Don’t Expect The Steelers To Draft Underclassmen

The NFL Scouting Combine is getting underway and Kevin Colbert and his staff will begin evaluating prospects in depth for the next month and a half. Colbert had a few things to say on the subject this morning: “[The 2014 draft] is as deep across the board as any draft I’ve seen in 30 years […]

Meanwhile, In Cleveland

Let's do a quick rundown of the Cleveland Browns in 2014. First, they fired Rob Chudzinski after a single year as the head coach. This followed a series of two-year tenures by guys like Eric Mangini and Pat Shurmur, and the general feel around the NFL seemed to be that no one in their right […]

So, Ryan Clark Is Done Here, Right?

Ryan Clark sure has made waves in the past week or two. It seems that every time anyone has a thought, Ryan Clark is coming in to give his opinion on the subject. And it really looks like not only is his Steeler career over, but he might be working his way out of the […]

I Got A Tablet! You Can Too!

Disclosure: I am participating in the Verizon Fans Voices program and have been provided with a wireless device and six months of service in exchange for my honest opinions about the product. Really, the Verizon reps I've been working with this football season are great. Just last week, they hooked us sports bloggers up with […]

Dapper Dan Recap?!

Yours truly attended the Dapper Dan Dinner & Auction last night. It was pretty nice. A lowly blogger like myself tends to feel out of place surrounded by people in sportcoats and whatnot, but it was neat and I took away a few things I figured I might as well share, because I have a […]

Super Bowl XLVIII Was Awesome

The Seattle Seahawks claimed their franchise's first Super Bowl title on Sunday, beating the Denver Broncos soundly by a score of 43-8. It was awesome. A lot of people were disappointed with the blowout. They wanted to see lots of pretty passes and last-second touchdowns and probably a 38-35 final. That didn't happen. In fact, […]

Super Bowl Gameday

     It's the biggest day of the year. Peyton Manning looks to cement his legacy as the greatest quarterback of all time (if he isn't already) while the fiesty young Seattle Seahawks look to bring home their franchise's first ever Vince Lombardi Trophy. The Broncos have not only the #1 offense in the NFL […]

Introducing the 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame Class

As per tradition on Super Bowl Eve, the NFL announced this year's inductees to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Of note to Steeler fans, Jerome Bettis and Kevin Greene again failed to make the cut. So who did? Michael Strahan Strahan makes the cut in his first year of eligibility. The Giants' defensive end […]

My Phone Has A Fever

Disclosure: I am participating in the Verizon Fans Voices program and have been provided with a wireless device and six months of service in exchange for my honest opinions about the product. So I'm still hanging out with this Droid Maxx that Verizon hooked me up with. So far I've had nothing but positive things […]

Steelers Hire Mike Munchak

Mike Munchak is the new offensive line coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. In addition to having a name that sounds like a Pokemon, Munchak is an accomplished offensive linemen, spending 32 straight years in the Oilers/Titans organization before being fired as their head coach this past season. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall […]

Is Richard Sherman Getting Too Much Attention?

This is Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman. He is good at his job. He told the world as much on Sunday after he deflected the 49ers' final pass attempt into a teammate's arms to win the game. Reaction to his postgame exclamations range from "What a breath of fresh air to see actual personality from an […]

No One Wants To Coach The Browns

The Browns fired whoever their latest head coach was when the regular season ended, and they still haven't found a replacement. They are the only remaining NFL team without a head coach. That might not seem like a huge deal, but that job is poisonous and everyone seems to know it. Todd Bowles, Arizona's defensive […]

To Seattle, From Pittsburgh

Hey there, Seattle. It's been a while. Listen, I know we haven't always seen eye-to-eye. We've had our differences. That push-off on Darrell Jackson was iffy, I know. But Jerramy Stevens kept running out of bounds too. I think we can agree that maybe Super Bowl XL wasn't the best game it could have been. […]

Why Mainstream Media Guys Hate Bloggers

So, ESPN likes to maintain a beat writer for every NFL team. That's fine; ESPN should have that kind of coverage. They do, after all, claim to be the worldwide leader in sports. Such a prestigious self-appointed title would lead you to believe they're true professionals, bringing you, the fan, all the information you could […]

Steelers Sign Some Dudes

For reasons I don't quite understand and probably never will, the Steelers have made some signings since their season ended. No, not big signings like re-upping with Jason Worilds or Jerricho Cotchery. Tiny signings like bringing in CB Devin Smith, who I think got cut in preseason last year. Also joining the team are linebacker […]
