Steelers may rescind offer 2008-03-03 12:41:44 I just heard on ESPN radio that the Steelers
may rescind Max Starks’ transition tag. They don’t have the space under the cap, apparently. They were nearly $20million under the cap going into this off-season. Roethlisberger’s contract will eat up about half of that, so if they really want to give Starks $7million they [...]
Benjamins 2008-03-03 10:47:26 Ben Roethlisberger has agreed to an 8 year $102million contract with the Steelers, with a reported $36million guaranteed.
Taking into account his barbecue sauce and beef jerky sales, Ben should now be able to live in relative comfort for the rest of his life, barring Methamphetamine addiction or paralysis.
On the Jim Rome show back in January, [...] Read more:Benjamins
Myron Cope 2008-02-28 12:12:06 Myron is as much a part of Steelers lore as any player or coach. He provided the soundtrack to the dynasty of the 70’s that still resonates in Pittsburgh.
I remember my mom telling me the story of the terrible towel’s inception. At the time the Houston Oilers passed out tiny white swaths of cloth, [...]
Rooneys High On Grass 2008-02-23 13:38:06 The North Side turf war is over. The Steelers will not switch to artificial turf at any time in the foreseeable future.
The natural v. artificial debate that always surfaces the Sunday after the WPIAL championship games are played at Heinz Field, intensified when on a rainy Monday Night the 1-15 Miami Dolphins gave the Steelers [...]
Terry Bradshaw 2008-02-16 20:39:33 From time to time I will write about the Pittsburgh Steelers players of the past. As a Steeler fan I think it is important that we know the history of our team and the former players. The Steelers have had a ton of great players and eventually we will discuss all of them.

An incredibly bland Super Bowl Preview 2008-02-03 13:52:54 Super Bowl XLII
Patriots vs. Giants, kickoff at 6:18 and 34 seconds
The Giants nearly upset the Patriots in the regular season finale, when New England overcame a 12 point deficit en route to a three point victory in the Meadowlands.
In general, I’m a fan of the underdog. The Giants come into tonight’s game getting 12.5 points [...] Read more:Super

Super Blog Preview, plus inside info on the Steelers search for an offensive lineman 2008-02-01 00:21:53 Before I post my Steelermaniacs Swan Song blog,
a 3,000+ word piece on the importance of sports [I’m going for the record.-leave it to a fiction writing major to write 8 pages on the insignificance of sports.] which I’m actually taking some time to revise, I would like to provide my loyal readers with some legitimate [...] Read more:Steelers

A Somewhat “Steelers-centric” look at the Super Bowl. 2008-01-29 18:00:46 I wrote the bulk of this the day after the conference championships.
Only two teams remain; the New England Patriots and New York Giants.
I don’t believe I have to watch Eli Manning play in the Super
Bowl, good for him though I’m surprised he’s played so well in the post-season.
Given my “If the NFL used the [...] Read more:Steelers
You thought your girlfriend was crazy 2008-01-29 15:55:26 I’m a bit late on this bit of news as well, but Ced Wilson was recently involved in a domestic dispute with his girlfriend.
I cut and pasted this info from wpxi.com, it was written on Jan 22nd.
According to a protection-from-abuse court order Wilson obtained against Paulat, the mother of his 1-year-old daughter, Anya, he left [...] Read more:thought
Say it ain’t so James 2008-03-10 14:05:41 Harrison vs. Porter: An unfortunate comparison of felonies.
I want to make sure I post this before the Mark Madden show, as I’m sure he will bring up some of these points and I don’t want to be convicted of plagiarism after the fact.
Joey Porters last off-season fracas with Bengals’ guard Levi Jones seems pretty insignificant [...] Read more:James
Steelers sign a center 2008-03-19 14:43:38 The Pittsburgh Steelers
signed free agent center Justin Hartwig to a two-year, $4million contract.
The 29 year old free agent’s name is eerily similar to Former All-Pro Steelers’ center, Jeff Hartings, but his resume is similar to incumbent center Sean Mahan.
Hartwig can play center and guard, he was was released by the Panthers, for what appear [...]
Rooney does not condone domestic violence from 4th string WR’s 2008-03-20 11:54:30 Upon hearing of Cedrick Wilson’s most recent domestic dispute, I assumed Wilson would be cut and Harrison would stay on the team. I had a slightly more cynical logic (Wilson is a spare-parts WR and Harrison is a Pro Bowler), than that professed by Dan Rooney
in today’s Post Gazette.

Cedrick Wilson hits women too 2008-03-20 00:50:55 Now Cedrick Wilson
has allegedly assaulted a woman.
Here is an ESPN.com link describing the alleged assault. The headline reads, “Steelers receiver arrested after allegedly ‘punching girlfriend in the face’ ”
Jesus Christ.
There will be an effort to sweep this under the Rooney’s black and gold rug, along with James Harrison’s assault on his girlfriend.
There has [...]
