Surprise, Vontaze Burfict Kicked A Guy [Update]

Fresh off a year-long weed suspension, Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant returned to the team this season only to abruptly request a trade, after his role in the offense diminished with the emergence of rookie WR JuJu Smith-Schuster.

The Steelers Upped Their Celebration Game With Some Hide-And-Seek
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been the NFL’s most reliable source of post-touchdown fun since the league relaxed its celebration rules, and after a JuJu Smith-Schuster score today, they showed off another move in their arsenal.

Late in the third quarter of this weekend’s loss to the Steelers, Alex Smith escaped third-down pressure and hit Kareem Hunt for a big gain before being brought down after the play by Steelers safety Mike Mitchell.

A Pirates Fan Talks To Francisco Cabrera, 25 Years After The Worst Game Ever
The idea, or part of it, was to tell Francisco Cabrera what he did to me. I wanted to let him know that the greatest moment of his otherwise anonymous big-league career was such a gut-punch in my life. I wanted to relate to him how funereal things were for me the next day at school, and how long tha...
Martavis Bryant Wants Out Of Pittsburgh
Sure, it took an enormous fluke, but the schizophrenic Steelers topped the previously unbeaten Chiefs and are right back in the thick of the AFC chase. They’re there without much success from No. 2 receiver Martavis Bryant, and his frustrations have reached the point where he’s requested a trade....
Antonio Brown Somehow Scored On This Play
Check out the still image above: Steelers receiver Antonio Brown is at about the Chiefs’ 35-yard line and is flanked by two defenders. Kansas City cornerback Phillip Gaines has just tipped the pass; safety Daniel Sorensen is there to make the tackle. And yet, Brown scored a 51-yard TD. ...
Ben Roethlisberger's Grumpy

Ben Roethlisberger Threw Five Picks Against The Jaguars
The 3-2 Jaguars have already matched their win total from all of last season, after humiliating Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers today. Big Ben had an abysmal game against Jacksonville’s defense as he threw five picks for the first time ever in a 30-9 loss. Here are four of them....
The Blackhawks Obliterated The Penguins
The Penguins might have to call up a third goalie, because I bet both Antti Niemi and Matt Murray suffered severe burns on the backs of their necks from that red light going on so many damn times....
The Legendary Baseball Photo That Almost Didn't Come Out Because The Stadium Was Shaking Too Hard
The baseball soared into the early-morning blackness, heading toward the left-field foul pole. Tracking the flight of the ball he’d just hit, Carlton Fisk began to frantically flap his arms in an effort to will it fair. ...
John Jaso Likely To Retire, Live On Sailboat
John Jaso, the dreaded pirate-looking dude who plays for the Pirates, told reporters yesterday he is probably calling it a career now that the season is over and his contract is up. Better yet: He’s retiring from baseball to sail the seven seas. No piracy, hopefully....
Georges Laraque Calls Out The Penguins' Decision To Visit The White House

Alejandro Villanueva Didn't Want Any Of This

The Steelers Will Skip The National Anthem Today
