Steelers Keeping Busy In The Offseason
This man is Richard Seigler, and he's a third string linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He played one game last year, and had one tackle. As a practice squad player two years ago, he earned a Super Bowl ring. He played for Oregon State in college and was a fourth-round draft pick....
Take Big Ben's Safest Vehicle Off His Hands
It's not Manny Ramirez's grill, but if you have an urge to own a vehicle that has, you know, two wheels, you can now bid on Ben Roethlisberger's truck. (Link via Mondesi's House.)...
This Handsome Steelworker Needs A Name
Another slightly old bit of news that I wanted to touch on was the Steelers unveiling of a brand new mascot. He's part of the Steelers 75th anniversary celebration, along with some new throwback uniforms....

Buy Bill Cowher's Junk!
One of the many reasons it's good to be a famous sports figure: When you want to clear out your house of a bunch of useless, outdated junk, you can slap a "As Owned By ..." sticker on it, say it's for charity and look like a great guy, rather than just tossing everything out to the street corner and...
Joey Porter Might Take This As Somewhat Of A Lack Of Respect
One of the funniest pieces by one of the funniest writers we know: The Mighty MJD's great Letter From Joey Porter's Pit Bull, in which the canine shows the same distaste for perceived disrespect as his notoriously batshit insane owner. Porter is amazing to watch because everything infuriates him; if...
Bill Cowher Surprisingly Cool When You Accost Him On The Beach With A Video Camera
Via Sports By Brooks, here's a video apparently shot in February 2000 from an incredibly rude (but amusingly inquisitive) fan who ran into Bill Cowher and his wife on an undisclosed tropical locale....
Steelers Going With Tomlin
The Pittsburgh Post Gazette is reporting that the Steelers have chosen Mike Tomlin to be their next head coach. The Steelers, according to the report, told Tomlin he was their choice, are negotiating with him right now, and have informed Russ Grimm of their decision, too....
Someone Is Going To Coach The Steelers
But it might not be Mike Tomlin. I linked to an article yesterday that reported that Tomlin had the job, then Tomlin denied that that was true... and then ESPN's Chris Mortensen said that it was true, and so did everyone else... and last night, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review said the job belongs to R...
Mike Tomlin To Replace The Beloved Chin
Mike Tomlin, former defensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings, has been hired as the new head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Rooney family was said to really admire Tomlin's defensive philosophies, his organizational skills, his refreshing ability not to bathe every single person he talk...
Oh, To Be A Cop Outside A Steelers Game
As many of you likely already know, the great city of Pittsburgh has a mayor who is 26 years old, Luke Ravenstahl. He's in the midst of a campaign right now — he took over the job when former mayor Bob O'Connor died — and that means when you were once handcuffed outside Heinz Field for an altercatio...
The Sad Thing? That's Apple Juice
For those of you whose lives are just not completely without a drunken photo of Kyle Orton, Rex Grossman or Ben Roethlisberger ... hey, it's your lucky day! This one's from Mondesi's House, and features Big Ben making the exact face you would expect someone to make when they are sitting on a couch n...
Big Ben's Friends In Idiotic Places
Want to know why Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had such an awful 2006? We have a theory: He has become friends with Donald freaking Trump....
Can You Have Steeltown Without Cowher?
The platitudes people hand out when a prominent figure retires or dies can become so banal and repetitive that one ultimately finds oneself almost disliking the departed as a backlash; see Slate's Jack Shafer's look at how journalists covered Gerald Ford's death, as one example. But we have to say: ...
Spit Shield Purchases Skyrocketing In North Carolina
Steelers head coach Bill Cowher, beloved in many places that are not Seattle, may have given some clues yesterday about his plans for the future. He didn't announce anything, but said he'd have something to say about it next week. If he was going to stay, though, why wait to say it?...
Joey Porter Didn't Mean To Offend You; He Just Meant To Offend The Fag
Just because his team has been a disaster this year doesn't mean that Steelers linebacker/insano Joey Porter can't still stir some shit up. Yesterday, Porter apologized for calling Kellen Winslow a "fag."...
Big Ben Keeps Teaching The Kids
It was only a matter of time: Ben Roethlisberger's motorcycle mishaps are inspiring minor league promotions....
It's Sleepy Football Night In America
We try to recap each weeknight game the morning after around here, because weekday games are rare and often are the talk of the "water cooler" around "the office" with one's "co-workers." Unfortunately, last night's Steelers-Browns tilt was, well, a completely shellacking that was over early and in ...
