Steelers fans don’t like it when media members not headquartered in Pittsburgh point out the inherent awkwardness surrounding the clumsy, short-lived “retirement” of offensive coordinator Bruce Arians and the somewhat surprising hiring of new offensive coordinator Todd Haley. It’ll be interesting to see how they respond to Joe Starkey’s take from Sunday...

93.7 The FAN talked this morning with Kurt Warner, former Arizona Cardinals QB who of course worked with Todd Haley.

Warner said that to date, Ben Roethlisberger has not contacted him...

Steelers already squander Haley’s “one shower per team” quota. Camarogate continues in Yinzburgh, as Todd Haley was introduced yesterday as the Steelers new offensive coordinator. Meanwhile, THE BEN, who has still yet to meet Haley, presses on with his painstaking investigation into whether Todd is GOOD PLAYCALL HOBO or BAD MAN. Based on their individual pasts,...

Earlier this week, The Sports Xchange had a column citing seven pending unrestricted free agents who might be difficult to re-sign because their incumbent franchises had already invested huge contracts in players at the same position.

Stanford’s Jonathan Martin is the most likely top prospect to be available...

1. Offensive Tackle One name is synonymous with eye-rolling in Kansas City: Barry Richardson. The former Clemson Tiger finished the 2011 season as Kansas City’s starting right tackle after Ryan O’Callaghan was placed on injured reserve. To his credit, Richardson is dynamic and capable of playing every position on the offensive line. However, Dana White could...

When the Pittsburgh Steelers chose not to retain offensive coordinator Bruce Arians at the end of the 2011 season, they were making a bold statement. The team had strayed too far from the classic Steeler mentality. An offense that prided itself on a hard-nosed running game and toughness for decades had become a pass-first offense.
