After the Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the Houston Texans on Sunday, their quarterback was in a walking boot. Nothing like losing a winnable game and seeing your Super Bowl-winning QB banged up as well. Well, there is some good news for Steelers fans. It’s not broken. Sources tell Chris Mortensen of ESPN that an MRI [...]
Leave it to James Harrison. The Pittsburgh Steelers outside LB was interviewed recently for an article in Men’s Journal. He was asked about a ton of things, including the 2004 season when they lost to the Patriots in the AFC Championship game and he said that they stole their signals. “They got busted for it [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
According to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger will wear a plastic protective mask over his face on Sunday when they host the Cincinnati Bengals. You may or may not remember that Big Ben was handed a broken nose by the Ravens last Sunday night. Roethlisberger had surgery this week to [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Jason La Canfora of NFL Network that the suspension for Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger has been reduced from six game to four.

He has left [...]
Friday is a big day for the Pittsburgh Steelers, their fans, and fantasy owners who selected Ben Roethlisberger in the 12th round of their fantasy drafts to back-up Brett Favre.

You may or may not have heard by now that Mike Wise of the Washington Post sent out a fake tweet today regarding Ben Roethlisberger’s suspension. He tweeted, “Roethlisberger will get five games, I’m told.” Coming from someone like Wise who works at the Post, it’s safe to say that he’s a credible source who [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 WR Hines Ward recently went on NFL Network’s “Total Access” and discussed the situation regarding QB Ben Roethlisberger.

According to Chris Mortensen, Brett Favre underwent ankle surgery Friday morning in Gulf Breeze, Florida. The procedure was performed by Dr. James Andrews and all signs point to a Brett Favre return. During the past two offseasons, it seemed that Brett Favre would never step foot on an NFL playing surface again. Fool us once, [...]
Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II has surely heard and felt the ire of the fans regarding the behavior QB Ben Roethlisberger. We’d even wager a guess that he’s lost a wink or two of sleep on how to handle the situation. As such, Rooney took it upon himself to send out letters on Steelers [...]
Ever since drafting Matt Leinart with the 10th overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, Arizona fans have been waiting to see their first-round choice develop into a star quarterback. In 2011, they may get their wish. Sources close to the Cardinals organization have informed OTR that quarterback coach Chris Miller has solved a major [...]
Grammy Award winning rap artist Eminem delivered some shout outs to Pittsburgh Steeler Ben Roethlisberger in his new song “Despicable.” The 37-year old, white rapper says of the quarterback, “I’d rather turn this club into a bar room brawl. Get as rowdy as Roethlisberger in a bathroom stall.” Can anyone see the irony here? Eminem [...]
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger has probably been doing a lot of apologizing lately. He’ll probably have more to do in the future. But Roethlisberger said (when we say “said,” we mean a PR person wrote them up and got them approved) today that he won’t appeal his 4-6 game suspension imposed by Roger Goodell. [...]
Jason La Canfora of NFL Network reports that the Oakland Raiders have been in talks with the Pittsburgh Steelers about the services of rapist QB Ben Roethlisberger. “Steelers have been in contact w/ Raiders regarding Big Ben trade.

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. Supposedly, the Steelers were bracing for a possible eight-game suspension, so this is a bit of a relief. But this [...]
