I’m so completely late on posting this…but I well, whatever…enjoy…
So, everyone knows the sports marketing industry is HUGE, right? It accounts for more than $50 billion dollars and approximately $100 billion globally….in other words, athletes schlepping products is BIG BUSINESS. Michael Jordan was king of endorsements (Nike+Hanes, etc); then there was Shaquille O’Neill (those heated [...]

It’s during times like these that those fake fans will show their true colors, you know running over to the sexy shiny new object (Jets + Sanchez) or the older more experienced version (Vikings + Favre) or even the one that looks a lot like you, but isn’t you (Ravens).  But I love you and [...]

Esteban arrives safely to Cincy, as I open my eyes my vision seems to be blurred,all I see is black and gold!Steeler week<- 2 chinstrap game8:46 PM Sep 22nd from Echofon
While the Steelers have won the last 8 games in Cincinnati, this is a new and somewhat improved Bengals team they will face tomorrow.  Carson Palmer [...]

In a weekend of upsets, including the Patriots losing to the Jets and Cincy Beating Green Bay, I will congratulate the Bears on a tough game well played.  The Bears were able to do what the Steelers were not – kick field goals in clutch moments.  However, it wasn’t just the field goals that led [...]

I’m jumpin’ on a plane tomorrow and heading to Chicago for the game at Soldier Field on Sunday. I’m sure I won’t be the only Steelers fan in the crowd waving a terrible towel – because, as we know, Steeler Nation travels well.
I hope to see a much improved game from last week – from [...]

The 2009 NFL season is officially underway.  In front of a record home crowd of 65, 110 all dressed in black and gold, the Steelers narrowly defeated the Titans 13-10 in the opening game of the season.
THAT was ugly  ladies and gentleman.  But I will take the check in the win column and keep on [...]

The day is almost here.
You know what day….September 10, 2009 – otherwise known as NFL Kickoff Day!
That day we have been anxiously awaiting since February.  Sure, there have been glimmers of fun since Super Bowl Sunday…tweeting the draft and meeting @NFLPRGuy (aka Brian McCarthy) as the NFL finally caught up with the rest of us [...]

The Steelers announced final cuts today.
Can’t say I am not disappointed to see Isaac Redman’s name on the list of players cut today.  In the pre-season game against Carolina, the kid had a team high 79 yards rushing on 12 carries with one TD which was scored from 10 yards out to give Pittsburgh a [...]

Yes, this is a blog about the Steelers, but every once in a while, I can’t help write about my other “hometown” – Washington, DC.  I have never been one to hide my disdain for Redskins owner, Dan Snyder.  I know that comes as a surprise, right?
Since he bought the Redskins, he’s not done anything [...]
