No more motivational slogans from coach Mike Tomlin. No more talk of his Pittsburgh Steelers redeeming themselves for past mistakes. No more grandiose promises to unleash havoc on the NFL for the rest of the season. Tomlin's response to the Super Bowl champions' latest improbable loss and the franchise's longest losing streak since 2003? He's taking out an eraser and wiping away names. A starter gone here, a backup moving up there. A rookie starts, a veteran goes to the bench. The Steelers... Read Full Story

The number one reason why the NBA playoffs are better than the NBA playoffs is that the NBA has best of seven series while the NFL has single game series. In the NFL, every play in every playoff game is far more important than individual plays in basketball playoffs. This makes NFL playoffs more exciting to watch and, sure enough, the NFL gets more viewers than the NBA, but it also means that if an NFL team has the misfortune of a really, really bad play, it can cost them the playoff game...

Raymond Stadium Sign “Of course Pittsburg is going to win.” says my day job boss, “It’s just a matter of by how much. If they don’t make the point spread, a lot of people are going to lose.”

Sunday, February 1, was a beautiful day – bright and cool. We got up early, bade farewell to my brother’s friend, Barb, and set out on our first quest – to find a car wash. We couldn’t show up to the Super Bowl in a dirty Mustang. Once that was accomplished, we set off for Tampa. Around Orlando, we stopped and got some breakfast. Seeing us in our Steelers’ finery, a young man in his Sunday best had to tell us that he was pulling for the Cardinals. This has become a recurring story since I’ve... Read Full Story

Some of our athletes have been made to feel that the earth revolves around them and their needs -- narcissistic behavior. When the Super Bowl XLIII champions, the Pittsburgh Steelers, visit the White House, they will be doing so without the presence of their " Greek Adonis ," (sarcasm intended) linebacker James Harrison. He told Pittsburgh's WTAE Channel 4 Action News anchor Andrew Stockey, "I don't feel the need to go, actually." "I don't feel like it's that big a deal to me." He also... Read Full Story
