Expect Ward To Get Hit

I'm not talking about on the field -- I'm talking about in the League office.

Note that I'm in complete agreement with Polamalu on hitting in the NFL, and that the League runs the risk of wimping out.

But after last week's fines -- unwarranted as they were -- Ward could very well be suspended for breaking Keith Rivers' jaw. We know that Ward wasn't out to intentionally injure someone, but the League will argue that the amount of roughness was not necessary -- that Ward could have simply shoved Rivers out of the way.

I confess that I'm a Steelers fan who has never been to football Mecca, Pittsburgh, even though both my favorite team and my wife come from there. I vow to go someday soon! So it was with great interest that I read this recent article in the New York Times entitled, "36 Hours in Pittsburgh." I know it's not direcly Steelers releated, but I figured some of you might dig it. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
