Once Dan Rooney is confirmed by the Senate as United States Ambassador to Ireland, he will reportedly step down as chairman of the Steelers.

Scott Brown from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review has an article about seventh round draft pick, A.Q. Shipley, and his short arms and big determination. Will really need training camp to start so all of this can be solved on the field.

Jim Wexell penned an article for the The Tribune-Democrat about number one draft pick, Ziggy Hood and the early reviews on him in mini camp.

Ratbirds fullback-halfback Le'Ron McClain, apparently looks about 20 pounds over his playing weight at mini camps and running back Willis McGahee opted out of this week’s OTA’s. Tony Lombardi writes that McGahee is the Willis Buffalo warned them about.

Bungals quarterback, Carson Palmer, softened his stance on Ocho Stinko in another radio interview this week. Stinko has skipped the team's offseason workouts this Summer.

Looks like Plaxico Burress is having a hard time finding a new team as reportedly the Dolphins do not want him. Worse comes to worse, I am sure the Bengals will sign him.
