“I’m caught in a trap. I can’t get out. Because I love you too much baby.” Elvis sang it back in the day. The Pittsburgh Steelers have to avoid it this coming Sunday. They’ve had two weeks off. Fast Willie Parker is returning to the lineup after an injury. Big Snack Hampton will practice with an eye to getting back on the field. These guys must have some rust. And it’s up to Tomlin to…
It’s time to update the name. So long as the Steelers have Bruce Arians as the offensive (pew!) coordinator and those guys along the offensive (ugh!) line it will remain true. A full game of trying to pound a square peg into a closed hole yielded the same results as it did in the first quarter: a flattened RB, a battered QB, and a tattered OL. Apparently no adjustments were called for by Coach Arians,…
Plaxico Burress knows how DeSean Jackson feels. During his rookie season for the Pittsburgh Steelers Burress spiked a live ball upon regaining his feet after a catch. Tonight in Texas Stadium Jackson flipped a live ball behind him mere feet before crossing the goal line after a hauling in a long pass and scooting towards a sure TD. Think he got a Maximum Grilling on the sideline? Why do rookie WRs do these things? Are…

That makes ten in a row against those hapless Brownstains, the popular AFCN champion pick among the semi-literate talking heads on the sports networks. When will they learn? It rarely pays to pick against the Steelers, although, if you were getting 4+ points last night, it paid. I started the game late (skipping commercials when remembering)…
I’m talking fantasy football here. But if you consider his career so far, it must be a fantasy for him. He went undefeated in his first regular season on a 15-1 team. That’s an accomplishment unheard of for rookie QBs. He made an unlikely run to a Superbowl XL victory to cap a farewell season for The Bus. He survived a near fatal motorcycle accident shortly after attaining that ultimate goal. Suffice it to say…
Just getting started in the wonderful world of blogs. Seems like a good idea. The season is young and the Steelers are promising. Why not?
