Carter wins AFC devensive honors

Congrats to Tyrone Carter. He's a valid starter in waiting when we need him. He went above and beyond at Invesco Field. I'm glad we have such a neat guy like Carter on our team.

Thought you guys might enjoy this shot of Mason. Haha. Gotta love it Malor.

Troy Polamalu Commercial (Head and Shoulders) & More Hair!

SoCalSteelerFan — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 06:52:31 -0000

Troy Polamalu's new Head & Shoulders commercial. In this post-game interview, Troy answers the burning question on every football fan's mind: What makes your hair look so great?
Maybe there's something in that shampoo that soaks into his brain and makes his football senses heighten. It definitely makes it wave beautifully as he picks one off or kills a receiver coming over the middle.

Here's to Troy's hair and all the highlight reels it shines on!

Troy and Larry on their mops.

How Troy keeps it lookin' good.

Lovin' Troys mane? Me too. But what I really loved was watching him tackle Len Dale White, The entire Dallas Cowboy team, or whatever I want.

Still not pumped up? You will be when you put down that controller, forget all about Madden 10, and jump into the shoes of the Polamalinator. Not even dummies can stop the power of Troy! ...As long as he gets his power-ups.

Look at his hair in the game. Wow.

And if we don't go to Miami

I'm not a pessimistic person. I know damn well that the Pittsburgh Steelers will be team of the decade as they repeat as SB Champions. But it is any given Sunday. And dreams don't always come true. So I'm asking BTSC a strange question that should spark some talk. If the Steelers don't go all the way who would you want to see be crowned? For refinement sakes lets leave out the power houses and talk struggling franchises. No Pats, Giants, Colts, Cowboys (not like you would,) Eagles, Ravens, or any other team that is a projected post season contender.

Think about which teams are under new management (KC), coaches (SF) or any new additions you like. Who would you like to see rise from the rubble of last year and make a run at it all if we (Pitt) don't go? I like the chances of SF myself. Mike Singletary is second to Tomlin in my opinion as motivational head coach. They had a decent draft and seem to be coming together as a team. They have a strong work ethic that comes with having a stud like Singletary run a team. Maybe you like Detroit with Foote trying to make an impact on a struggling defense. Or the Cinderella story of Atlanta if they can keep the dream alive. So let me know who you would want to see. Oh and one more thing. If anyone picks the Browns or Bengals they are here by removed from BTSC.... Just kidding.... ;)

According to this Horse, Ben Rothelisberger raped her. Well I don't believe it for a second. If she's claiming rape we might as well give her what she wants. This Fanshot is for everyone who is as livid at this beastly, buck-toothed, money hungry whore as I am. Feel free to let it all out here with comments. Bash away!

The biggest news to hit the NFL since McNair's death

SoCalSteelerFan — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 04:57:03 -0000

The big news!!

Maybe now Tony can stop thinking about Jessica's tan legs and start thinking about winning football games in clutch moments. I'm going to laugh when the Cowboys make it to the playoffs now that Tony isn't eye humping Jessica on the sideline. That will only make it more apparent that Jerry Jones spent millions of dollars building a monster pro-bowl team in 08' only to have a blonde bombshell distract his star QB and keep them out of the playoffs for the 13th year in a row. Here's to me being wrong and watching the Cowboys watch us kick ass and take names in the 09' playoffs.

Stay away from Pittsburgh bitch.

Oh now I'm just flat out day dreaming...

"The 2009 Pittsburgh Steelers not only repeat their 08' superbowl year but do It in flawless fashion. The first time since Don Shula's Fins went undefeated!"

Can't you just hear it now? A repeat, and a flawless road all the way there? We have the team, the depth, the coach, and now the schedule. Let's break it down week by week:

Week 1 - Steelers vs. Titans- Hey you Tenn teeth towel stompers! Welcome to Heinz Field. Our 2009 opener will be an all out slug fest with the memory of towel mockery still very fresh in many players' minds. This is the hump that just so happens to be our 1st game. This is the hard one. (please don't let Nate score on us!)
Week 2 - Steelers @ Bears-We just won our match against a rival. Now heading to Chicago to meet up with the Bears and their QB. This might still be an uneasy time for Cutler so we can only hope to make plays off his mistakes.
Week 3 - Steelers @ Bengals-Palmer is back with some new offensive weapons. You can give a Pinto a paintjob but it's still a pinto. Nuff said.
Week 4 - Steelers vs. Chargers- Hold on to your hats. We got the best of these fair weather ladies last year so they will be out for bragging rights. I'd love to see Troy snag another immaculate interception.
Week 5 - Steelers @ Lion- Haha.
Week 6 - Steelers vs. Browns-If we want to own Mangini like we've owned past Brown head coaches we'll have to show them once again and stake our territory in the AFC North
Week 7 - Steelers vs. Viking- I just don't believe they have the QB to pick apart our defense.
Week 8 - BYE-Perfect timing, although it would have been nice to play the ratbirds once and then taken a break. We will be fresh and have to be focused when we head up to...
Week 9 - Steelers @ Bronco- The Colorado Mts! The biggest joke this offseason has been Denver. The coach can't get a hold of his team and it looks as though they didn't draft well to their needs. I say we take this one quite easily
Week 10 - Steelers vs. Bengals-Wax on, wax off..
Week 11 - Steelers @ Chief- For some insane reason I think the Chiefs will not only win their division but put up one hell of a fight week 11. They have been snagging the best of the best in the past 3 drafts and now with Haley at the helm that Pitt attitude will come through.
Week 12 - Steelers @ Raven-WWIV. Although we conquered the purple Browns all three times last year, nothing is promised this year. Only that these Ravens are all sorts of pissed at us. They want this division title more than they want new colors. I don't want to even think about it till week 11 is over.
Week 13 - Steelers vs. Raiders- Remember the last time we played the Raiders? They were terrible then and we blew it. Well they're going to be terrible next season and we shouldn't blow it this time.
Week 14 - Steelers @ Brown-Man Genius has been scheming and Quinn has been slinging. Finally they put up a fight but a cool headed Ben leads us on a game winning drive.
Week 15 - Steelers vs. Packers- Not too sure on this one. The Packers are switching to a new 3-4 and might have it working pretty well come this late in the season. Pittsburgh makes the 3-4 look easy thanks to Dad.
Week 16 - Steelers vs. Ravens-Extra ambulances are brought in to the field. Hospitals open up vacancy and the Steelers put an asswhooping on the birds.
Week 17 - Steelers @ Dolphin-Sorry Mr. Brown, we may look dumb but your wildcat hocus pocus is going no where today. We are already talking and looking for the playoffs. Focused and cool as ever we finish it out with a win at Land Shark. Jimmy Buffet throws a concert and the fins dance and drink their sorrows away.

So now that we've attempted to analyze our coming competition, (not very well but an educated guess,) we can toss around the idea of going all they way and never going down.

I've been juggling this around in my head and have had my doubts from time to time. The biggest problem with that is that unlike the 07' pats, we don't cheat. But, what we do, is feed off negativity. How many times have the Steelers been underdogs this new millenium? How many times did they set out to prove those nay-sayers wrong?

Without tough losses we could take our team for granted and that could spell disaster. Our 05' run to Detroit was anything but easy. It was hard fought and being the final seed only motivated us to do what no one had done before.

Last year we were acknowledged as one of the best teams that couldn't ever stay on top. The team barely flew under the radar as the Titans stole the spotlight and the new face of Flacco drew some attention.

This year we will have a different look. A look of champions that every team will want to take down. With it will come huge motivation for any David that can kill our Goliath.

Mike Tomlin doesn't want to talk about repeats. As far as he's concerned he's not coaching the same team from last year. Mike Tomlin could be the deciding factor of us going all the way, going all they way undefeated, or not going anywhere.

It's a long way till the season starts, keep dreaming BTSC...

Are the Redskins Racist (an outsiders perspective)

SoCalSteelerFan — Tue, 19 May 2009 23:36:31 -0000

Ok so I've had enough with the babying of america. It is pure BS that the Redskins are, and have been getting crap for their name. I'm a Steelers fan over at BTSC and can't stand the fact that people want Washington to change their name to something less racist. Indians skin color is red, mines white, and Obama's is black. All this said coming from a color blind football fan. I just read an article by Micheal Silver on the situation and he thinks it's so offensive that people can't sleep at night. As someone who supports a team that singles out the steel industry, (steel doesn't have much to say except 'ting',) I don't know how you all feel about it. What's the latest word on changing the name? Let me know how you feel and come on over to BTSC and chat it up wth us. We love to mingle. Thanks, Socalsteelerfan.

John Madden Retires

SoCalSteelerFan — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 15:19:39 -0000

After 30 years as a NBC broadcaster, John Madden is finally hanging it up. I find it sad but also a good thing that his last game was our Super Bowl. Keep on keepin' on John. Anyways, here's the link. Thanks for making my football memories great ones John. We will all miss your voice. "Boom!" "bam!" Anyone have any memories of John's broadcasts that they want to discuss?

Here we go Steelers Here we go!
