Steelers Defeat Packers; End Losing Streak

The only thing I really wanted for Christmas was a Steelers win.  No matter how stressful and ugly, Santa delivered.  This win wasn’t just necessary for a slim shot at playoffs but for the Steelers self-esteem.  Snapping that historical 5 game losing streak was a blessing.
But it wasn’t easy to get there, despite the momentum [...]

Steelers Beat the Browns…Again

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 [...]

A Check in the W Column And That’s About It

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 [...]

NFL 2009 Season Opener – Style Points 0; Win 1

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 [...]

2009 NFL Kickoff – I’m ready, are you?

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 [...]

Who makes the cut? Pre-season game #1

On a beautiful Thursday night in Pittsburgh, I was able to take Steelerboy (my 13-year-old son) to his first ever NFL game to see the Steelers play the Cardinals in the first pre-season game of the year.
This is a great time of year – where we gear up for regular season play – but also [...]

Training Camp Opening Weekend: Overview

So after a 4+ hour drive to Latrobe early Saturday morning, “Steelerboy” and I drove through the beautiful campus of St. Vincent’s to sit through 2 hours of Steelers practice.  Opening weekend means lots of stretching and basic runs but not a lot of hard hitting – in fact, not even in full pads.
Never the [...]

Who will be the Steelers #3 WR?

This is the Limas Sweed vs Mike Wallace vs Shaun McDonald story.
And one that’s hard to predict without really seeing any of them play in camp, but it’s off-season, I have no more White House adventure stories so I’m going to make a prediction anyway.
First, le’s just say Nate Washington will be missed.  He was [...]
