Steeler Nation lost a little angel on Friday, Jan. 29, 2010, as Heather Sue Miller passed away at her home surrounded by her loving family. Heather visited one of the Steelers mini camps last year. Here is her obituary if you feel compelled to leave a message.
It seems like yesterday, but it was one year ago today that Steelers won their 6th Super Bowl in Super Bowl XLIII 43. The link will bring back a few memories.
truTV is revealing its first-ever Super Bowl ad today, giving viewers an early glimpse at how the network will bring NFL fans what they've always wanted – six more weeks of football. The Groundhog Day-themed spot features Troy Polamalu and the ad promotes the new truTV series NFL FULL CONTACT, which premieres the day after the Super Bowl.

Speaking of Troy Polamalu, he was named to the NFL’s all-decade team for the 2000s. Polamalu is the only current Steelers player selected to the 53-man team.
Linebacker James Harrison intercepted a pass by Tony Romo in the Pro Bowl last night and it helped secure the win for the AFC. It is always nice to see a Steelers player own someone from the Cowboys. You can see the replay of the interception below in the video below at the 1:39 mark.
Harrison explained to Scott Brown that his sack total was down in 2009 because he was blitzing less and dropping into coverage more during the season.
If you missed the interview I did with newly signed CFL linebacker Derrick Doggett, you can read it here. Doggett told me the Steelers plan to try him as a linebacker instead of a safety.
Tim Graham of ESPN has a short article on new offensive line coach Sean Kugler. Graham reports the Bills offensive-line woes in 2009 weren't Kugler's fault.
The Steelers have not yet named a new special teams coach and the Redskins Danny Smith might stay with the Redskins and former Bills ST coach Bobby April might be waiting for the biggest offer. The Steelers have been in talks with both, but to what true extent is not yet known.

Yesterday we mentioned that Troy Polamalu will be in a Super Bowl commercial this year for truTV. Here is a promo for the show that starts this February. truTV and NFL Films will provide unprecedented, exclusive access to what really goes on behind the scenes of professional football. The series, which premieres Monday, Feb. 8, at 10 p.m. (ET/PT), will follow the action from draft day to the Super Bowl, showing football fans what happens beyond the playing field. Sounds like a must see for the offseason blues.
Make sure to vote for the Mike Wallace game winning touchdown at the end of the Packers game for the Sprint Can't-Miss Play of the Year. Tune in to NFL Network at 4:00 PM EST on Saturday, February 6th for the Sprint Can't-Miss Play of the Year announcement. Lets make sure the rookie wins this.
Zaxby's has released some new commercials featuring Steelers Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw. Speaking of Bradshaw, new Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett has admitted to kicking Bradshaw in the head while with Buffalo. Maybe that is why Terry seems to have a screw loose these days. The video of the incident is below.
