Back when ESPN didn't broadcast every round of the draft, I remember listening to Myron Cope (RIP) back in the '89 draft pound the table over and over again for the Steelers to use one of their late round picks on Pitt-Johnstown Wrestling Champ, Carlton Haselrig (RIP). Hell no I couldn't find the R...

I am typically not a fan of the trade up, especially this year. I hope they don’t. The Steelers have only moved down just once in the first round in over 25 years. With the draft in Pittsburgh, I believe it would be highly unlikely that they trade out of the first round. I would prefer they stay pu...

What? You guys weren't impressed in the playoffs where he had 33 pass attempts for a whopping 146 yards, 0 TDs, a pick six, two fumbles, and we had 13 first downs in 11 total drives, going 2-14 on third down? You fucking haters don't want to run that back? :lol: LOL...I hadn't really seen the stats...

Sad to hear of his death. I was in Memphis, Tenn. one year on a bit of a blues and jazz trip. I noticed a guy outside the Peabody Hotel with a Browner jersey on. I said, "hey, he's a great player!" and then he looked straight on at me. "Yep" he said. It was actually him..lol Cool dude and a great pl...

This kid may not pan out. Jones and Wilson might never make it but I'm going to wait until they get at least a full camp with different coaching and schemes. We've seen it too many times. They made "position flexibility" their main focus to the point if they drafted someone that didn't display it, ...

Seems rather on the light side to play OG. This signing means the Steelers won't double-dip now at OG. It's a good draft for OGs. I may be in the minority, but I’d love our draft to go Ioane at 21 and a WR in the 2nd Plug and play Ioane to be a staple on our line for 7-10 years I don't know the pla...

I much rather have Dean than Pierre….. no second thoughts. Brisker was one of my wants this off season. Glad that came to fruition. Losing Gainwell was anticipated and of all the backs available Dowdle I believe is the best fit. Where does that leave Johnson? LG was already a problematic position e...

A 5th might be all they have to offer. This is a decent LB class but I'm not sure how many are ready to start day 1. That is why there is interest in Queen Of course not ALL prospects from any given position are not DAY 1 starters, but this is no doubt a deep LB draft. Queen's demand (by only the C...

"its outrageous, egregious, preposterous"

lol...perfect!

Great topic, great comments. Ben was just fantastic, once in a generation, and yes terribly underappreciated. And as far as postseason, so was Brad. We Steelers fans were so incredibly fortunate to watch both of those guys win us 6 rings 👍 As Brad always said "I loved the big games" And boy,,did he...

How many modern QBs would get punched in the face by Haloti Ngata the Wild Samoan, have blood gushing out of their nose that's obviously broken to bits and come back in the game and win the fuckin thing. I can't think of many. I can't think of one in Ben's era or now. Mayfield is a tough customer, ...

Wagner had a great story about being the last guy to stop Earl Campbell and how broken he felt after being blasted 5 yards into the endzone as Campbell scored

He was a very wry commentator at times..lol

https://youtu.be/uOgP-UjBEgQ?t=1064 By far my fave "America's Game" episode and Mike features throughout with his great commentary and insights. There was a thread about the current edition of the Steelers not having many likable players. I think winning makes everyone MORE likable,,lol..but the Sup...

11th round pick

4 rings

I am so sad to hear of his death. One of my fave, as my nickname will attest.
RIP to just one of the players who made the Super Steelers who they were..the best!

Looked like Claypool on that 3rd and 6. Travesty receiver didn’t bring his A game to the playoffs and catch that easy pass. Let the ball get into his chest, I think. Really bad effort, IMO True, but don’t leave your feet ala Claypool unless it is necessary. He jumped and got too high and was in bet...

I think Rhamondre Stevenson runs with his eyes closed! :lol: If NE made it 13-7, I think the game might've be over. Denver looked dead. That FG they didnt try is still looming large..i love this type of game where options narrow and the weather plays a huge role..watching with friends and they disa...

Going for it on 4th down is getting to be too prevalent..and then the turnover later trying to do too much. NE back in this one

Maybe we could link all reactions to this marvelous Art the Lessor hire in here and make this the factory of sadness thread. Reaction has been universally negative. I’m sure there is someone outside the McCarthy family (and the Raven, Bengal and Brown fan bases) that is happy, but I haven’t seen it...

NO ONE is taking that contract unless they get a ton of higher draft picks back in the draft. They could restructure it so the guaranteed salaries are converted to SB, since they are good on cap and won't be paying a franchise QB for a long time. In fact, they could make TJ pretty cheap for a conte...

"Can't freeze a psychopath" "We've been dead Indians in this Cowboy movie too many times" "We took them into the deep end and drowned them" I also did like the 5 SB titles and not 5 rushing titles. Perfectly said "Can't freeze a psychopath path" about Boz, is prob the only Tomlin quote I liked. Oth...

Who would take on Watt’s contract, they would be stupid. I think the Steelers are stuck with that, and Metcalf’s. What a waste of money. Yeah, I think the rest of the NFL watches tape..lol.. TJ is done and dusted. I say that as a big fan of his...some players burn out fast but he sure was a nice co...

Possible with all the draft capital to go 4-3 defence instead of the traditional 3-4. It’s time. I’m ready to return to our 4-3 roots. I agree. League has changed an almost unbelievable amount since they switched to the 3-4. I had to look it up, but it was 1982, 44 years ago. Holy cow...that is sob...

I can promise you James Harrison is not one of those players

YES...and I cannot wait for his take. And Ben's...holy crap, this might get good fast..lol

I had to turn Carnell Lake off..lol..I get that they love the guy and he was probably a great HC to deal with on a personal level. All good. But they repeat the same media talking points and ignore the playoff record. "They'll find him hard to replace" "NHALS" "Stability is all" Playoff wins and com...

Wahoo! I've come a long way from defending Tomlin years ago. The Browns playoff game in which the opposing coach wasn't even on the sideline was my breaking point. I feel like Charlie Brown making solid contact with that football!! That was a game that gave me pause...to say the least. And it presa...

Good. PS need a complete overhaul. Roster is a mess. Watt should be traded and some others should be seen in similar vein. I expect a horrendous season next year. Minter from Chargers or Kubiak from Seahawks. I am so energized..like a convict being freed and blinking from the (long absent) sun in h...

I would like to congratulate every single one of the haters out there. The “Fire Tomlin” chant crowd. You got to him and brought change. You ballwashers are worthless fans and not allowed to celebrate with us. I feel like I'm dreaming. It's just like when you realize Santa Claus isn't real, only th...

Herbert and Harbaugh are goddamn fucking awful

Don't forget Greg Roman...WHAT running game? LOL
I fear we may one up their awfulness against that Houston defense...but we probably have a better running game than THAT..one would hope.
