Look, I get it. My beloved Pittsburgh Steelers coughed up a 45-42 playoff loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. They lost to Blake freakin’ Bortles and Leonard freakin’ Fournette. They mismanaged the last minute of clock time, and they tried an onside kick that hadn’t been successful for the Black and Gold in nearly ten years.…

Why, James Harrison? WHY? WHY?!?
My loyalty to the Pittsburgh Steelers is unquestioned. I don’t even participate in fantasy football leagues, because I can NOT, in my heart, ever draft a player from the Jets, the Browns, the Ravens, the Bengals, the Cowboys, the Giants, the Bills, the Packers, and certainly not from the New England Patriots. I can not…

Yeah, I know, I know. I counted my chickens before they were hatched. I watched the Atlanta Falcons slap the New England Patriots around for three quarters of football. I watched Matt Ryan and Julio Jones and the rest of the team treat Tom Brady like he was Marcia Brady catching a football. #owmynose And…

I’ve blogged about this topic before. During the regular season, Chris Boswell scored nearly all the points in a Pittsburgh Steelers victory over Cincinnati with his right foot.

It’s a good day to be a Pittsburgh Steelers football fan. Because, let’s face it. When the Steelers lost that 30-15 game earlier this year to the Miami Dolphins, where Jay Ajayi ran all over the Black and Gold like they were the Yellow Brick Road and he was Dorothy, I’m sure that every Steeler…

Okay, I exaggerate. The kicker for the Pittsburgh Steeelers did not score every single point in their statement victory over the Cincinnati Bengals yesterday. And he didn’t score every point in a game that extended the Bengals’ streak of not winning a playoff game in nearly a decade – by eliminating the Bungles from the…

So last night, I watched the Pittsburgh Steelers completely dismantle the Washington Redskins 38-16. After that exciting game was a veritable snoozefest match, as the San Francisco 49ers pulverized the Los Angeles Rams 28-0. About the only exciting thing about that late-night matchup occurred during the fourth quarter, with the 49ers up 21-0, a red-shirted…

Last year, the New York Giants’ defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul blew up his hand in a fireworks accident. The hand was severely damaged, and one of his fingers was amputated. That being said, coverage of the fireworks accident and whether Pierre-Paul would suffer any significant career-threatening or career-ending damage to his hand was the talk…

Let’s get a few things out of the way right now. I am a devoted and unashamed fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, which by extension means that I automatically have a distaste for any of the following opponents – the Cleveland Browns, the Baltimore Ravens, the New York Jets, the Dallas Cowboys, the Green Bay…
