Backup nose tackle Chirs Hoke, signed a new,
four-year contract late last week. The deal will keep
him in a Steelers uniform through 2010. The four-year agreement will pay Hoke a total of $6 million, with $1.5 million paid upfront. At first I thought ...

Some may disagree with me, but I think
Mike Shanahan has been a very good coach for
a very long time in Denver. I mentioned him in a post this summer about the 5 best teams of the past decade : In all honesty, the Broncos might deserve to be ahead of ...

Another quick post before resuming full Steelers-Dolphins coverage
tomorrow. Next week's home game against the Cincinnati Bengals
has been bumped to NBC's Football Night in America. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised by the decision. The Jaguars at the ...

Bryant McFadden, the team's 2nd round draft choice
in 2005, is entering the final year of his
rookie contract. He's hired super-agent Drew Rosenhaus to help him re-sign a new (lucrative) deal. I say 'hold the phone' because a decision like this, no ...

Whis is gone. ESPN is reporting that the
Arizona Cardinals have hired Ken Whisenhunt to be their
new head coach . Whisenhunt, who's been Pittsburgh's offensive coordinator since 2004, signed a five year deal to take over in Phoenix. Tough to see Whis...

Okay, so it's Tomlin . The original report
was correct. From what I can gather, the Rooneys
didn't want the hiring news to make it to press until Monday, which was why we saw the denials coming from the Steeler front office all weekend. Sad news for...

I suppose it's hard to label your #1
draft pick who finished the year with fewer than
50 receptions a 'surprise', but I think if you analyze Holmes' first year as a pro-dating all the way back to training camp-you can argue that he had a pleasantly...

A month or so ago former defensive back
Andre Watters was so depressed that he committed sucide.
A few weeks ago former Patriots LB Ted Johnson feared he may be heading down a similar path. Now it's recently retired NYG RB Tiki Barber who is speaking...

The one theme that kept resurfacing in my
mind while wondering how the Steelers' 2007 schedule fall
was: I sure hope we get off to a good start. I thought our poor start caused us, and Big Ben in particular, to press a bit last year. We too often got ...

A while back, I started a new series
of discussions by asking whether Zach Thomas was a
Hall of Famer. The post garnered little resposne, so let me continue the series by asking a question our community might have more input on: does Bill Cowher ...

My goodness - everywhere you turn these days,
it's another Faneca story popping up. Dan Rooney is
worried for Faneca's health (sort of), the business of escalating NFL contracts is the topic of the week, and Faneca's agent, Rick Smith, is trying to ...

So I thought my first news story would
be a slightly controversial one. I recently heard that
the Steelers have began preliminary talks with Big Ben about a contract extension. Initially I thought that they were doing a great job of ...

First off a story about the mythical (well
maybe not quite) Pittsburgh no-huddle offense from Ed Bouchette
at the Post-Gazette. We saw glimpses of the no huddle last preseason, interestingly enough against Mike Tomlin's Vikings defense, but then we ...

After seeing the great sport of football get
dragged through the mud for most of the offseason
with countless arrests, it made me start to wonder: do we as fans really care? Here's a quick list I put together of noteable arrests or suspicions ...

Ryan McBean became the third member of our
2007 draft class to sign a contract . McBean,
the 4th round selection who I wrote might be better than advertised in this short piece , agreed to a 3-year deal, the terms of which were not immediately ...

Lots of us have talked about how TE
Heath Miller was under-utilized last year. For whatever reason,
he just didn't have his number dialed nearly as often as we thought it would be given his very impressive rookie season in 2005. Miller's receptions, ...
