At my daughter's school, they send out mid-semester report cards, to let the parents know how their child is doing. Here is the Pittsburgh Steelers report card for the first half of the 2009 season. Quarter back - A+ Ben Roethlisberger is on pace for the best stistical season ever by a Steelers QB. That is right Bradshaw, time to step to the side. Roethlisberger has already passed Bradshaw with having the ...

I read an article today from one of my favorite writers, TJ Jenkins (by the way, GLAD your back TJ), talking about Larry Johnson wanting to play for the Steelers. Read his before you read this.áGo ahead. It seems to me that there are a lot of Steelers fans that don't think this is a good idea. As a matter of fact, Timothy Kessler said it so eloquentlyù The first thing that ...

Steeler Nation, don't get me wrong, but I find Chad Ochocinco absolutely hilarious!áKnown for his theatrics as much as for his play on the field any more, Ochocinco is at it again. Last week, Ocho sent the Baltimore Ravens deodorant, because they "would work up a sweat trying to cover him". Turns out, he was right!á Ocho didn't exactly light up the Ravens, catching five passes for 66 yards. This week, via ...

The Browns have finally taken the first step back to respectability, and fired GM, George Kokinis. Sorry about the picture of Mangini, there are none of Kokinis. The Browns have stated that, "Cleveland Browns general manager George Kokinis is no longer actively involved with the organization..." Though all of theámoves that have been made so far have been credited to Mangini, including bringing over most of the reserve players heácoached with the ...

Another week, another Bengals extension to sell all non-premium tickets to avoid a local black out . It was less than three weeks ago that I wrote an article bashing Bengals fans because they had not sold out their home game against the Houston Texans. Not selling out the non-premium seats means that the folks at home will not be able to watch the game on TV. No, not even if ...

I read an article here on Bleacher this morning, thatáI have to take issue with. Nick DeWitt is a writer that I respect for his writings, but on this story, I think he is dead wrong. Mr. Dewitt thinks that the Steelers need to play the way the Baltimore Ravens did against the Denver Broncos next Monday Night in order to be successful. I think the Steelers need to play like ...

I know the NFL season is 17 weeks long, so the middle of the season is half way through the eighth game, right? Here is how I had the teams rated in my preseason rankings along with their predicted records, and where they are now. The grade I am giving is not for the team, but for my predictions. á Pittsburgh Steelers , 13-3 / 5-2 The Steelers were my top seeded AFC Team. ...

When the Tennessee Titans were eliminated from the playoffs last year, Jeff Fisher stated that his top priority in the offseason was to keep Kerry Collins as his starting quarterback. Collins was promised that he would keep his starting job if he were to return to the Titans. Even with former first round pick Vince Young trying to work his way back into favor of the team, Fisher stuck with Collins. The ...

Prior to their week eight matchup against the Denver Broncos, the Baltimore Ravens were riding a three-game losing streak. That sent them from undefeated and alone in first place in the AFC North to third with only the lowly Browns trailing. With the Steelers and Bengals having the week off, the Ravens stood at 1.5 games back of both. A loss to the Broncos would have put the Ravens two games back ...

I woke up this morning like every other Sunday morning. I came down stairs, had breakfast, grabbed the newspaper (sports page and comics; they are all that matter), and headed down to the man cave to watch the NFL pregame. I signed in to my Bleacher Fantasy Football league, and reality set in. The Steelers are not playing today. I knew the Steelers are on their bye week. Every team needs one, ...
