Plax Goes to Prison
We roasted Plaxico a few weeks ago. While we think he’s getting what he deserves for not knowing the laws in the state he lives in, it is rather sad that the guy is going to prison for almost two years just for being… well, stupid. Guy shoots himself in the leg and now he’s [...]

Pittsburgh Steelers Take Ugly Loss But Still Look Good
So, Mike Tomlin didn’t become the third head coach in NFL history to start out 2-0 in his first three seasons. The Steelers lost in Week 2 for just the second time in Ben Roethlisberger’s career.

No worries.

Chicago Bears Report Card: Week Two Vs Pittsburgh Steelers

Third, THAT...
