The Steelers wrapped up their first round of OTAs yesterday so now all of the yinzer curmudgeons that can’t stand football in May can go back to solely listening to the local media talk about how great the Buccos are doing.
All-in-all it seemed like a pretty solid first go around with the team. The running backs seemed pretty pumped to be more involved with the offense,...

Rashard Mendenhall tore his ACL week 17 last year and the Steelers are handling the situation such that they’ll view anything they can get from Mendenhall in 2012 a bonus. They’ve talked up new lead back Isaac Redman this offseason and used a 5th round pick on Chris Rainey to go with Redman and Jonathan Dwyer.

Scott Brown is reporting that Rashard Mendenhall has not ruled out playing week 1 of the regular season for the Steelers. Mendenhall went down in the last week of the season versus Cleveland. Week 1 would be a nine month recovery. That would be good for someone like Casey Hampton who does not have to move laterally. For Mendenhall though that quick of a recovery would be...

If you don’t know by now that Steelers LB James Harrison hates dislikes NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, you probably haven’t paid much attention to the last few years of punishment in the league. Harrison said at one point “If that man was on fire and I had to piss to put him out, I wouldn’t do it” He later retracted the statements and said he used a poor word-choice...
