By on Thursday, February 2nd, 2012 | 6 Comments

Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Fame wide receiver Lynn Swann was making the rounds today on radio row at the Super Bowl promoting the free Burger King giveaway of onion rings this upcoming weekend. Swann sat down for a quick interview with Dave Dameshek and Adam Rank from NFL.com and Dameshek asked Swann his thoughts on the comments made last week by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger at the Pro Bowl where he said once he returns from Hawaii he will seek out team president Art Rooney II to find out what direction the Steelers offense will move in now that offensive coordinator Bruce Arians is gone.

Hines Ward Hall Of Fame Bound Update

By on Friday, June 17th, 2011 | 2 Comments

With the recent announcement by Steelers receiver Hines Ward that he would like to play a couple of more seasons, it is time to once again look at his credentials and chances of one day being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Here is my post last offseason on Ward for a reference point when I last posted about his run to Canton. First and foremost, Ward is the leading receiver in Steelers history in receptions (954), receiving yardage (11,702) and touchdown catches (84). He has more receptions than Steelers Hall of Fame receivers John Stallworth and Lynn Swann combined. He also leads Read more [...]

By on Sunday, March 13th, 2011 | No Comments

There was football Friday night in Pittsburgh as the new Pittsburgh Power Arena Football team nearly came from behind in the final seconds to beat the Philadelphia Soul. The game was broadcast on the NFL Network and was fun to watch. If you were not aware, former Steelers receiver Lynn Swann is a part owner of the team. Now that the lockout has begun, Steelers President Art Rooney II talked about the NFL labor situation in a Q&A format on Steelers.com. Pro Days are going on nearly everyday now and Steelers legend and current scout Joe Greene was present at the TCU Pro Day on Friday perhaps Read more [...]

You Need The James Harrison Hits In The NFL Roger Goodell, You Hypocrite

By on Tuesday, October 19th, 2010 | 9 Comments

The word came out this afternoon that Patriots linebacker Brandon Meriweather, Falcons defensive back Dunta Robinson and Steelers linebacker James Harrison all have been fined by the league office with Harrison getting the largest fine of $75,000, $25,000 more than both Meriweather and Robinson because he is termed as a repeat offender. What NFL football operations executive Ray Anderson and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell fail to see is that the NFL needs these type hits. They profit from these hits too. NFL Films has released these video compilations since as long as I can remember. These hits Read more [...]

The woman that is suing Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes over a March 7th nightclub incident has changed her mind and now wants criminal charges filed against him. Anshonae Mills originally declined to press charges and stated that she didn’t want to get Holmes in trouble. Police have decided to re-activate the case that was closed on Tuesday of this week. Holmes’ lawyer is turning up the heat as well. Looks like another soap opera like story line that will play out through the Summer. Ed Bouchette reports that free agent running back Willie Parker talked to Steelers coach Mike Tomlin Read more [...]

A Crazy Few Days Steeler Nation May Never Forget

By on Tuesday, March 9th, 2010 | 1 Comment

If you bleed black and gold, the last few days have been a wild ride. It started with Steeler Nation headed into the yearly free agency drudgery of knowing that free safety Ryan Clark would likely be gone for good and all we would have to show for signings come April would be a Cedric Wilson/Shaun McDonald type player. You know, the same old stuff leading up to April’s draft. March is usually an uneventful time for us Steelers fans, but this March is one that will be remembered for both good and bad. Midnight of free agency came and went Thursday with only the big name signings making waves. Ho Read more [...]

Steelers Six From Around The Web – Thursday May 21st

By on Thursday, May 21st, 2009 | No Comments

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger does not have cancer and does not have a Facebook page. Browns fans are very jealous at times, so do not be alarmed. The internet should not be allowed access to Browns, Bengals and Ravens fans as they do not know how to use it ethically. Steelers linebacker Bruce Davis snatched up No. 50, which had been worn by Larry Foote. Many of his teammates didn’t realize he was making the change and did a double-take on the field on Tuesday. Geez Bruce, let’s worry about making the final 53 man roster first. Pittsburgh police Chief Nate Harper and four other Read more [...]

By on Saturday, March 7th, 2009 | No Comments

Two great Steelers of the past share birthdays today. Franco Harris and Lynn Swann. Harris, who turns 59 today, began his career as the Steelers number one pick and the 13th player selected overall in the 1972 NFL Draft. For 12 seasons, the 6-2, 230-pounder from Penn State was a big-yardage running back and a key force in the powerful Pittsburgh running game. Swann, who turns 57 today, was the Steelers number one draft pick and 21st player selected overall in the 1974 NFL Draft. Swann played nine seasons with the Steelers and was a big force in the passing game that produced four Super Bowl Read more [...]
