That right there is why last week’s game against the Miami Dolphins was simultaneously the greatest and the worst game you’re going to see this season. Shockingly, it was the third highest rated Monday Nighter of the year which tells me either Steeler Nation is more powerful than I thought or there are a [...]

Unfortunately, the tragedy involving Sean Taylor reminds us that football is not the most important thing in the world.  There are those who have already talked about Taylor’s checkered past when covering the story, as if that somehow means he deserved what happened to him.  But nothing he had done in the past [...]

‘But the coaches should have-‘, you say. I [...]

Hope everybody had a nice Thanksgiving. Our yearly gathering to feast on the finest genetically mutated bird meat money can buy was the usual well-attended affair. I come from a big family (in both number and poundage) with greatly varied tastes so we’ve found it best to cover all the bases in one [...]

…but I toldja so.
All the signs were there if you know what to look for. It almost seemed inevitable the Steelers would lose to the hapless Jets. Yet, I’m sure we all wished upon our lucky stars, four-leaf clovers, and bald-headed midgets that somehow, some way, the Steelers would manage to pull [...]

Before we look forward to the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Jets, let’s look backward for a minute at these articles of interest on the Cleveland Browns’ web site.
The first are the results of a survey about the Steelers that was posted on the Brown’s site, which among [...]
