Bruce Arians announces his "retirement."
Well Steeler fans, many of you have gotten your wish. Bruce Arians announced his "retirement" from the position of offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I use that word lightly because there are a lot of indications that the Steelers ownership wanted a change to be made.During his tenure as OC, the team went to two Super Bowls and won one of them. He was...

Train With Pro Athletes to Save a Life
You can't miss the professional athletes at the Michael-Ann Russell J.C.C. in North Miami Beach.
They come to train, and the super-fast, super-chiseled, super-strong young men draw everyone's attention. So, trainer Jesse Olinger had an idea: Use them as a lure to help his mom fight cancer.

Steelers vs. Texans: A Look Back at the First Decade
Willie Parker had a monster day against Houston in 2008, Image Courtesy of daylife.comBecause the Houston Texans are the N.F.L.’s newest team, they haven’t had much of a storied series with essentially any franchise outside of their own division. In fact, Houston has only played three games against Pittsburgh in their nascent history. Since I usually do a Top 5 Countdown...

Shanahan Looks To Keep Backs Fresh, Healthy
AP Image
Going into head coach Mike Shanahan’s first training camp in Washington, his selection at running back was a trio of aging stars in Clinton Portis, Larry Johnson and Willie Parker. Parker didn’t make the team, Johnson didn’t make it for long, and Portis spent most of the season in the training room.
The running game struggled with the rest of the offense...

Mike Tomlin believes in the two-back system. He said as much shortly after the Steelers hired him in 2007. Then, he went out and used Willie Parker, as promised at Tomlin's first midseason, until the wheels came off.

Nesting Dolls Of Soviet Leaders In Redskins Gear
A couple days ago I posted about some "wacky" Redskins nesting dolls. In hindsight, the wackiness quotient wasn't that high. "Oooo, it's Willie Parker, and Fred Davis' number is wrong! ZANY!" Following that post, Reader Jason sent in a slightly zanier set of nesting dolls from his late mother's collection, and I suspect these will remain just...

Redskins Nesting Dolls
Now that I've broken the ice on terrible solstice puns, here's something else completely random: Washington Redskins matryoshka, or Russian nesting dolls. The existence of the dolls themselves isn't all that weird, but the selection of players here is kinda unusual. Donovan McNabb, sure. Clinton Portis and Santana Moss, absolutely. But Fred Davis wearing number 6? That seems strange...

Darren Sproles or Ronnie Brown to Redskins?
The Redskins’ backfield was a fluid situation last season. After bringing in — and then cutting — former stars Larry Johnson and Willie Parker via free agency, coach Mike Shanahan was then forced to start a platoon of Ryan Torain and Keiland Williams for 11 games while incumbent starter Clinton Portis missed time due to injury.
Now Portis is gone, leaving Torain as the nominal...

The Steelers are relying on Rashard Mendenhall too much
Only three running back in the NFL had more carries than Rashard Mendenhall in 2010 -- Michael Turner, Steven Jackson and Arian Foster. Mendenhall's 324 carries are the most for a Steeler back in one season since Willie Parker's 337 in 2006 and the second most since 2000, when Jerome Bettis carried the ball a remarkable 355 times. Running the ball a lot with one running back...
