ShitBird (Suckus Cockus Footballus) A football game is 60 minutes long. It is not 58:45. I suggest that someone remind Mike Tomlin of this fact so he can instruct himself, his staff, and team accordingly.What we saw yesterday was a team so elated to have stopped the Shitbirds 4 times inside their 10 yard line that they forgot to play the rest of the game. The offense committed two penalties and

Among a whole bunch of guys who were outstanding, I'm picking Charlie Batch as my feature player this week.

Where In The World is Troy Polamalu? Were is Troy? That has to be the question Vince Young was asking himself all day. Troy was where Troy wanted to be. That is, EVERWHERE! In the backfield sacking the QB. In the end zone intercepting passes. Rushing the passer. Dropping into coverage. In the backfield making tackles and disrupting plays. All the above. I'm pretty sure LeBeau was not

Fantasy football sucks, because it is not football, it is a fantasy. Like a wet dream. Like jacking off to Pamela Anderson in US magazine. It ain't real.Fantasy football is absolutely huge in this country these days. And it has completely distorted and undermined our understanding of the game of football. It is a game of numbers and statistics. To which I retort an old saying, "Figures

Mendenhall Saves The Day Stillers looked just like I thought they'd look and got exactly the result I thought they'd get in another hard fought OT victory over the Dirty Birds of Atlanta. Arians, much to the surprise of many including myself, put together a nice gameplan and called a decent game for Dennis Dixon. DD was pretty shaky at times but also had his moments.

Growing up in Western Pennsylvania, I've always called all soft drinks "pop." When I was little we used to visit my aunts who lived in Cleveland and Toledo and the people there called it "pop" too.But then I moved East. First to a farm on the Mason-Dixon line in Franklin County, PA to take a job in Hagerstown, MD. Then later I moved to my present home in a rural area outside Baltimore. And

Even though the ferocious 100 degree heat has gone into remission, I for one cannot wait for Summer to go away. I hate Summer. When it's blistering hot you can't do anything outside. So it's the same as in Winter... only worse. In Winter when it's cold you can bundle up with enough clothes to finally stay warm. In Summer when it's hot, there a finite amount of clothes you can take off to be

There's been a ton of debate recently about potentially having moss at ground zero. Some folks are up in arms about it and some say that moss at ground zero proves how tolerant we can be. I thought it was time for Steel City Slant to weigh in on this subject.I am firmly in the corner of Roberto "No Moss" Duran. I try to be an equal opportunist with horticulture but eff me moss is annoying. My

So if you remember from last year, I coach my daughter's volleyball team. I was asked by our Athletic Director to send out an email to get a hard 'Yes' or 'No' for each player about asthma. Apparently one of the other sports had an incident and a new rule was put in place that we needed to make parents aware of. Our practice schedule is confusing because so many teams need gym time.

I left work around 4 today and this is what my car was resistering as the outdoor temperature. It's the highest I've seen that fature of my car report since owning it which is about 2 years now. Did I use the AC? No, which is weird as I'm an AC whore keeping it on at the house between Easter and Halloween...lol. I opened the windows and the sunroof and kicked some Jay-Z most of the way home.

A friend and I drove to Quakertown Farmer's Market today in search of music. There are usually a lot of cheap CDs floating around there and I had a hankering for some "new to me" stuff that I can rip and then resell to secondspin.com.

I chanced to receive this photo from relatives sympathetic to my loss of family photographs so I wanted to take a little walk down "I Can't Remember Lane" too.First thing you'll notice is these are the real early years.

I'm getting kind of spoiled with the seats I've been getting for concerts lately and a lot of it has to do with going to much smaller venues. Last night Mrs. Fan and I saw Cyndi Lauper from the 5th row at The Keswick Theater which is only a short 25 minute drive from my house.This started out being all about Mrs. Fan as I gave her the tickets months ago for our anniversary.

Mrs. Dog just officially became smarter than me. I know that's going to be hard for many to believe. But it's true.She recently completed her goal of achieving a bachelor's degree before the age of 50. And she beat it with time to spare. So we had a cookout with friends and family over to celebrate. Except we scheduled it months ago and little did we know it'd be on the hottest day of the year.

I popped in my zipcode and the number of miles was set to 20 and there are 14 Home Depots within 20 miles of my zip. Is that crazy? I checked the zip I grew up in and there are 2. I expanded it to 50 miles and then there are 24 Home

This is in the alley behind the house I grew up in. The wall is maybe 10 ft high and there are train tracks at the top. They used to rattle the house but it was cool.

Well, the off-season from Hell continues along it's merry way. First we have to dump Santonio Holmes for a bag of peanuts. Then Big Ben gets accused of getting frisky with a young co-ed complete with accounts of vaginal bruising which results in a 4-6 game suspension. Now Ben's sidekick, Willie Colon, has a torn Achilles and is likely out for the season. Frankly I can't wait for the season to

And as you close followers of this blog know, this story was supposed to be an update on the Afro Bop Alliance concert and we'll get to that. But the real story here is the Gettysburg Jazz Festival.

So we're going on a vacation and we're getting passports. Our local Post Office only has odd hours for filing the paperwork and they don't do weekends which is ludicrous.

The first day of the Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival started off in colorful fashion with the South Philadelphia String Band. A marching unit that is essentially a saxophone army surrounded by a couple accordions, several string basses, and a few banjos.

I saw Buddy Guy again last night at a small venue outside of Philadelphia. It's the third time I've seen him in as many years. As always, he didn't disappoint.

It's hard to read articles like this when you have kids. Some items that are in the story get glossed over and I don't understand why. One of them is from one of the victim's fathers where he says "Echoing statements he made at Gardner's plea hearing, Brent King said his family would have preferred the death penalty, but knew it was an "empty promise" in California." Amen brother. I would go

40 years ago on May 4, 1970 the world changed as shots rang out at Kent State University in Ohio. Much like the shots at Lexington and Concord, these shots changed America forever. I know they changed my life. I was 15, a high school sophomore at the time and a pretty gung-ho supporter of the government's efforts to win the war in Viet Nam. But when 4 students were shot to death for offering a

Limas Sweed was already holding onto his roster spot by his fingernails; rupturing his Achille's heel did nothing to help that this year. On the plus side for him, he'll get paid as they will most likely place him on IR.

This story will hopefully grow some legs and take some heat off of Ben for a while. I like Sean Payton a little so I hope it's not true, but we need a diversion badly.

Excellent photos. These are cool to look at while I'm watching The Pacific on HBO. I was much more into Band of Brothers but The Pacific is still good. I don't care if it's Utah Beach or one of the beaches in the Pacific, if I was in one of those transport vehicles, I think I would have thrown up, jumped over the back and started swimming. I can't believe the courage those dudes had.

People have such short memories. They will eventually forget about Ben's suspension. Bret Michaels apparently suffered a massive brain hemorrhage. Nobody knows why. I do! Click Here. How fast people forget. Maybe Trump made him think too hard on Celebrity Apprentice. I shouldn't make fun of this as it's pretty serious - but that's what we do here isn't it?

So in the second and third rounds we still stayed away from cornerbacks. Not quite sure why. Yes, Santonio Holmes was cut so he could go bake somewhere else but I seriosuly don't think a slot receiver is more important to the team right now than trying to find an NFL caliber corner. Emmanuel Sanders was projected to be a 4th round pick and several receivers projected to be 3rd rounders were still

We had our 50,000th hit about 10 minutes ago! Wooo Hoooo. I wish I knew who it was but I think it was a random visitor, not a regular. It's funny how they found us....they found the image from Google Images of the Steelers Motivation Poster I put together I guess about 7 months ago. The hit came from Chester, Virgina. I don't know Dog, there are days I really feel like pulling the plug on this.

Stiller's #1 Draft Choice, Maurkice PounceySo far, so good for the Stillers 2010 draft. It's only one round and I think it's pretty ridiculous to assess the quality of the draft the day after. But I'm happy with Maurkice Pouncey as our #1 pick and I have to believe most of Steeler Nation agrees.As I predicted in my pre-draft post, with Rolando McClain gone to the Raiders early on, our choice

The Steelers made a very smart move today resigning Byron Leftwich to cover any suspension Ben Roethlisberger faces to start the season. Look for Batch to retire after not making the team after serving as another arm in camp and instantly being hired as a coach. I worry about one thing....his slow delivery and our offensive line. Ben is always able to make one move that buys him a little time and

Alabama's Rolando McClainAs you know, we're gonna slant this toward the Stiller point of view. But we're also going to take a look at some other folks who are going to make a pro roster next year somewhere. Because who knows, they might end up wearing the Black & Gold too.First of all let me get this out of the way. I think the best professional prospect in this upcoming draft is without a doubt

I have officially had it up to my neck in Ben Roethlisberger stories and speculation. That's both about what happened in that Georgia bar, and what's going to happen to him now that my own speculation has come pretty darn close to the facts as we know them from police reports.So this is one last post on this subject and then we're moving on, OK? We got a hugely important draft coming up this

We were so close at the game tonight it was like being on the field. We saw a lot of runs scored and I think it was 7-7 after 3 innings which took FOREVER.

In this the age of television, one nation controlled by the media, you are undoubtedly hearing and seeing the Steeler front office getting blasted broadside for trading Santonio Holmes to the Jets for a 5th round draft pick and a roll of Lifesavers. In the famous words of Lee Corso, "Not so fast, my friend." This is not anywhere near the worst trade the Steelers ever made.Here’s a trade that

Well the Rooneys got a little respect back by trading repeat offender Santonio Holmes to the Jets. Holmes got the NFL equivalent of one US dollar in trade value by garnering a 5th round pick in this year's draft. The Steelers solved multiple problems with this move. First, rumor has it that he was busted for drugs again and will be suspended for the first four games this season. Second, he is in
