Bears devour Steelers, ChicagoNow eats crow
2009-09-21 07:18:00 OK, I'm an idiot. But I have company. A lot of company.17 of 26 ChicagoNow bloggers who sent their predictions in took Pittsburgh to beat the Bears. Feel free to publically flog us, but can you blame us ... ah, no excuses. We were wrong and, at least in my case, caved to the hysteria surrounding Jay Cutler's dismal first game as a Bear and Brian Urlacher's dismal last game as a Bear this season.Thanks to all this angst, there was quite a bit to discuss around ChicagoNow following the victory...On Bears Game Day: Mike Burzawa's post-game recap has links to Lovie Smith and Jay Cutler's post-game news conferences and he cheekily gives his game ball to a Bear...

Jay Cutler Bears/Steelers Gameday
2009-09-20 22:25:00 Tracking Cutler throughout the game...1st series: Turner calls plays like Orton is still the QB and calls plays like he's still thinking about last week. Bears go 3 & out. 2nd series: Another 3 & out. The lack of quality receivers has shrunk the field considerably. Cutler is 3-4 for all of 8 yards. 3rd series: Bears finally get their first 1st down and 1st reception by a wide receiver. Cutler goes 5-7 on the drive but misses an open Knox on 3rd & 9. Cutler is 8/11 but for only 50 yards.4th series: Bears start from their own 3 yard line. Cutler hits Knox for 22. 19 passes against only 5 run play= not your daddy's Bears. Bears drive...

Ask Wale: Steelers' defense, longer NFL season and Packers' recap
2009-09-17 17:54:00 ASK WALEE-mail me here. I will be answering your questions about the Bears and life in the NFL every week on my blog. I am a Bears fan in West Virginia and this is Steeler country. I have been waiting on this game, every since the Steelers beat us down 4 years ago. My question is do you remember that game? And if so, do you all use that as a motivation even though it was a few years back? I know I remember it and it seemed as if they was just more physical. I say its payback time! Bear Down on the Steelers. - Thanks, Charles McCroskey...
The Professor's take on Bears vs. Steelers
2009-09-17 02:33:00 This is Pittsburgh's first visit to Chicago since 1995 when they beat the Bears in overtime. It was their first and only victory in Chicago in their history (1-11). The Bears and Steelers had some similarities in their season openers. Both had trouble running the ball, both played well on defense, and both lost a star defensive player to injury . Bears LB Brian Urlacher is out for the season. Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu, who led the team in tackles and had an INT in a 13-10 victory over Tenn, is out with a torn MCL. The Bears will be without two other starters as well, OLB Pisa Tinoisamoa and TE Desmond Clark. The Bears didn't have much success running against Green...
Steelers Should Sign Favre
2009-05-08 14:58:00 Once again, Brett Favre has been in the news quite a bit recently. Much to the dismay of Big Daddy Drew of Kissing Suzy Kolber (language may be NSFW), the speculation is that Favre would join the Minnesota Vikings, but according to Yahoo, "Favre told Vikings coach Brad Childress that he wanted to remain retired." Nevertheless, I don?t expect that people will believe that Favre is truly retired until the day Super Bowl 44 is played. Therefore, to end the speculation and the months of "will Brett be back?" stories, I propose that the Pittsburgh Steelers sign Favre. From his perspective, wouldn?t he want one more chance to win a second Super Bowl? The defending Super Bowl champions are one of next season?s top contenders and could give Favre that opportunity.From the Steelers side, we all witnessed what happened after Super Bowl 40. The Steelers finished the season 8-8 and failed to reach the postseason. In his final season as Steelers coach, Bill Cowher did not have his usual e...

Steelers Game Moved To Yom Kippur
2009-04-29 17:51:00 The NFL announced yesterday that the Steelers-Bengals game on Sunday, September 27 has been moved from 1:00 to 4:15 Eastern time. While this isn?t a big deal to most people, it is to me. You see, Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement and holiest day of the year, starts at sundown that Sunday and continues through sundown on Monday. Yom Kippur is a day of reflection and repentance and the only day of the year that I don?t go online, watch television or listen to music or the radio. The change in time means that I won?t be able to watch the game.I certainly understand the NFL?s rationale for moving the game. The league initially scheduled the Titans-Jets game at 4:15 that day, which meant that the Jets would have home games during both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. However, why move the Steelers-Bengals game? The league could have easily moved the Jaguars-Texans game. No one cares about those teams unless you have Jones-Drew or Andre Johnson on your fantasy team! Actually, less pe...

Steelers Draft Ziggy
2009-04-27 15:07:00 I received a text on Saturday evening from my SIL (that would be sister-in-law) notifying me that the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Ziggy. Obviously, I didn?t believe her since Ziggy is still a kitten, but more importantly, didn?t play football in college or attend any of the pre-draft workouts (at least that I know of). However, I have complete faith in Kevin Colbert, the Steelers? director of football operations, and Coach Mike Tomlin, so I trust their judgment. At 8 months, Ziggy is already 10 pounds and could continue to grow, which would work perfectly for a defensive lineman. Although I have never timed Ziggy in the 40-yard dash, I can attest that he is as quick as a cat. In addition, Ziggy has at least a 3-foot vertical leap that he uses to jump from the floor to the kitchen counter. The only negative is that Ziggy has character issues as demonstrated by the pictures below; however, I think the Steelers, and everyone else, just attributes this to Ziggy being young and per...

Steelers Refrigerator
2009-04-22 18:25:00 Can you really call yourself a Pittsburgh Steelers fan if you don't have a Steelers refrigerator? Well, Mark of Maryland is providing you the opportunity of a lifetime through his Craigslist ad. For only $225, you can have a "Pittsburg Steelers refrigerator, plus other Steelers stuff." Major FAIL for spelling Pittsburgh incorrectly.Here a picture of the Steelers frig in all of its glory:This refrigerator doesn't appear to be anything special, does it? Actually, the wheels may be a nice feature. I think I had the same one (without the Steelers logo and sans wheels) in my college room, but it only cost $50.h/t DC Steeler Nation (also accessible at the DCSteelerNation Yahoo group).

2009 Pittsburgh Steelers Schedule
2009-04-15 14:57:00 The NFL released its 2009 schedule Tuesday evening (was it really necessary to have a television special for this?), one of my favorite days of the year. I always study the schedules, not only for football but for other sports, and try to make plans accordingly. Last year, I called the Jacksonville Jaguars and friends and family immediately after the schedule was released in order to make arrangements to see the Steelers in north Florida. Anyway, enough about me and my travel plans.Here is the schedule for your 2009 Pittsburgh Steelers:Thursday, Sept. 10 ? vs. Tennessee, 8:30 p.m. (NBC)Sunday, Sept. 20 - at Chicago, 4:15 p.m. (CBS)Sunday, Sept. 27 - at Cincinnati, 1 p.m. (CBS)Sunday, Oct. 4 ? vs. San Diego, 8:20 p.m. (NBC)Sunday, Oct. 11 - at Detroit, 1 p.m. (CBS)Sunday, Oct. 18 ? vs. Cleveland, 1 p.m. (CBS)Sunday, Oct. 25 ? vs. Minnesota, 4:15 p.m. (FOX)Nov. 1 - ByeMonday, Nov. 9 - at Denver, 8:30 p.m. (ESPN)Sunday, Nov. 15 ? vs. Cincinnati, 1 p.m. (CBS)Sunday, Nov. 22 - at Kans...

Steelers to Loose Super Bowl Trophies
2009-03-25 20:46:00 Yes, this was the subject of an e-mail that was forwarded to me. Not lose, but loose. It only gets worse from there.The Super Bowl XLIII Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, the only team to win six titles, will soon be loosing half of those trophies. After a meeting between NFL Commissioner Rodger Gadel (Sean's note: Rodger Gadel? Really?) and President Barack Hussain Obama, Obama decided to redistribute half of their Steeler Super Bowl victories and trophies to less fortunate teams in the league."We live everyday in the country that invented the Super Bowl." said Obama "We are not about to lose this Great American tradition in the wake of these difficult times." Obama?s plan calls for the Steelers, who are a successful NFL team, to give half of their Super Bowl trophies to teams that are not successful or have not been as successful as the Steelers. "The Detroit Loins are just as much a part of the same fiber of the NFL as the Steelers and they should, no rather will, be entitled to a...

Will the Cardinals defeat Steelers?
2009-02-01 22:35:00 Do you think that Arizona Cardinals will defeat Pittsburgh Steelers? I really don't know. No one can tell right now because the game is not over yet. There are chances that Pittsburgh Steelers will beat the Arizona Cardinals and there are also chances that Arizona Cardinals will beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. Let's all watch Super Bowl 2009 Live Stream and see who will win between these two champions! Both are so good, both are so clever, but let's wait and see what will happen this February 1, 2009 at Tamba Bay, Florida. This will be a very very exciting match and we're so excited to see the winner of this event!

Super Bowl Game Day Links for Steelers Fans
2009-02-01 17:36:00 Are you spending the day waiting for Super Bowl XLIII to begin? Here are some links, especially if you?re a Steelers fan, to help you pass the time until kick-off:There is an incredible list of Steelers fight songs on the Steelers in Hoboken website. I?m still a huge fan of the Polamalu Song.You can?t have a Steelers? Super Bowl without hearing Myron Cope. This site has dozens of Cope quotes.The New York Times and ESPN both have wonderful articles about the history and legacy of the Terrible Towel.Michael Wilbon wrote a nice article about Dan Rooney. I love Ryan Clark?s quote comparing Rooney to Washington owner Dan Snyder:"I'm not saying one way is better than another," Clark said, "But you're standing in line to get lunch, and you have to force him to go ahead of you. He sat at my bedside when I was sick [in the hospital]. He's a fascinating guy. He drives a Grand Prix. I can't help but compare it to Dan Snyder's driver and limousine, and the helicopter he'd land at prac...

1/29/09 - Steelers - Defense and Character
2009-01-29 22:37:00 The Cards have that fabulous passing game but their character is still suspect, especially on that defense. They have a history of folding. The Steelers never fold.

Steelers Links and Random Stuff
2009-01-28 15:28:00 - Two fellow Woodland Hills High School graduates are on this year?s Super Bowl teams. I hope that Steve Breaston loses two fumbles on Sunday, but has 1,500 yards receiving and 10+ touchdowns next year (especially if he?s on my fantasy team). Meanwhile, is Ryan Mundy even on the Steelers' 53-man roster? Regardless, take that Penn Hills and Gateway!- Sign up for a five-minute shift to be part of the world?s longest Terrible Towel Wave.- Cotter wrote about the fact that there are 43 strip clubs in Tampa and the Cardinals arrival. I?m linking to the post because he is the first person I know to have bought a Snuggie. (One For The Other Thumb)- Have you seen this picture (by Ross D.

Pittsburg Steelers Vs Tennesee Titans - Titans Win 31 - 14
2008-12-22 22:08:00 The Tennesee Titans wrapped up home field advantage for the playoffs with this win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. But something tells me they're not going to go all the way. It's not a statistically-based observation, just a feeling.
Steelers-Titans Thoughts
2008-12-22 15:42:00 - Just for a little perspective, over the past four games, the Steelers won at New England, against Dallas and at Baltimore before losing Sunday at a 13-2 Tennessee team. If someone told you before stretch that the Steelers would go 3-1, I think you would be happy. - As for Sunday?s game, way too many turnovers for the Steelers. The Roethlisberger fumble inside the Titans' 5 was crucial. Even if the Steelers get a field goal there, it?s a different game. - What was the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty when the Titans were preparing for a field goal attempt near the end of the third quarter? Who was it against?- Do we have a running game? Stop with the draw/delay plays to Parker. - Cleveland got shut out by the Bengals today as Ryan Fitzpatrick threw only 9 passes and Cedric Benson had 38 rushes for 171 yards. If the Steelers can't run against the Browns next week, we're going to be in trouble in the playoffs.- I think we've been spoiled over the past month or so by all of the t...

Steelers Win AFC North
2008-12-15 15:40:00 As a Steelers fan, it feels great seeing Pittsburgh win the AFC North and earn a first-round playoff bye at the expense of the Ravens, especially in Baltimore. Sunday?s game proves what I have been saying for years: contrary to what many Steelers fans believe, Pittsburgh?s biggest rival is clearly the Baltimore Ravens and not the Cleveland Browns. While it may be mean and a bit of schadenfreude, just looking at the picture below makes me, and I?m sure other Steelers fans, smile.The game itself lived up to the hype as both defenses dominated. Through the first 57 minutes, the Ravens outplayed the Steelers, particularly on special teams and in the defense?s ability to create turnovers. However, when the game was in question, the Steelers led by Ben Roethlisberger, Hines Ward and Nate Washington made big plays and the Ravens defense could not respond.Congratulations to the Steelers for winning the AFC North!

Steelers-Patriots Recap
2008-12-01 15:10:00 I?m going to do things a little different for this week?s Steelers recap. If you?re looking for detailed analysis about how the Pittsburgh held New England to 10 points and the Patriots offense to 1 of 13 on third down conversions or the punting abilities of Mitch Berger, go somewhere else. May I recommend the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Instead, I want to point out the following real and fictional New England Patriots players who contributed to the Steelers win.The turning point of the game occurred part-way through the third quarter. Leading 13-10 after a Jeff Reed field goal, Matthew "AC" Slater fumbled the kick-off, and the ball was recovered by Keyaron Fox. Two plays later, Ben Roethlisberger hit Hines Ward for an 11-yard touchdown.Maybe this wasn?t noticed by everyone, but Sam "Clay" Aiken had two special teams holding penalties for New England. After another Reed field goal to give the Steelers a 23-10 lead, the Patriots returned the kick-off to midfield. However, Aiken?s hold...

Steelers Questions
2008-11-18 15:54:00 Is James Harrison the first person in NFL history to be responsible for a safety for both his team and the opposing team in the same season? I can?t take credit for this question as I think Messiah asked this during our liveblog of the Steelers-Chargers game.Good question posed on DC Steeler Nation. Since the Steelers and Arizona Cardinals are both in first place and have identical 7-3 records, who would you rather as the coach of the Steelers: Mike Tomlin or Ken Whisenhunt? I may or may not share my answer later.Photo: Getty Images

Election Maps, Steelers and Great Authors
2008-11-06 15:50:00 My life the last few days has focused almost entirely on the election and the Steelers? Monday night game, though not necessarily in that order. I have a few links about both:I love maps and have spent way too much time looking at the county-by-county results of the Presidential election. From the map, only one county in the six New England states went to McCain: Piscataquis, Maine.Conversely, McCain won every Oklahoma county, and Obama only won two counties each in Wyoming and Utah and three counties in Kansas and Nevada. Of course, winning Clark County, home of Las Vegas, was enough for Obama to carry that state. McCain also won both Mineral counties. That would be Mineral County, Nevada where 49 total people voted and Mineral County, Colorado which had a whopping 64 voters. I spent over 20 minutes trying to verify these numbers from the Mineral County government websites, but I don?t think these counties have actual websites.According to the Pennsylvania map from the Pittsb...

Steelers-Redskins Recap
2008-11-04 15:20:00 I?m going on about five hours of sleep after attending Monday night?s Pittsburgh Steelers-Washington Redskins game. Since I need to head to work sometime soon (hooray for getting two hours off to vote so I slept five hours instead of four!), here are my notes from FedEx Field:- I saw at least a half dozen signs of Cooley for President or Portis for President. We get it; there?s an election on Tuesday and you feel like Cooley and Portis will represent the country better than McCain or Obama. That?s very clever and unbelievably original! If only Portis or Cooley were over 35 and eligible to be President.- The Redskins announcer sounded similar to Duff Man. Of course, his enthusiasm seemed to lessen in the fourth quarter. Oh, don?t tell me to cheer when the Redskins are on defense and to stay quiet when they are on offense. I?ll cheer when I want to cheer! Basically, don't tell me what to do as I may have the Reactance Bias.- Are the Redskins the only team in the NFL with a ma...

I Voted - Go Steelers
2008-11-03 15:41:00 Thanks to early voting in Virginia, I cast my ballot last week. Therefore, to all political candidates in the Washington DC area, you can stop trying to convince me to vote for you. You can continue to show your television advertisements while I?m watching football, but I don?t need to look. Show Chris Berman interviewing Obama and McCain during halftime of Monday night football; I don?t care. I?m not going to watch it as I?ll be at FedEx Field. I just hope that the Redskins don?t show these interviews at the stadium.Monday night?s game is the reason why I voted early. I won?t get home from the game until early Tuesday morning, so trying to wake up, wait over an hour in line to vote and then get to work at a reasonable hour just wasn?t going to happen.One surprising name on the presidential ballot was a Wayne A. Root, the Vice Presidential candidate on the Libertarian ticket. Without knowing this individual, I wondered if it was Wayne Allyn Root, the Vegas sports handicapper ...

Steelers-Giants Recap
2008-10-27 15:13:00 The Pittsburgh Steelers had a lead late in the fourth quarter at home and lost. Ben Roethlisberger was sacked five times, hit at least another dozen times and threw four interceptions. The team was 1 for 10 on third down, 0 for 4 on fourth down and had 8 penalties for 59 yards, many of them pretty stupid penalties. Plus, the Steelers defense who led the league in sacks coming into the game, failed to register a sack and rarely put pressure on Eli Manning. It was clearly not one of their best games.However, let?s take a step back and put everything into perspective. The Steelers are 5-2 and have a one game lead over Baltimore, who they already defeated, in the AFC North. The 5-2 record is tied for second best in the AFC with New England and Buffalo behind only the undefeated Tennessee Titans. The Steelers are 5-0 against AFC teams, a very important playoff tie-breaker, which along with the Titans, is the best in the conference. Yes, the team has some work to do, but there?s n...

Giants outlast Steelers
2008-10-27 00:44:00 This year is the 50th anniversary of the Giants loss to the Colts in the 1958 Title game. The Giants just completed a game with a victory that will eventually take it's place in the annals of history as one of the best regular season games ever to be played, miscues and all. It was truly a back and forth battle that saw The Giants PK John Carney(no relation to Art) boot 4 Field Goals and the Xtra Point after the winning TD. The Giants also Took 4 Interceptions away from the Steelers and Big Ben Roethlisberger, including the Steelers final offensive play of the game. The Giants defense also tallied 5 sacks and 9 Knockdowns on Big Ben. It was truly a clash of Titans, of 1 loss teams, and had been billed as a possible preview of Superbowl 43. While NY still does not look as "super" as they did in January but careful observers will tall you that Good teams find a way to win, and today, with the Steelers managing to slow the Giants offense and keep them out of the endzone until late in ...
Steelers-Jaguars Recap
2008-10-08 15:17:00 I?ll preface this post by writing that I have no idea what Al Michaels or John Madden said during Sunday night?s Pittsburgh Steelers-Jacksonville Jaguars game. I have not read recaps of the game by Pittsburgh newspapers, national sports websites or the Pittsburgh sports related blogs listed on my links list. The following are my comments, thoughts and pictures from attending the game live.This picture was taken a half hour before game time. Notice the large banner covering two sections on the top left and the Jaguars banner behind the end zone. Apparently, these seats and several other sections throughout the stadium are completely covered during the entire season to help the team avoid blackouts. That would never happen for the Steelers. Oh, Jacksonville has no problem selling these seats for the Florida-Georgia college football game.I really don?t know what to write about these guys. They were loud and somewhat annoying, but overall, pretty cool. Of course, I was not sitti...

Steelers-Browns and Other Stuff
2008-09-11 16:21:00 Before I write about this Sunday?s Steelers-Browns game, take a quick look at the date of this post. I can?t believe that it has been seven years since that horrific day. Please take a moment of silence or reflection today to remember those who lost their lives in New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania seven years ago today.Thank you.I feel like it?s time to revisit my post from September 2007 when I wrote that the Pittsburgh Steelers-Cleveland Browns series is no longer a rivalry. Since returning to Cleveland in 1999, the Steelers are 16-3 against the Browns including the Wild Card round win during the 2002 season. The last time Cleveland defeated Pittsburgh was October 5, 2003. That?s not a rivalry. Until the Browns hire Bill Cowher, win the division or defeat the Steelers more than three times in nine years, it?s just another divisional game no more or no less important than the games against Baltimore or Cincinnati.Finally, when you have a few minutes, check out the following...

Joe Biden is a Steelers Fan
2008-09-03 15:41:00 I knew there was a reason why I liked Senator and Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden. From The Washington Post (near the end of the article):On Friday night, when Obama and Biden met Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh, Biden recounted how "Old Mr. Rooney" -- Steelers owner Dan Rooney -- dispatched some players from his championship team to the hospital room in Wilmington where Biden's two toddler sons, Beau and Hunter, were recovering from the accident. They brought the boys an autographed football as a Christmas present. "And I have been a Steelers fan since that day," Biden told Tomlin.I?m wondering whether The Washington Post meant Art Rooney. Regardless, it was a nice thing for the Steelers to do.(from The Burgh Blog)The Washington Times has more about Mike Tomlin?s interaction with Barack Obama and Joe Biden."You've brightened what has been a miserable day," Tomlin told Obama. "I had to cut 23 guys this morning. Hardest day of the year."Obama told Tomlin, "Your own...

2008-07-29 16:45:00 The new Emeril Green show airing on Planet Green is looking for Redskins fans to appear on the show to cook tailgating food with Chef Emeril Lagasse. If you are interested, send an email to foodshowcasting@gmail.com and be sure to include the following: name, address, occupation, age, and a little bit of info on what your current tailgating meal includes. I was told that the show is looking for Redskins fans because the show is taped "in the DC area so we need someone who is local." Regardless, if you?re a Steelers fan or a fan of another NFL team, you have my approval to send them an e-mail.Meanwhile, Mosser Casting is seeking Steelers fans as extras for the short film Tommy and Me on Saturday, August 9 at Heinz Field. There is no pay, but they will have BYO tailgate afterwards. However, you can?t just show up; you need to contact Ray Werner, the creator of the film, in advance. Ray needs your name, and you need information of where to go, how to dress (lots of black and gold...

Steelers Trivia
2008-07-08 13:48:00 I received a Pittsburgh Steelers calendar as a gift last December which proudly sits on my office desk. It is a daily calendar which alternates between a Steelers fact and a Steelers trivia question. Unfortunately, the calendar seems to focus on a Steeler player drafted recently and spends at least a week on this individual. I feel like I know more about Marvin Philip and Trai Essex than most people should. Last week?s featured player: Clark Haggans.July 2: Linebacker Clark Haggans began his college career at Colorado State as a walk-on defensive end before going on to become the school?s all-time sacks leader.July 3: Steelers linebackers Clark Haggans and Joey Porter were college teammates. At what school did they play together?Really? Besides the fact that Joey Porter hasn?t been on the Steelers since the 2006-2007 season, does the maker of the calendar really think you have no short-term memory? Even if you didn?t know that Haggans attended Colorado State, I would hope tha...

State of the Franchise: The Pittsburgh Steelers
2008-05-22 21:30:00 After reaching the pinnacle of the NFL mountain by winning the Super Bowl at the end of the 2005 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers succumbed to a hangover more accustomed to afflicting the losing team in a Super Bowl.

Steelers Gear in Seattle
2008-04-04 13:14:00 My Seattle vacation is only days away, but I have not started packing for the trip. However, after reading this article from last week, I may not bring any Steelers gear:A 24-year-old South Kitsap man ? and self-proclaimed Seattle Seahawks fan ? was arrested Sunday for allegedly spitting on the hamburger he prepared for a man wearing Pittsburgh Steelers attire, according to Kitsap County Sheriff's Office reports.Deputies said the 37-year-old man in Steelers garb took his daughters to a Mile Hill Drive fast food restaurant Saturday evening, and "began trading friendly barbs about his team and their victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XL," reports said.One employee told the man that he'd "better not say that to the guy that's making your food," but the man thought it was a joke, reports said.That is, until he opened his "clamshell-style" hamburger container and discovered what he called a "loogie" on his hamburger.The 37-year-old told his daughters to stop eating, dema...
