Okay, I know it’s a little bit late, but I came across Santa Clause’s naughty and nice list for all of the Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Bowlers, and I’m reprinting it, even though I might end up on the naughty list for doing so.

Ben Roethlisberger – Nice
With one [...]

”We’re gonna ride Willie ‘til the wheels fall off.” – Coach Mike Tomlin

Well, Mike, the wheels have officially come off. Off Fast Willie Parker and most likely off the Steelers’ chances to make do anything significant in this year’s playoffs.
For the roughly 90% of you who don’t have access to [...]

After the St. Louis Rams won the Super Bowl, their plan for the future was set. Dick Vermeil would retire so they would hand the reigns over to Offensive Coordinator Mike Martz. Martz served as a QB coach/offensive assistant to the Redskins the year before and helped turn them into one of [...]

The Pittsburgh Steelers got completely out-physicaled today in their loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who successfully ran through the former steel curtain like it was tissue paper, as well as succeeded in putting a constant stream of pressure on quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Did anyone else watching this game feel like the teams [...]

Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. That’s basically the history of the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags entered the league as an expansion team in 1995 and made the playoffs in three of their first four seasons, losing in the AFC championship game twice. How sad is it that there are teams [...]

Anthony, Anthony… If you’re going to shoot off your yap making idiotic predictions, at least try to play a decent game so you can say you held up your end of the bargain. Instead, Tom Brady and Randy Moss gave big mouth safety Anthony Smith the football equivalent of public teabagging in [...]

So first they tell us Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najeh Davenport was out with a non-football related injury last week.  Shortly thereafter, Coach Mike Tomlin says Davenport fell off of an elliptical cycle and hurt his foot.  Then, a team spokesperson tells us that he hurt his foot through some sort of acupuncture [...]

I will give one hundred dollars in cash to any Pittsburgh Steelers player who injures Tom Brady to the extent that he is unable to continue to play in the Steelers-Patriots game this Sunday. If the injury takes place before the game in the parking lot, don’t worry, I’ll still pay. [...]

Memo to Anthony Smith: Shut the hell up!! In case you missed it, safety Anthony Smith “guaranteed” a win this Sunday when the Steelers face the Patriots. Predictably, the Patriots reacted to this stupid bit of boasting by, uh, trying to figure out who Anthony Smith is. “I didn’t know who [...]
