Steelers Six From Around The Web – Monday July 25th – Hope Running Out In Tennessee Edition

By Dave Bryan on Monday, July 25th, 2011 | No Comments

Albert Breer reports that all what remains is “a few small points” in the language and the goal is for the NFLPA to be able to present the completed document to its 13-man executive committee today with a vote to follow. Breer reports that the doors would open Tuesday and teams will be allowed to sign draftees and rookie free agents. Free agency would then begin Friday at 6 p.m. ET. The Titans could make veteran safety Chris Hope a salary cap causality over the next few days. Hope was a 3rd round draft pick of the Steelers back in 2002. I doubt he would stay on the market very long, so I Read more [...]

Steelers LB James Harrison Commercial Ends With Dented Truck

By Dave Bryan on Monday, June 6th, 2011 | No Comments

Steelers linebacker James Harrison alerted everyone via his Facebook page this past weekend to a commercial he recently shot for Richard Bazzy’s Shults Ford in which Harrison shoves Bazzy aside when he hears the word blitz. The commercial is pretty cheesy in typical low budget local car commercial fashion, but Harrison seems to carry through fine with what they wanted him to do just the same. The second video is a blooper of sorts and actually shows Bazzy denting the truck after being pushed aside by Harrison. There is no word yet if Harrison will be fined for the incident and I doubt that Bazzy Read more [...]

NFL Network 2011 Top 100 Players Rankings 100-61 With Approximate Value Numbers

By Dave Bryan on Monday, May 23rd, 2011 | No Comments

Every Sunday night and Monday morning the hot topic of discussion as of late is the Top 100 Players of 2011 rankings that the NFL Network is currently doing. The players were voted on and ranked reportedly by all of the players in the league and the network is releasing 10 a week as they count backwards from 100 to 1. Every week there are a few jaw droppers and nearly every player evokes some sort of discussion. I like the discussion more than the rankings as it certainly seems to be a popularity contest more than it does anything else. As of last night they have made it to #61 and have thus Read more [...]

By Dave Bryan on Tuesday, May 10th, 2011 | No Comments

Steelers linebacker James Harrison looks to be about fully recovered from his two offseason back surgeries he has had at the start of the offseason. As you can see in the video below he posted to his Facebook page today, Harrison is back doing strenuous pushups and shows that his abs are coming back as well. Harrison had his first surgery on his lower back in the later part of February to remove part of a herniated disk, but needed a follow-up procedure just a few weeks later to clean up the previous procedure. At that time the recovery was expected to take around six weeks or so until Harrison Read more [...]

It appears as if Steelers right outside linebacker James Harrison is undergoing another back surgery today to clean up something else they found after is first surgery that took place less than two weeks ago. In his initial surgery, doctors removed a piece of herniated disc off a nerve in his back. Harrison announced the surgery news via his Facebook page.

He is however glad they caught it now and not later and it Read more [...]

Gerry Dulac looks at how the Steelers coaching staff might turnover next year including Arians and linebacker coach Keith Butler. The Steelers are 10/1 odds to win it all next year in 2012 Super Bowl XLVI. Right behind the Packers at 7/1 and Patriots at Read more [...]

We hope we are wrong and Pouncey is healed by then, but just in case, we are releasing our Super Bowl movie poster of “The Big Legursky”. We hope you like it on Facebook and share it on Twitter.

James Harrison Facebook Post

By Dave Bryan on Thursday, December 2nd, 2010 | 2 Comments

I am not 100% sure that James Harrison wrote this or not or if it was written by an employee of his or a volunteer of his foundation. It was on his Facebook page and is a great read nonetheless. You need to be the judge of it’s authenticity or validity. Here is what is to believed to be his official Fan Page on Facebook. I’m going to rant one good time and get it over with. So the NFL says they are extremely worried about player safety, right? But the League wants to add two more games and make it an 18 game season even though they are fully aware of the physical toll playing the game takes Read more [...]
