“It’s a touchdown … HOWEVER …”

I think I can credit that patch of grey hair on my head to yesterday’s Pittsburgh Steelers-Detroit Lions football game. Let me explain. As a longtime Black and Gold fan, I know that one more win gives the Steelers their 21st consecutive season without a losing record. It also increases their playoff hopes, especially with…

The best way to watch a Pittsburgh Steelers football game

Tonight, the Steelers will take their AFC North-leading 4-1 record to Cincinnati, where they will face the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football. And let me tell you. Anyone who dismissed the Steelers this year should now apologize to me. Right now. Ha. Yeah, I know, I didn’t expect a lineup of veterans from other…

So I have a Kordell Stewart / Chris Boswell / DK Metcalf Terrible Towel here.

Last week, I took a chance and ordered the brand new 50th anniversary Terrible Towel – the calling card of every true Pittsburgh Steelers fan. All I had to do was order it at the very second that 100,000 other Steelers fans tried to hve the same idea as me. The purchase line opened at…

They go on sale at 10:00 a.m. I bet they’re all gone at 10:03 a.m.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are really amazing me in this offseason. Last night they picked up Jonnu Smith and Jalen Ramsey from the Miami Dolphins; they just signed DK Metcalf in the offseason, and somehow they still managed to convince Aaron Rodgers to join up for a one-year stint. Hell, I’m even hearing rumors that they’re…

Hey Bob Labriola … challenge accepted. :D

Anyone who has even a cursory knowledge of my existence knows that the only professional football team I will support with my dying breath are the Pittsburgh Steelers. I don’t bleed red, I bleed black and gold. The national anthem isn’t “The Star Spangled Banner,” it’s “Renegade.” And yes, I have plenty of Terrible Towels…

You’re getting ONE chance, Aaron Rodgers.

The biggest mistake the Pittsburgh Steelers ever did, in my not-so-humble long-time fan opinion, was not preparing for a proper successor to their longtime quarterback. And when they did put someone under center after that quarterback retired, it was a mish-mash of greatness and frustration. I mean, you start off with … And yet somehow,…

Le’Veon Bell is dead to me. (Trigger Warning: CSAM)

Let’s make something very, very clear. Just because you can throw a football, or catch a football, or run with a football, does not mean that you are or are not a person of quality. The Pittsburgh Steelers had a quarterback for twenty years; and although he guided the Steelers to three Super Bowls and…

An event that hasn’t happened in 58 years.

The Pittsburgh Steelers – actually, let me rephrase that – the 2025 Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers – currently sport a 10-3 record and are on their way to a postseason berth. A win against the Philadelphia Eagles today will guarantee the Black and Gold a playoff spot, and will also give plenty of impetus…

Beanie Bishop might be my new favorite Pittsburgh Steeler.

As a longtime Pittsburgh Steelers fan, I’ve grown to appreciate many of their legendary players. From the current lineup, I appreciate both their top running backs, Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren. I’ve cherished the super-sacking combo of T.J. Watt, Cameron Heyward and Alex Highsmith. And Chris Boswell is one of the best field goal kickers…
