The Pittsburgh Steelers locked up a First Round Bye in the upcoming playoffs and by knocking off the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore they clinched the 2008 Central Division Championship. Ah, life is sweet! The shirts and hats pictured below are featured at The Steelers Outlet at Steel City Shops. Pick up your piece of Steelers [...]
The NFL announced this year's list of free Hawaiian vacation recipients, and there are only three Steelers among them: LB James Harrison and S Troy Polamalu are starters, joined by reserve LB James Farrior.Several Steeler teammates will probably be asked when their NFL brethren beg out of the game in vintage Tom Brady fashion, so that number will likely increase. There weren't many surprises omiss
Dave Dameshek and I were in rare form for our weekly chat on Friday. We went back and forth on the Willie Parker-Mike Tomlin debate, the pros and cons of a power running game, and the Steelers' chances of getting a win in Baltimore on Sunday. We also discussed the Cowboy game and how I correctly predicted a seven-point Steeler victory (hold your applause, please). We wrapped up with some Pens talk

What can you say about James Harrison? Cut buy the Steelers twice, cut by the Baltimore Ravens and now he is tied for the Steelers all-time single season sack record with Mike Merriweather with 15 and could easily have 20+ if he wasn’t held on just about every play. He leads the NFL [...]
The Steelers (9-3) trailed the New England Patriots (7-5) 10-3 near the halfway mark of the second quarter, then proceeded to score 30 unanswered points on the strength of a solid performance by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, improved offensive line play which allowed the Steelers to rush for over 160 yards, and one of the most [...]
The Patriots had a BIG game today and didn’t come through. Something we here in NE are not use to. But the Steelers played a great game. Matt Casel is no Tom Brady and Matt Light is overrated. How does a Pro Bowl Offensive lineman get beat so many times? I’ll tell you how, he’s [...]
The Patriots have been the thorn in the Steelers’ side for a decade, winning five of the last six meetings, including two AFC Championship games, and last season’s early December match up in New England. The last time the Steelers defeated the Pats was during the bittersweet 15-1 season of 2004.

The Steelers finally signed a veteran D-back, and it wasn't DeAngelo Hall or Ty Law. It's Fernando Bryant, a 10-year veteran who was a first round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 1999. His roster spot was created by the release of LB Donovan Woods, who was signed on Saturday to take RB Najeh Davenport's place on the roster. And so goes As the 53rd Roster Spot Turns.Bryant, who played at the Un

It's hard to believe that a playoff game could take place where Kelly Holcomb and Tommy Maddox were the starting quarterbacks, let alone a thrilling game that came down to the last seconds.

The AFC North leading Steelers notched arguably their most impressive victory last week against the Redskins to improve to 6-2.

This week's podcast with Dave Dameshek was action-packed, as usual. We discussed a range of topics, including Halloween candy (I'm partial to those mini-Snickers and Butterfingers), JoePa and Penn State's shot at a national title, the enigma that is Dave Wannstache, Steelers-Redskins, Steelers-Giants, and wrapping up with some Pens talk, specifically on one Jordan Staal, who is causing much discus
Mewelde Moore, filling in for an injured Willie Parker, rushed for 120 yards and scored three touchdowns, in his second start for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers (5-1) let the Bengals (0-7) hang around for a while before pulling away with the help of a 21-point fourth quarter.
Pittsburgh marched the length [...]
Last week I wrote that I had an uneasy feeling about the Bengals game. I attributed it to heartburn and predicted a 34-10 Steelers win. Although I came close to hitting the mark, I must admit that going into the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game, the uneasy feeling returned, and it was definitely NOT heartburn.

The Steelers had more questions than the GRE’s going into their week five game at Jacksonville. The mediocre-to-begin-with O-line had suffered the loss of starting right guard Kendall Simmons, the defensive line was devoid of two starters, and Mewelde Moore was pressed into starting duty in a game that showcased the return of [...]

Week Two might have been the most exciting week of games the NFL has seen in a long, long time. We had huge comebacks, high-scoring games, a game winning two-point conversion, and perhaps the best offensive football game I’ve seen in years. There aren’t enough words to describe last week. It was tremendous. Riveting. I was glued to my TV. When it ended, I had three separate discussions with th

Filling their temporary void of players named Sean after the trade of Sean Mahan, the Steelers acted swiftly, signing veteran tight end Sean McHugh today.

He will be the Steelers' third tight end behind Heath Miller and Matt Spae

That was the theme again last night as the Steelers stole a 19-16 victory from the clutches of the Carolina Panthers in front of 50,485 at Heinz Field.

RYAN MUNDYSAFETY - WEST VIRGINIAHeight: 6-1 Weight: 205 40-Time: 4.55College Coach: Lloyd Carr, Rich RodriguezThe Steelers closed their 2008 draft by selecting someone you've probably heard of, safety Ryan Mundy of Woodland Hills, Michigan, and West Virginia. A highly-touted player out of the WPIAL, Mundy was scooped up by Lloyd Carr in 2003 but used a transfer rule to join the utopia of West Virginia Mountaineer football for the 2007 season, further fueling the budding West Virginia-Michigan rivalry. He will battle for a safety spot with the Steelers.Notes on Mundy:--Finished his collegiate career in the 2007 season with 45 tackles, three interceptions, and two fumble recoveries--Played in 11 games for Michigan as a true freshman in 2003--Started 12 games as a Wolverine sophomore in 2004
