers’ secondary and brought out the worst in our DBs. But taking a cornerback in the first round is basically a knee-jerk reaction to last […]

So it’s been about 24 hours since the Steelers sent Santonio Holmes to the New York Jets for an 5th-round draft pick. The move really took us all by surprise, but now I think it’s fair to write an official send-off post. Whether you think he was an asset or a liability at this point […]

ESPN 1050 in New York is saying the Steelers traded WR Santonio Holmes to the Jets for a 5th round pick in this year’s draft. Assuming this is true, here’s some off the cuff thoughts: This trade will be mostly judged off of Holmes’ production this season. He’s a UFA after this year and if […]

Boy, do I hate the offseason. Not a whole lot goes on in the NFL around now. Yeah, Donovan McNabb got traded, but the exact same amount of people in Philly are pissed off at him anyway. I swear, McNabb is more polarizing in Philadelphia than Jesus Christ was in the Roman Empire. After the […]

I’ve you’ve read this blog for more than a few months, you know that the Steelers aren’t the only team we follow and root for like maniacs. I won’t speak for the other writers, but I’m personally an avid fan of the Penguins, Pirates and Nittany Lions. So I’m looking forward to the PBC’s opening […]

  Every few years, there’s a rash of shark attacks along the east coast here in the U.S.A. The most recent time sharks were particularly hungry was in 2001, which TIME dubbed the “Summer of the Shark.” I remember being afraid to go into the ocean that year because I was scared to death some […]
