We see rock stars on TV, we hear them on the radio or over the internet, or we go and see them perform in person.  This is same way we consume our passion for sports.  My life, as a middle aged dude, has retained the same interests I had as a 12 year old dude:  Girls, Football, and Music.  You may call this an acute case of arrested development but I call it having refined and focused tastes from an early age.  Musicians and athletes train exhaustively to hone their skills before putting those talents on display for us all.  To see those talents displayed to their fullest is a thing to behold and last night I was fortunate enough to see the super talented John Corabi and get to talk a little football with him.  Another example of why we need sports.  It gives people from different walks of life common ground and brings out the shared passions in all of us. … [visit site to read more]

Depending on who you’re talking to it is either the end of the world or the start offensive greatness for Steeler Nation.  Todd Haley was officially announced as the newest Offensive Coordinator for the Steelers on Tuesday.  Haley is expected to have a press conference today at the Steelers facility and it also might be the first time we hear from Mike Tomlin since the Denver hangover press conference last month.  So what does this loud mouth hobo have in store for the Nation?  Let’s speculate, shall we?  … [visit site to read more]

What Does Todd Haley Have In Store For The Steelers? - Nice Pick, Cowher - Nice Pick, Cowher - A Pittsburgh Steelers Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more.

Haley did work with the 'Hunt as the OC for a couple years. Perhaps that means great things for the Steelers receiving core.

I personally started paying attention to Todd Haley about during that three game winning streak in Weeks 11-13.  By the end of 13, the Chiefs were 8-4 and running away with the AFC West.  Then ended with a 10-6 record, took the West and hosted a playoff game at Arrowhead to the Baltimore Ravens.  Then the season came crashing to a thud with a 30-7 beating by the Ravens.

The following 2011 season was a promising one for Haley and the Chiefs.  But, they opened the season at 0-3 and really never fully recovered from there.  The team was hampered by injuries, the play calling on offense became stale.  If anyone ever thought Weiss had no hand in their 2010 playoff run, that person is mistaken.  The team finished 7-9, and Haley was fired before the season even ended.  Well 7-9 isn’t THAT bad, right?  Three seasons as head coach and his record was .714.  Better than most franchises out there in a league that is already saturated.  So what was it about Haley that led to his firing and makes some Steeler fans on edge about them hiring Haley as the new offensive coordinator? And should they be?
