Despite going 12-4 this season, having the overall best defense in the NFL and some lofty (if somewhat misleading) offensive numbers, Mike Tomlin is in a real pickle. The word from dad (Art Rooney II) has come down that if you don’t settle down and behave, he will pull this...

Joe Paterno Dies, The Nation Shrugs Their Shoulders
I was in the gym when I saw the news that at 85 years old, former Penn State coach and former man who people liked had passed away. I looked in disbelief that something so terrible could happen to a person whose life had just finished a crash landing at the tail end of a wicked downward spiral. Never in sports has there been such a fast and overwhelming fall from grace. Joe Paterno...

There was no retirement. And if you think otherwise, you need check your glass and stop drinkin’ the Arians kool aid. There was no ‘firing’ in the traditional sense either. But, like Dave Wannstedt and Pitt, the Steelers mysteriously ran out of pens when it came time to renew Arains contract...

Passage of PIPA/SOPA Could Make Steelers Blogging a Real Pain.

I really like writing about the Pittsburgh Steelers but I like to sprinkle in bits of fact here and there in my postings too.

Post Season Thoughts
I hate the Patriots. I just do. I’ve always hated the Patriots. I remember when I was a little kid…I hated the Patriots. In 2004, during Big Ben’s rookie season when the Patriots beat us in the AFC Championship game, my hate for the Patriots was renewed. “Spy Gate” ensued and my hate for Belicheat and his lovable gang of insanely good looking football players grew.
