In a week filled with upsets, it felt a little better to be a Steelers fan, even if they played the Browns.  In fact, it was Pittsburgh’s 12th straight win against the Browns.  What was once a fierce rivalry is little more than a Sunday get together these days.  Despite the offense starting a little [...]

I asked for BOOM! But I got mediocrity.  It’s week 5, am I really asking too much?  Week 2 I said I felt like this relationship was one-sided — here I was traveling around to see you, waving my terrible towel, always believing.  I think you hear me, but I can’t be sure.  Even though [...]

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 [...]

One of my favorite players, Heath Miller (TE), signs a six-year contract and will surely be wearing black and gold through the 2014 season.  Heath is undoubtedly one of the better tight ends in the league and certainly for the Steelers. Last year he had 48 receptions and 3 touchdowns.  He blocks, he catches and [...]

So the Cards have a highly rated secondary? So what?
In one of the most talked about match-ups, you have Arizona’s Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (DRC for this post’s purpose) against the Steelers Santonio Holmes.  Sure, I think DRC is fast, he’s got talent and physical strength.  He’ll be able to give Santonio a workout on Sunday, no [...]

It’s Sunday.  Championship Sunday.
In my opinion, here’s what the Steelers need to do to win:
1.  Play action passes.  Fake the Ravens into thinking TE Heath Miller is there to block then drop him back to catch.  It worked several times against the Chargers and I think will work against Baltimore as well.
2.  Watch for the [...]

I’m not sure what to say today.  Really.
Who was that team?  Where did that offense come from?  Suddenly there are my Steelers!  I hope I have to take back all the trash I have been talking about the O-line all season.  Sure, I am not the only one who has been all over them, but [...]

So, I didn’t write a wrap up of the Dallas game.  Maybe because I was disgusted with the pitiful show of offense but then I felt bad because there was still a win, though only thanks to Dick LeBeau and that amazing defense.  The question is, can we win the rest of our games and [...]

Pittsburgh vs. Dallas
Remember?  OK, so maybe I was young, but I remember Terry Bradshaw.  I remember Lynn Swann and I remember Mean Joe Greene.
I also remember Tom Landry’s Cowboys and Roger Staubach.
The fundamental difference between my team and “America’s Team” is what I will term as the ego.
Dallas has always been about individuals, talent, celebrity.  [...]
