It looks like the Tennessee Titans are understanding the power of the Terrible Towel. LenDale White and Keith Bulluck sent an autographed towel to The Allegheny Valley School so they could auction it off on eBay an keep the proceeds. The pair famously stomped on the Terrible Towel when they beat the Steelers in 2008. Until last week, they had not won a game since they disrespected the towel. The signed Terrible Towel came with a note that said, "LenDale and Keith wish you all the best. P.S., Please release the curse." The bidding for the towel started at $100.
You can see the auction at the link below:

Still trying to confirm reports, but Jim Morris of the NFL Alumni Fourth & Goal Foundation reported on his Twitter page that the father of Steelers defensive back, Anthony Madison has died. Madison left practice earlier today. The thoughts and prayers go out to the Madison family from the Steeler Nation..
Below is a table I put together of the 2008 rushing offense play direction report. You can see they ran best around the left end, but did it the least and ran up the middle the most for a rank of 28th in the league.

Well the offseason is here and between the Steelers celebrating their sixth Super Bowl championship and the NFL combine starting next week, I thought we would have a little fun. As many Steeler fans already know, our defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau was once a stunt double in the 1970 movie, Too Late the Hero, starring Michael Caine. LeBeau was the movie stunt double for Caine while still playing for the Detroit Lions. LeBeau even has his own IMDB page. As of this blog post, the page is up 48% in popularity this week. What a great tribute it would be to drive that pages traffic through the roof. As big as Steeler Nation is, this should be a piece of cake. Just email this post to all of your fellow Steeler fans and click on his page link I listed above. Do it multiple times a day even if you are board and let's watch his popularity rise and let the world know who Dick LeBeau is.
