Theres various other links all over the internet, but no one big like ESPN or yahoo have reported it yet. Still, it seems legit to me.

Sad to see, especially considering what has been happening to celebrities over the past few weeks. This is getting ridiculous. He may have been a rival but you still hate to see this happen.

Heres an interesting article on what we already knew...

As of right now Harrison is the lead for Denfensive MVP according to the writer. I'm not gonna disagree. It leaves out safeties, tackles, and the such all together but it still makes a good arguement.

Its good to see others agree with us.

Troy TD should have counted

We won the game and the TD was after the fact but apparntly the refs admitted they were wrong. I am not whining because we lost a TD or whatnot. I am whining because there were a lot of questionable calls on us yet San Diego strangely got off the hook (Harrison was being held constantly). I big deal was made about the spread afterwards and many of us conspiracy theorists believe the NFL is targeting the Steelers on penalties and fines................what do you think of this situation now the refs have admitted they were wrong?

Cheer up, there is hope

Obviously, our Team is in a slump. There is no debating that. But c'mon, we are 6-3 not 3-6. We are techinically leading our division (we have the tiebreaker over the Ravens). This slump we are in reminds me of our Super Bowl year. Ben came back perhaps too soon from an injury and played like crap. We got destoryed by the Colts and lost to the Bengals, in large part due to an unhealthy QB. Well, we eventually turned it around and won the Super Bowl. Hold the "doom and gloom" until we are truly in danger of missing the playoffs.

We have the Chargers up next. They are certainly dangerous but they are a mess. They have Norv Turner as their coach, thats reason enough to be excited about this match-up. I like our chances against them. Some of our missing pieces should be returning.

According to NFL.com here's how our injuries look:

Parker should be back, and as amazing as Moore has been for us it will be nice to have that speed back.

Marvel Smith should be back. I was critical of him early in the season but the O-line did look better with him in there I think.

Roethlisberger is going to play so long as he practices more than he did last week according to Tomlin. That means if he isn't close to 100% than Byron will play, and if he is close to 100% than well, he's close to 100%, so yay. It appears Tomlin is starting to crackdown on Ben's injury some. So, this may be good for all you "doom and gloomers" or us positive people.

Woodley should be back as well.

Its not disaster mode yet people. Cheer up, we're not dead. We are tied for the second best record in the AFC. This is a good team who's worst enemy is themselves (themself?). Fix that, which we can and will, and this is a Super Bowl caliber team.

Ocho Cinco Defends Hines

I was just watching NFL Live and they asked CJ about Hines and the recent mess that surrounds him.

Johnson said, "Hines doesn't mean to be cheap. He plays reciever like a defensive player. No one in the league plays as violently as Hines Ward."

Although it can be miscontrued i find it pretty obvious that Johnson is defending Hines and his tough style of play. I'm glad to hear it too. Hate Chad or not but he defends a Steeler here, a rival. I've always like Johnson but this makes me appreciate him even more. Glad he mentioned the thing about Hines playing like a defensive player because its all defensive players that are complaining about Ward. This makes it fairly obvious that they are being hypocrites.

Holmes Busted on Possession

Bumped. Oh by the way, BTSC is the official sponsor of Santonio's ProFootballReference Page. "Tone I'm not mad. I'm disappointed'. I always hated that speech from the parents. Sigh. Keep Your Head Up Santonio! - Bllitz-

Haven't seen this posted too many places but it seems to be true. He could face a possible suspension (up to 4 games).

All I have to say is WHY? Holmes WHY? (at least he was cooperative). Nowadays, pot possession is so common it is no big deal, but still.

I don't really see this warranting a suspension but you never know. Never can tell with Goodell, especially when it is about Steelers players (joking.....kind of).
