Pittsburgh Steelers WR Mike Wallace is a restricted free agent and has been tendered as such. However, Wallace and his agent are putting it out there that he isn’t going to sign the tender and he isn’t going to report to OTA’s without a long-term contract. So that begs the question: will someone trade for [...]
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 [...]
We mentioned previously that Pittsburgh Steelers LB James Harrison ripped into his QB over his Super Bowl performance, but we apparently missed the real show. He absolutely lays into Commissioner Roger Goodell in the same interview with Men’s Journal. “If that man was on fire and I had to piss to put him out, I [...]
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 [...]
According to TMZ, Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward had a little too much to drink last night before deciding to get behind the wheel of a car. The “Dancing with the Stars” champion was busted down in Georgia early Saturday morning on DUI charges. There really aren’t too many details available right now. Although, we [...]
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 [...]
Mike Jurecki of XTRA 910 out in Arizona looks to have been right all along. He has been saying that the Cardinals will hire Pittsburgh Steelers DB coach Ray Horton to be the next defensive coordinator. And now, Kent Somers from the Arizona Republic has confirmed what Jurecki has been saying. “Source says Horton coming [...]
The NFL should use this weeks weather attention and use it as a warning for future Super Bowls sight selections.
As Super Bowl Sunday gets closer, the possibility of Pittsburgh Steelers center Maurkic Pouncey playing gets slimmer. The rookie Pro Bowler severely sprained and broke his snapping ankle during the first quarter in the AFC Championship game. Currently, he is listed as ’highly doubtful.’ In steps Doug Legursky, who replaced Pouncey for the remainder of the game. His [...]
Pittsburgh Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey is not only dealing with a sprained ankle with ligament damage, but the rookie Pro Bowler is also suffering from a broken ankle. Early reports show Pouncey as “highly doubtful,” “privately skeptical,” and “severely obese” for February sixth’s Super Bowl. Pouncey suffered the injuries during the first quarter of the [...]
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 [...]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the few teams that no one wants to face right now. Their defense is filthy and they will find a way to knock the piss out of you. It’s their thing. However, that could all change if Troy Polamalu is out for any period of time. And a source [...]
I don’t think anyone with half a brain couldn’t reasonably assume that at some point during a two-win season, that Cincinnati Bengals WR Terrell Owens would eventually pop off. That’s probably too many negatives in one sentence. And while he hasn’t gone into full-blown, “I want out of here right now” mode, he is starting [...]
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 [...]
Baltimore Ravens LB Terrell Suggs had a conference call with Pittsburgh reports recently and he had some great quotes. We want to hang out with this guy. T-Sizzle said that the NFL favors the likes of Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, while not caring too much about anyone else. “The league has their favorites,” Suggs [...]
The Buffalo Bills aren’t a particularly good team. But, they aren’t a bunch of dogs either. They fight it out every week and are nobody’s pushover. Still, it was a bit of a surprise when they took the Pittsburgh Steelers to the brink on Sunday, forcing overtime at home. Not only did they take the [...]
Last night in a brutal loss to the New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Jeff Reed shanked what should have been an easy 26-yard chip shot. It ended up not mattering, but it was just the latest example of Reed stinking up the joint. He’s missed seven of 22 attempts this year, and that’s just [...]
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 [...]
This isn’t surprising, but it is nice to get official confirmation. That is, if you consider someone reporting what someone else said – who refuses to put their name to it – is officially confirmation. But, two sources tell ESPN.com‘s James Walker that Colt McCoy will be the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns this [...]
Adam Schefter mentioned this last night on Monday Night Countdown or whatever the hell that six-hour show is leading up to Monday Night Football. But here is another person saying that Colt McCoy is going to start for the Cleveland Browns this Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Chip Brown of OrangeBloods.com tells us that his [...]
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 [...]
It feels like the NFL just started, but after this week 25 percent of the season will be done. In a blink of an eye we’ll be a quarter of the way through. So, before anything else flashes by, let’s get right into this weeks picks. Houston Texans (-3) over Oakland Raiders What a disappointing [...]
Gold Rushers vs Old Indians (-3) What are you buying? The Kansas City Chiefs as a 2-0 team or the San Francisco 49ers as an 0-2 team? I said in the preseason that I thought the Chiefs had a shot to win the AFC West. Over the last eight years, seven teams have gone from [...]
