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.

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. Read more [...]
