That’s head coach Mike Tomlin basking in the afterglow of his first two picks in the 2008 NFL Draft. Tomlin and Director of Player Personnel Kevin Colbert have every right to be pleased with their work as the general consensus seems to be the Pittsburgh Steelers had themselves one of the finest hauls in [...]

Day Two of the NFL Draft. Sorry, no awesome Kiperrific sound bite clips today as I had to watch the Pens lay some smack down on the Rangers and my computer doesn’t have enough memory to save the entire draft with my capture card.
3rd Round:

Bruce Davis LB UCLA

Height: 6-25/8
Weight: 252
Pros: [...]

1st Round:
Rashard Mendenhall RB Illinois
Height: 5-105/8
Weight: 225
Pros: Excellent size and strength. Big powerful back in the true Steeler tradition. Timed at 4.45 sec in the 40 which is tremendous speed for a back his size. Very natural runner with great vision who picks his hole [...]

Rejoice!! The NFL Draft is almost upon us. Two days of hopes, dreams, triumph for some, heartbreak for others, quarterbacks waiting in anticipation with their hot girlfriends and Jet fans eager to boo whatever unfortunate sap is taken by their team.

Either that or their highly [...]

The Infinite Monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter for an infinite amount of time will eventually type something that actually makes sense.
Clearly, this is the how the NFL created their schedule for the 2008 football season.
How else can you explain the murderous slate handed down to our beloved [...]

When did Pittsburgh become the new Cincinnati?
This week saw yet another tally added to the litany of off-season woes when Steely McBeam, our much beloved reviled mascot, was arrested and charged with a DUI. Acting swiftly, the Steelers Cedric Wilson’d his ass before the ink on the police blotter dried. Whether his [...]

The Pittsburgh Steelers used to consider themselves to be a classier organization than the other clubs in the National Football League. The Pittsburgh Steelers used to pride themselves on not having players on their team who were beset by the bad behavior and problems with the law that seem to follow some [...]

Thanks for nothing, asshole.

Yesterday, at the NFL’s annual Spring Owners Meeting/Wet T-shirt contest down in sunny Palm Beach, the NFL’s head of officiating, Mike Pereira, conceded that, yes, perhaps there was a wee bit of holding on the play that ended the Steelers season in heart breaking fashion. Gee, ya think? Considering [...]
