Steelers' Mike Mitchell Rails At The NFL's Inconsistency On Suspensions For Hits
Steelers safety Mike Mitchell watched how the NFL has responded to three different plays in this past week of football, and he’s not happy about the different punishments that the league has handed down in response or the arcane reasoning behind those punishments....
That Was Bad Football
A grimy football game can be fun, sometimes. Messy, brutal, even a little bit of dirty play can raise the stakes, or at least turn a game into a car wreck that can’t be looked away from. Steelers-Bengals was not fun....
Oh, God, This Was All So Brutal
Tonight’s Steelers-Bengals game was brutal—football that can charitably be described as “old-school” and accurately, necessarily described as “sickening.” The hits came and kept coming, with the injury count ticking upward. The night’s worst injury, though, happened only minutes after kick-off, when...

Ryan Shazier Carted Off After Apparent Severe Injury In Tackle Attempt [Updated]
The Pittsburgh Steelers will finish tonight’s Monday night game against the Bengals without their leading tackler after Ryan Shazier suffered what appears to be a head or neck injury while attempting to make a tackle early in the game....
Antonio Brown Can Do Anything
The Steelers are 9-2, they’ve won six straight, and they’re in line for a playoff bye and maybe even home-field advantage in the AFC. Last night, they survived a scare from the Aaron Rodgers-less Packers, thanks to Chris Boswell’s walk-off 53-yard field goal. But we really need to talk about wide re...
JuJu Smith-Schuster Regrets His Sloppy Post-TD Performance As Choking Victim Jalen Ramsey
The Steelers have put together a strong portfolio of touchdown celebrations this season, but they had a bit of a stumble Sunday against the Colts. After receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster scored in the third quarter, he celebrated by reenacting one of Week 9's NFL fights. Smith-Schuster portrayed Jalen Ra...
JuJu Smith-Schuster Is Having A Ball
It’s been a weird rookie season for Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who last week was unwillingly pulled into a one-sided beef with teammate Martavis Bryant before having his bike stolen. But during last night’s game against the Lions, he had about as much fun as a football player can possibl...

Have You Seen JuJu Smith-Schuster's Bike? [Update]
It’s been a rough week for Steelers rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster. Martavis Bryant is talking shit online about him, he’s landed in the concussion protocol, and now some rapscallion has made off with Smith-Schuster’s prized bicycle. This is bullshit! Give it back!...

Surprise, Vontaze Burfict Kicked A Guy [Update]
Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict and the Steelers renewed acquaintances Sunday, and it took all of 43 seconds of game time for Burfict to do something that may warrant another suspension. Even for Burfict, that’s pretty efficient....
Martavis Bryant Calls Out Teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster On Instagram
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. Bryant caught a single pass for three yards in yesterday’s 29...
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. For the enjoyment of all, Smith-Schuster and Le’Veon Bell put on a choreo...
Alex Smith Calls Out Mike Mitchell For "Extremely Late" And "Flagrant" Hit
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. Mitchell was flagged for roughing the passer, and Smith got in his face immediately a...
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
The Steelers had their doors blown off by the Jaguars on Sunday, with Ben Roethlisberger throwing five picks. Pittsburgh is still 3-2 and tied for first in the AFC North, but Big Ben has been especially cranky lately....
Jaguars Junction: Week Five
Something quite remarkable happened in Pennsylvania yesterday....
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 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. ...
Alejandro Villanueva Didn't Want Any Of This
Steelers offensive lineman and former Army Ranger Alejandro Villanueva, who stood for the national anthem before Sunday’s game even though head coach Mike Tomlin had stated all his players would stay in the locker room to avoid making any sort of statement, said Monday that he deeply regrets how his...
