2021 NFL Preview - AFC North: Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson will duel for the division
All eyes will be on Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns in 2021 after making the postseason for the first time since 2002 last year. A major storyline for the Browns this year will be Mayfield’s contract status. Baker is eligible for an extension of his rookie deal, but the Browns are being caut...

Does Big Ben even have anything left to run it back with?
One last run for the Pittsburgh Steelers and future Hall of Fame quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Ben Roethlisberger has a tell
Tells are a big part of professional sports. The term “tell” — popularized in poker — means something that a person unintentionally does that gives away their intentions. Tells are also popular in baseball. There have been numerous cases of pitchers “tipping pitches” to reveal to hitters what kind o...

Steelers release David DeCastro, and I feel for Najee Harris
I’m a big fan of strong O-lines. A great offensive line can make an average quarterback good. It can make a bad running back look great. Consistent high-level offensive line play almost guarantees a playoff appearance. That’s why I always scratch my head when a team makes a move like the Steelers di...

Cam Heyward thinks 2021 first-round pick Najee Harris has legs of steel
When a team drafts a running back in the first round of the NFL Draft, everyone expects him to carry a heavy workload for his new team (especially when his legs look like tree trunks), but Pittsburgh’s Cam Heyward might be expecting a little bit too much out of his new teammate, Najee Harris. ...

Night one was super fun. I’m so glad that we’re done speculating about where all the top prospects are going to go, and now can begin looking at actual fit and actual expectations. I was sitting at home looking like Joe Rogan in response to George Masvidal’s flying knee. There’s plenty to break down...

Chase Claypool in bar brawl as sideshow antics of Steelers’ wide receivers rolls on
I bet the Pittsburgh Steelers would really enjoy a boring, uneventful offseason from their wide receiver room. Unfortunately, that’s not quite in the cards. TMZ released a video of soon-to-be second-year receiver Chase Claypool involved in a fight outside a bar in Costa Mesa, Calif. on March 13....

Big Ben can help the Steelers by packing up his withered arm and going away
The NFL offseason promises to be almost NBA-like in its drama. There are multiple QBs on the market that could actually make a difference, with Matthew Stafford and Deshaun Watson at the top of the trade market. The Dolphins are willing to dangle Tua Tagovoiloa in order to get Watson, or maybe a hig...

Watching Ben Roethlisberger eat it will always be life-affirming
Whatever you or I may think or know, the Steelers will retire Ben Roethlisberger’s No. 7 one day, and maybe even one day soon. We can’t win. He’ll be revered by perhaps the most slovenly and up-its-own-ass fanbase in American sports, he’ll probably get a TV gig if he wants one (the fact that he can’...
