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 this week, and would not rule out a return to the Steelers. Parker described his feelings as "a little salty," not bitter, and that he definitely is not ready to retire. The Steelers could really use the depth and experience Parker would offer.

Scott Brown has a little closer look at the 13 pre draft visitors that the Steelers have brought to Pittsburgh so far. The Steelers will not bring in any more visitors until after Easter, but we have a list of those that are confirmed to come soon.

Wide receiver Hines Ward shares his pre draft story with Teresa Varley of Steelers.com. Leading up to the draft, this will be a regular feature on the team's website. Ward states that he thought Tampa Bay or Indianapolis would be the team that drafted him.

NFL.com Senior Analyst, Pat Kirwan list the AFC team-by-team draft needs. He list the Steelers needing CB, DE, QB, RB and LT. He seems to forget a future center and younger safety. I also do not see quarterback and running back as needs, regardless of the Roethlisberger situation. Pat missed the boat on this one.

Hall of Fame Steelers wide receiver Lynn Swann will be walking around the Masters next weekend in his green jacket as he is a new member of Augusta National Golf Club.

I had to add one extra item as Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman was punked by Rich Eisen and the NFL Total Access crew yesterday on April Fools day. Watch the video below:

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 hum, nothing strange there. Friday Steeler Nation was staring at another nightmare. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was being accused on Friday afternoon of sexual assault by a young woman in Georgia. The second such accusation in a calendar years time. The Roethlisberger news was trumping many free agent signings and had the Steelers back in the news for all the wrong reasons. Act 2 of the Roethlisberger saga will carry on for some time, but it was not the start to the new NFL season Steelers fans needed.

The weekend rolled around and we were treated to the news that 49ers free agent wide receiver Arnaz Battle would be visiting the South Side on Monday. Ah, our Cedric Wilson/Shaun McDonald type player would come early this year. Then the news that safety Will Allen may be in town on Monday as well. Ok, maybe some safety depth and special teams help there. By Sunday night, no one knew the flurry of things that would happen on Monday that can brighten a fan base. Not only were Battle and Allen signed to contracts. Reserve tackle Jonathan Scott was being brought in to fight for a depth spot on the offensive line and the name Larry Foote was surfacing again as being a long shot to come back to the Steelers. Monday was not looking bad at all as far as Steelers fans go.

In the evening on Monday is when the fireworks started. Free safety Ryan Clark had a change of heart while visiting the Dolphins and told his agent Joel Turner he wanted to go back home. Clark said get it done and Turner reached a 4 year deal with the Steelers that is cap friendly and averages $3.5 million a season. If this news wasn't good enough, the word came out at about the same time that receiver Antwaan Randle El would be coming back to the team that had drafted him as well. El will provide some veteran leadership and ensure that the Steelers have some receiver depth on the roster as well. The contract details are sketchy at this point, but early word is that it is just over the minimum and will not break the bank going forward. Even if Foote ends up not coming back, free agency has been successful thus far. The Steelers were staring at a gaping hole in the secondary and slew of young receivers behind veterans Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes. Both holes have been quickly patched and the Steelers will now the luxury of drafting the best player available in the draft instead of feeling locked into one particular position.

The Roethlisberger thing will hopefully be worked out soon, with Big Ben being exonerated. Free agency has definitely help turn a few frowns upside down in Steeler Nation. I am 42 years young and I do not remember a day like Monday in several, several years as a Steeler fan. Without a doubt these few days will likely be forever etched in our brains going forward in Steelers lore. Let's hope it culminates in our 7th championship. Oh, I almost forgot. Hines Ward turned 34 on Monday and Steeler legends Franco Harris and Lynn Swann celebrated birthdays on Sunday. What a week.

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 police officers who were among the first to arrive in Stanton Heights on the morning of April 4, when a gunman killed three of their colleagues will join the Steelers on their trip to the White House.

Mewelde Moore and Max Starks let Mike Bires know why they can’t wait to meet President Obama.

The International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame announced last week that Hall of Fame receiver Lynn Swann will be the third inductee into the Bowling Hall of Fame Celebrities Exhibit and the first to be in-ducted into the brand new museum to be completed in early 2010.

Funny to hear blabbermouth Joe Theismann blast back on Tony Kornheiser. Personally I could not stand either of them on Monday Night Football.

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 championships.
