Leave it to James Harrison. The Pittsburgh Steelers outside LB was interviewed recently for an article in Men’s Journal.

Ben Roethlisberger’s fiance

This past December, Pittsburgh Steeler Ben Roethlisberger asked 26-year-old Ashley Harlan for her hand in marriage.  Since that day, the NFL world hasn’t gotten a chance to know Ashley, their relationship, and why her father has worn a Haloti Ngata jersey for 104 days straight.  These questions are starting to be answered. In an interview [...]

Steeler Nation Pouting

Prior to Sunday’s Super Bowl, Steeler Nation was quick to point out their six rings and the “Stairway to 7.”  Since then?  I’ve heard nothing but excuses.  Granted, this doesn’t speak for everyone out there, as I have a few buddies who know when they’ve been beaten.  But the overwhelming majority of the loudmouths have [...]

How Do You Rank ‘Em?

For all the talk about QB’s and who belongs where… I think it’s pretty clear who’s who in the NFL.  Some are elite.  Some are on their way.  Others are simply overrated.  If you had your choice, all things considered, who do you want to be the QB of your team?  The theory is simple.  [...]

Mendenhall humps Roethlisberger (video)

How ironic. At the beginning of the year, Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger was suspended for four games because the NFL didn’t appreciate it when he forced himself on young coeds. And to finish up the year and their run to the Super Bowl, it looks like Rashard Mendenhall is giving Big Ben the same [...]

Roethlisberger Deserves Props

Ask me to chose?  I’ll take Philadelphia.  While Pittsburgh has the rings and the cups, I’ll take Philadelphia.  The truth is, it has nothing to do with the teams!  Albeit, I never was and never will be a fan of Sidney Crosby, I think the Pens are a tough team.  The Pirates are an absolute [...]

Perry’s Week Six NFL Picks: Upset City

Seattle Seahawks (+6.5) over Chicago Bears Two teams have never controlled their own destiny this early in a season more than the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks. If either team wins out, they will win their respective divisions, which makes this Week Six match-up OTR’s Featured Game Of The Week. Unfortunately, for the Seahawks, Sunday’s [...]

Dixon heads to injured reserve

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be getting a quarterback soon. That’s a good thing because they just lost one for the entire season. The team placed Dennis Dixon on injured reserve with a torn left lateral meniscus. This obviously ends his season. This means that Byron Leftwich and Charlie Batch will remain on the team’s roster [...]

Mike Wise backtracks on his Big Ben story

Ref kind of admits he blew the Super Bowl for the Seahawks

In Super Bowl XL, the Pittsburgh Steelers knocked off the Seattle Seahawks in what was one of the worst Super Bowls of all time. The game was relatively close at 21-10, but in general, it stunk. It was awful because the Steelers weren’t all that great and their QB Ben Roethlisberger had a horrific, rape-like [...]

Did Big Ben urinate on a golf course?

This really wouldn’t be a big deal at all if Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger wasn’t already in so much hot water with the NFL. There was a report that Big Ben was accused of urinating on a golf course, but it seems now that he was falsely identified by the woman who called to [...]

Colon to miss entire 2010 season

This isn’t good for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their offensive line essentially stinks and they can’t afford to lose anyone. Especially if it’s their best lineman. Well, that’s what happened when Willie Colon went down with a busted Achilles. Now, Jason La Canfora tweets that he’ll undergo surgery on Wednesday to repair it and he’ll miss [...]

Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II has surely heard and felt the ire of the fans regarding the behavior QB Ben Roethlisberger.

According to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter, Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger will be getting a 4-6 game suspension. It’s a conditional suspension that will be dependent on Roethlisberger’s behavior and compliance with evaluators.
