See, that headline is good because it's true. I mean where else can you find a Steelers-Browns checkers set? Or a Steelers propane tank cover? Or a Snoop Dogg t-shirt with a Steelers logo on it? I mean these are must have items. Ok, I'd venture to say you can probably find that last one at Tobiath...

Opinion: Stan Savran Chats with BTSC

29 May 2008 14:59:16 PDT

Written by maryrose
SAVRAN: Both. They do limit themselves by playing it straight. They just don't overpay for players like some teams that are more aggressive do. However, their system is designed to be a contending team year after year, not just go gung-ho for a Super Bowl and then bottom out for 10 years. ...

Chargers. Best team to have not won a championship in over 40 years! No Lombardi Trophies. Zip. Nada. Only trip to Super Bowl was when they upset the chokin' dog Steelers in '94. The Super Bowl was over halfway through the first quarter. But who knows? This may be the year. The Cubs are playing well to...

Steelers Draft in Review: Round 3

30 Apr 2008 12:28:06 PDT

Written by BadMaafala
After 2 no-brainers in the first 2 rounds, the Steelers made a more debatable pick with Bruce Davis. With no obvious BPA, they bypassed the DL prospects and honed in on a need for depth at OLB. Davis gives the Steelers a solid group of 6 LB’s, and he has a chance to be a decent starter in a few years.

Analysis: As PB@BON said, it may take a year or two before he is ready to be a dominant receiver, so hold off on the top 5 offense talks for now. If he adjusts well to the NFL and continues to work hard, 2009’s offense of Parker/Mendenhall, Miller, Holmes, Sweed, and Ward in the slot (oh, and Roet...

Steelers Draft in Review: Round 1

28 Apr 2008 09:47:39 PDT

Written by BadMaafala
All value at OT was gone with 7 OT’s taken before our pick. Merling wouldn’t have been a great fit in the 3-4, although that didn’t stop the Dolphins from drafting him. The knock on Jenkins is that he can’t catch the ball, and we already have a couple CB’s that can’t catch, so I can see why we woul...

This team could make history," says New England special teams great Larry "H to the" Izzo. "Sure, we could go undefeated and win the Super Bowl. But I think a game in which the spread equals the over/under would truly cement the legacy of this team." Pittsburgh wins, 27-9.
