Who knew it could be so cold in Arizona... 12 Men On The Field - Every Monday, Ed The Sports Fan brings you the 12 biggest names over the past week so that you can be thoroughly entertained like when Eagles fans cry because they thought they actually had a chance to overcome... 1.

Steelers Today - A Pittsburgh Steelers blog —
Ryan Clark put a hard hit on Ravens’ running back Willis McGahee during yesterday’s AFC Championship game. The hit left both players lying on the field for an extended period of time. McGahee had to ultimately be carted off on a stretcher. Clark left the field under his own power, but he was clearly wobbly.
Before being taken to the hospital, McGahee had movement in his limbs, and he was talking. He said that he had significant pain in his neck. Both the Ravens and the Steelers joined in praying for the downed players.

Willis McGahee’s OK, but What Was Up with the Music?
The Big Lead —
Willis McGahee: The last time McGahee was injured in a big game, his knee was mangled in the National Championship. Sunday he got knocked out after Ryan Clark’s helmet-to-helmet hit late in the game (thankfully, both players are OK). We’re unsure of normal stadium music protocol for a situation like McGahee’s - he’s motionless, players are kneeling all around him, medical personnel all over the field - but what was up with the PA blaring Smooth by Robb Thomas?

Yesterday, as you well know, the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Baltimore Ravens in a stout contest of the footballing variety. Just before that, the Arizona Cardinals defeated the Philadelphia NFC Championshipgles to advance to the Super Bowl. But by far the most frightening, awe-inducing moment of the day came in the latter game, when Willis McGahee attempted to catch a pass over the middle and was utterly destroyed — mind, body, and soul — by Steelers’ DB Ryan Clark.
In all, it was a clean hit, the sort of tackle the tackler dreams of making, even if he is knocked out cold, as ...

While both of yesterday's conference championships were great games -- with the Cardinals/Eagles taking the crown for most exciting -- the one I enjoyed most was Steelers/Ravens. Why? Because of hits like this.
And, of course, this.
Man, no matter where Willis McGahee goes, he's always destined to be a YouTube legend.

While we know that for the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers that Sunday was a great day and both teams were celebrating deep into the night, the feelings had to be the exact opposite for members of the Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens. Of course, how they responded to their heartbreak, we can’t be sure. For the Ravens, a lot of their postgame thoughts were probably devoted to Willis McGahee and whether or not he was still alive ...

AwfulAnnouncing —
If you were watching the end of the Ravens-Steelers game, you saw a scary moment as Willis McGahee lay on the turf motionless following a hit from the Steelers' Ryan Clark. The hit itself was questionable, because Clark's hit was helmet on helmet, but certainly not intentional. Both teams came out on the field in a moment that showed mutual respect for each other, and McGahee, as the running back waited for the cart to take him off the field. Both teams were very classy and humble in the minutes following the hit, and Steelers' fans were even picked up on CBS' mics wishing him well as he left the stadium. Everyone handled the ...

Now that we know Willis McGahee’s brain is still in one piece, we can shift our focus to Ryan Clark, the Steelers safety who leveled the running back, causing whiplash typically reserved for test dummies. Clark, who was slow to get up himself after the hit, wasn’t penalized on the play, although the replay shows definitively that it was a helmet-to-helmet blow: ...

Wow You Guys Suck: The Ravens Offense, The Ravens mustered under 200 yards of offense. They scored twice the entire game. One came via a pass interference in the end zone and the other came via a long ass punt return. The rest of the game they were entirely useless. Runners Up: Whoever was covering Larry Fitzgerald, the Iggles ability to stuff a 4th and 1. This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Darren Stone, Your team has all the momentum in the world. They are getting the ball at the 40 with a chance to take the lead. What better way to throw it all away, than to get a meaningless roughness penalty on the ...
The UFC should take their money and run from New York

Again, the battle to legalize MMA in New York is making headlines, and again, the man who is leading the charge against the sport sounds like an uneducated boob. What they don't tell you is what is allowed. Kicking to the head. Kneeing them. Sitting on top of them and repeatedly punching them in the head and face. They don't tell you those things. That's Assemblyman Bob Reilly, the member of the committee who is constantly railing against the violence of MMA -- as if it's the only violent sport on the planet -- this time, spewing his ignorance to Newsday. Here, he is claiming that ground and pound is a big secret. ...
Ryan Clark: Fighting The Good Fight
Pittsburgh Steelers —
Ryan Terry Clark is yet another undrafted free agent pickup that is starting on one of the most storied defenses in the NFL. The former LSU Tiger was an undrafted rookie in 2002 when the New York Giants signed him to play mostly special teams. After the bye week he was waived and signed to the Giants practice squad. The very next year, he came back with fire in his soul, and appeared in every game for the Giants that season, starting four of them. In 2004 he got a change of scenery, playing now for the Washington Redskins . Due to injuries, he started 11 games that year, and was fourth on the team in tackles with 91. Two years later, he’d find ...
