A Steelers Fan's Ethical Quandary
It's rare that these parts turn into The Ethicist, but a reader sent an email over the weekend that has us all curious about, you know, the right thing to do and stuff....
Can't Break Her Steelers Habit
This picture, which ran in today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, makes us happy in a way we can't quite put our finger on....
Steelers + Motorcycles = Bad News
Jealous of all the attention devoted to Ben Roethlisberger and his motorcycle, Steelers offensive lineman Barrett Brooks took to the streets last night. He "drove recklessly around a police car," which is never a good idea....
If You Gotta Go, That's A Nice Way To Do It
It has been a while, but remember way back about a year ago, when a huge Steelers fan — who just missed a fun season, by the way — was buried in his recliner surrounded by Steelers garb?...
Ben Roethlisberger, Pure Country
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, fresh off his apparent facial reconstruction that has somehow made him much more normal looking (and vaguely lobotomized) than he did before his motorcycle accident, is going to appear in a country music video. That in itself is no big deal. It's...
Big Ben's Radio Buddy
We think you can probably tell a lot about an athlete by whom he/she chooses for their first post-big-career-moment interview. Which "reporter" shows them enough deference, respect and suck-up-itude to be handed that big scoop?...
Thankfully, Roethlisberger Looking As Dopey As Ever
On Friday, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, sans "Drink Like A Champion" T-shirt, will make his first public appearance since his motorcycle accident a month ago, on "Good Morning America" with Robin Roberts. (Who's having a considerably more successful post-ESPN career than, sa...
The Ballad Of The Bengals Fan
You know how we love a good and dopey fan-written team tribute song — Sweet Shaun Alexander still wins the prize for the worst, if you ask us — and this one's a particularly fun one, "The Ballad Of The Bengals," about how Cincinnati is finally going to take out Pittsburgh this year, or something, we...
Ben Roethlisberger, Elephant Man
Earlier today, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger made his first public appearance — kind of — since his motorcycle accident, showing up at Pittsburgh Steelers headquarters....
When A Stranger Calls
Gotta love Steeler Nation. Not only did they drag out portable grills during a curbside vigil/cookout for Ben Roethlisberger's seven-hour surgery at a Pittsburgh hospital, but now it seems that some of them are threatening the woman who was driving the car involved in the accident. The woman has rec...
Roethlisberger Maelstrom Only Just Beginning, We're Afraid
The reaction to Ben Roethlisberger's motorcycle accident isn't yet approaching Barbaro proportions — he's not a loveable racehorse, after all — but it's up there. Aside from multiple facial fractures — which were repaired successfully, according to surgeons — Roethlisberger seems to have escaped o...
Your Big Ben Morning Roundup
As we revisit the circumstances of Ben Roethlisberger's accident from yesterday, before we talk about Big Ben himself, we feel obliged to mention: Boy, Charlie Batch sure made it to the hospital awfully fast! Certainly it was somewhat unseemly for Batch to have shown up so quickly? Was Roethlisber...
Roethlisberger Injured In Motorcycle Accident
A serious story coming out of Pittsburgh: It appears Super Bowl hero Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was involved in a motorcycle accident about 45 minutes ago (11:30 a.m. ET) in Pittsburgh. Quoth TV station KDKA:...
Joey Porter Manages Not To Kill And Eat The President
The Steelers finally made their visit to the White House yesterday, with President Bush playing host to the Super Bowl champions. Here are some quotes from his speech:...
Santonio Holmes Already Becoming A Fine Replacement For Plaxico Burress
Former Ohio State receiver and Pittsburgh Steelers #1 draft pick Santonio Holmes was arrested in South Beach early Saturday morning, and unfortunately, it was not for masturbating in a public library. He's charged with disorderly conduct, and police say that he disrupted traffic and was verbally a...
We Mean Not To Offend, Joey
Now ... we are going to tread very carefully here ... we don't want any trouble ... we are just reporting facts ......
Joey Porter, Security Risk
As almost everyone surely remembers from last season's Pittsburgh Steelers postseason run, linebacker Joey Porter is insane. Porter's patented crazy land technique is, to make sure he's appropriately pumped up for whatever endeavor he is about to undertake, concoct some insult or slight that his o...
Cut The Black Wire
Last night, the Pittsburgh Steelers all gathered at a Loews theater in West Homestead, Penn., to watch on the big screen the DVD of their championship season. Apparently, an Eagles fan found out about it; the whole thing was cancelled after a phoned-in bomb scare....
Man, Tommy Maddox Has Really Let Himself Go
You know, we understand that beards are the big thing in the NFL playoffs right now, but honestly, we had no idea this guy was a starting quarterback in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday. (He's from the World Beard Championships, in case you were wondering.)...
"Football! Go Steelers! Weeee!"
Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer has been having a grand time this week showing pictures of borderline insane sports fans and the lengths they will go to support their team; our personal favorites are the guy with all the Steelers tattoos and the Seahawks fan who calls himself "Cannonball."...
