Tailgate Theme Casual Day!






We had a tailgate theme casual day at work on Wednesday. We are normally in suits, so it was nice to kick back and put on jeans and our favorite sports team jersey. I am in enemy territory being a Steelers fan in Ravens country, but it went ok with no new bumps or bruises to report. The third pic is of myself, Dawn Belton (#36 the Bus) from here in Baltimore, and Adrian Thomas also from Baltimore, MD. The fourth pic is of Adrian and Melissa Derowski (Giants fan) who is from York, PA but grew up in Northern NJ as a die hard Giants fan. The fifth pic is Nick Jones from Baltimore, MD, myself, Chris Dustin (sporting the Home Ray Lewis jersey) from Westminster, MD, Kyle Weadock ( Orange Ray Lewis "the U" jersey) from Baltimore, MD, Matt Corbett ( Away Ray Lewis jersey) from Baltimore, MD ,and Adrian again. The last pic is of myself, Chris, and Adrian. Chris is not liking standing with two Steelers fans! Anyone want to take a guess who Baltimore fans favorite player is after looking at these pics?

Last fall/winter we all saw the classic sepia toned photo with our Steelers kneeling in prayer before a game. We in the Steelers Nation took it a step further and all fowarded e-mails with a Steelers-take on the Lord's Prayer. Here is a guy reciting that famous work.

America's Team?

Poll: Steelers are America's team

By The Tribune-Review

Wednesday, September 27, 2006

The Super Bowl champion is apparently the people's champion, as well.
The Steelers topped a recent poll in which adults nationwide were asked to name their favorite NFL team.
The Steelers garnered 16 percent of the vote in an online poll conducted by Harris. They were followed by the Cowboys (15 percent), Colts (13 percent), Packers (11 percent) and Patriots and Bears (9 percent each).
This marks the first time the Steelers finished first since Harris began conducting the poll in 1998.
The Steelers came in second to the Colts among the same fans when asked which team would win the Super Bowl this season.
Voting was conducted Sept. 7-13. Since then, the Steelers have lost consecutive games and trail the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals by two games in the AFC North.

Looking For A Place To Watch Steelers Games?


Steelers drive-in a neighborhood hit

By Richard Byrne ReillyTRIBUNE-REVIEW
Saturday, September 23, 2006

The best Steelers party in Western Pennsylvania could be the one at the end of Rocky and Jimmy Diulus' Brentwood driveway.
The brothers and next door neighbor Jim Sauro have set up what they're calling a Steelers drive-in: a 20-foot-by-20-foot viewing screen made of high-quality polyurethane where Black and Gold games are broadcast in high-definition television amplified by a professional-grade Bose audio system.
The outdoor showings are a hit. More than 200 people showed up for the Steelers' Monday night loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Guests munched on free pizza and hors d'oeuvres washed down with soda, beer and cocktails while lounging on lawn chairs and blankets. Many could be heard praising the screen's high quality, where blades of grass from the playing field and the pores on coach Bill Cowher's nose were visible from 10 feet away.
"It's almost better than being at the stadium," said Doreen Joyce, a nurse from Carrick.
Her husband, Bill, nodded.
"Jimmy really knows how to throw a party," he said.
Rocky Diulus said this is the second time they've opened up their driveway to fans. The first was the Sept. 7 game against the Miami Dolphins, when about 65 people showed up, including many parents with young children. Judging by the high turnouts, the men have vowed to show every Steelers night game this season free of charge.
"This is the second official game we've shown. We'll be showing every night game from here on out," said Sauro, who shares a common driveway with the Diulus brothers.
Monday's game attracted a diverse crowd. One viewer remarked that half of Brentwood High School seemed to be watching. Mothers could be seen snuggling with sleeping babies. College sweethearts held hands while drinking Red Bull. Two sisters from Italy ate pizza. Someone set up a crib where a 16-month-old girl dozed comfortably during the second quarter.
As the first quarter got under way, a woman stood at the top of the driveway, where the crowd was spilling out to the street, and could not contain her excitement.
"Oh, my God, this is awesome," she said.
The idea for the drive-in was born at a block party in August. Neighbors threw together a rudimentary 10-foot screen made of plywood and showed a movie.
"It was Flinstones-esque at first," Rocky Diulus said.
Then, Rocky, Jimmy and neighbors Dan Koch, Sauro and Joel Brennan, an electrician at Kennywood, decided a better setup was needed. Someone brought up the idea of showing Steelers night games.
"We got to thinking, 'Wouldn't it be nice to have a bigger screen?'" Brennan said.
The result is a marvel of Steel City ingenuity. Two holes three feet deep support 20-foot-tall flagpoles, secured with 400 pounds of concrete. The huge screen is secured to the flagpoles by guide wires affixed to the rear.
Cables hooked up to DirecTV and running from the Diulus house power the large projector unit. Dan Koch, a DJ who lives across the street, supplied the audio system, which could be heard for blocks.
"It was partially my brainchild," Koch said.
The Brentwood police say they have received a few calls complaining about the crowd. After Monday's game ended, a police cruiser stopped by. Neighbors had a friendly chat with the officer, who said he wished he, too, was able to watch the game.
"As far as I'm concerned," the officer said, "the neighborhood needs more of this kind of thing."

A Friendly Little Wager

Cincinnati mayor here to pay off playoff bet

Saturday, September 23, 2006By Rich Lord, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory is threatening to lead an army of football fans to Pittsburgh today, and is asking them to "pack the tailgating areas around the stadium" and "show Pittsburgh that the Bengals are back and better than ever."
Mr. Mallory is making good on a bet he lost to the late Mayor Bob O'Connor when the Steelers defeated the Bengals in a Jan. 8 playoff game. The mayor of the city with the losing team pledged to visit the winner's city.
"We look forward to showing the mayor of Cincinnati what it's like to live in a big city," said Dick Skrinjar, spokesman for new Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, who will host Mr. Mallory.
"Mallory was confident that he would be hosting Mayor O'Connor," the Cincinnati mayor's office said in a press release issued yesterday. "But, early in the game, Carson Palmer injured his knee and the Steelers snuck out of Cincinnati with a win that would propel them to a Super Bowl victory."
Mr. Mallory will bring his assistant city manager, fire chief and assistant police chief, to compare notes with Pittsburgh's leadership. He also hopes to bring a black-and-orange-striped invading force.
"We need to show up in full force to show them we mean business," he exhorted in his release. "I am calling on everyone who can to join us at Paul Brown Stadium [this morning] and caravan to Pittsburgh."
In February, Mr. Mallory zinged Mr. O'Connor because he didn't get a return call when he tried to arrange his loser's trip to Pittsburgh. "Maybe Mayor O'Connor does not think that his city is worth showing off?" he taunted in a press release then.
Mr. O'Connor's death on Sept. 1 from brain cancer led to a tribute in the latest release.
"Mayor O'Connor was truly proud of Pittsburgh and his beloved Steelers," the Cincinnati mayor wrote. "He understood how to have fun and promote his city at the same time. I am honored to be able to pay tribute to his life by going to Pittsburgh and fulfilling our wager."

Do You Remember TJ Doing This Last December?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9eStClEs3M

Do You Want To Know How To Work Heinz Field Into A Frenzy?

The answer is to play a little Styx. Yes, that is correct. If you have never been to Heinz Field before, you have to check out this video. Have you ever wondered what the hell happened during a TV timeout when our Defense is on the field? This videos shows you firsthand. They crank the Styx song "Renegade" and show highlights of our defense crushing opponents on the jumbotron. It works the crowd into a frenzy for when the game resumes. Everyone is on their feet waiving their Terrible Towels and singing along! This is from the opener against the Dolphins.

We in the Steelers Nation love our Styx! LOL!!! Here is another really cool You Tube video from this past January:

AFC North Update


The first place 2-0 Bungles come to Heinz Field this Sunday to play our third place 1-1 Steelers at 1:00. Smack talk has already been flowing between Joey and Chad/TJ. The Bungles feel as if they have something to prove after losing the playoff game against us in January. We all have to remember that the Bungles won the AFC North last year, and we traveled to Cincy as the "supposed" underdog in this Wild Card matchup. After the Bungles game our Steelers have their bye week. We do not want to go into the bye week with a 1-2 record. The other two AFC North teams play each other as well. Baltimore is tied for first place with Cincy with a 2-0 record. The Ravens will travel to Cleveland to play the last place 0-2 Brownies in a 4:05 game. Baltimore has not won in Cleveland in several years. This may be the game to end that streak. The Ravens look like a new team and are playing inspired football with Steve McNair. The question is whether the Ravens (weak) offense line can keep the injury prone McNair off his back. The Ravens Defense is the number one ranked Defense in the league through two games. It will be interesting to see how the AFC North looks like Sunday evening.

Bungles Get Fired Up!

Cowher antics stoke rivalry

By Joe StarkeyTRIBUNE-REVIEW
Thursday, September 21, 2006

CINCINNATI - At the NFL Combine in late February, Steelers coach Bill Cowher was asked about his mocking of the Cincinnati Bengals' victory chant.
"I know; I know," Cowher said. "I'm not going to be well-liked in Cincinnati."
He got that right.
Bengals fans with long memories aren't hard to find. Just spend five minutes downtown.
"I didn't like it -- and a lot of Cincinnati fans didn't like it," said Rhonda Hall, manager of a Bruegger's Bagels near Paul Brown Stadium. "They were taking our chant and turning it against us."
"I think it was pretty classless," said Damien Fullinger, 25. "They'd taken out our quarterback (Carson Palmer), and they were rubbing it in our face."
NFL Films had captured Cowher leading his team in a "Who Dey? We Dey!" chant in the locker room after a playoff victory here. It was a play on the Bengals' victory chant, which goes, "Who Dey? Who Dey? Who dey think gonna beat dem Bengals?"
A month later, at the Steelers' Super Bowl victory parade, Cowher again conducted his version of the chant, this time with a quarter of a million Steelers fans.
Cowher stepped to the microphone that day and said, "When I say 'Who Dey!' you say, 'We Dey!' Ready? ... Who Dey?"
The crowd responded to three Cowher prompts, after which the coach exclaimed, "I love that!"
Bengals coach Marvin Lewis didn't particularly like it, but he was quick to use some footage as a motivational tool going into Sunday's game at Heinz Field.
Before practice Wednesday, Lewis showed his players video of the Steelers' locker-room celebration in Cincinnati.
"My first time seeing it was this morning," said receiver Chad Johnson. "Coach played it for us, and, I don't know, it's just ... very rude."
"We don't need any motivation, but (Cowher) said it, and you can't take it off tape; you can't erase it," said defensive tackle John Thornton. "Just like after we beat them up there, guys were wiping their shoes with the Terrible Towels, using it as a bib. It's give-and-take, but those guys, they took it a lot further than we did."
Thornton, an ex-West Virginia star, laughed and added, "You do things after a win that you normally wouldn't do ... but he did it again after the Super Bowl win. I actually went up to a basketball game (in Pittsburgh) to see West Virginia play and people were doing it there, so I guess their whole city likes Cincinnati a lot. We have to take it as a sign of respect."
Cowher insisted in February and repeated yesterday that he meant no harm.
"Imitation is the greatest form of flattery," Cowher said in a conference call with Cincinnati reporters.
Lewis, in his news conference yesterday, initially denied having seen a clip of the Steelers' locker-room celebration. A reporter then informed Lewis that his players revealed he'd shown them the clip earlier in the day.
"They've seen it," Lewis said, smiling. "We do a lot of different things every morning."
Several Bengals players, including Palmer, couldn't have cared less about Cowher's antics.
"People have different opinions of that," Palmer said. "I don't think much of it. I'm sure they were excited to beat us and move on. Who knows what we're going to be saying if we have a chance to beat them and move on."
Offensive tackle Willie Anderson, a long-time voice of reason in the Bengals' locker room, believes the whole thing is a waste of time.
"It was our fault they won the game, you know what I mean?" Anderson said. "They deserved to win. For me personally, I'm not going to use a Who-Dey chant to get me fired up. I'm a professional football player. I'm going to go out there and play hard every week. To me, the old Bengals teams would have used that, saying, 'They used the Who-Dey chant.' Come on, man. Championship teams don't use that."
Lewis, apparently, disagrees.

Hard Feelings?

Big Ben: 'I don’t hate anybody'

By Joe StarkeyTRIBUNE-REVIEW
Thursday, September 21, 2006

CINCINNATI – In a conference call Thursday with reporters in Cincinnati, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was asked about two much-publicized comments out of Bengals headquarters.
The first came from Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer, who told Sports Illustrated a few months back that he “hates the Steelers.” “I hope he doesn’t hate me,” Roethlisberger said, jokingly.
Does Roethlisberger hate the Bengals?
“Absolutely not,” he said. “I don’t hate anybody.”
The other comment came from Bengals coach Marvin Lewis after last year’s playoff loss to the Steelers, when Lewis was asked about the knee injury Palmer sustained in the game, on a hit from defensive end Kimo von Oelhoffen. Lewis did not criticize the hit.
“To sit here like a baby and cry like their quarterback, it’s ridiculous,” Lewis said.
Lewis was referring to Roethlisberger’s comment earlier in the season, in reference to a hit from Bengals linebacker Odell Thurman in the game Dec. 4 at Heinz Field.
A few days after the game, Roethlisberger said, “From what I heard, (Thurman) said he got pushed or tripped or something; but anytime you go low on a quarterback, you know it's a little dirty.”
Yesterday, Roethlisberger responded to Lewis’s comment.
“I heard the comment, and I was kind of taken aback by it, because I don’t ever remember crying about it,” Roethlisberger said. “That’s not really my style. I don’t think it was a dirty hit when he did hit me, and I would never, even if I did think something was dirty, come out and say it was dirty. So, it kind of threw me for a loop when Coach Lewis said that, because I don’t expect that coming from him. But, hey, that’s the way he felt, and he’s entitled to his opinion, and that’s fine.”
Roethlisberger touched on one other issue: His fever at the Monday Night game against Jacksonville. It was reported at 104 degrees by ESPN reporter Michele Tafoya. Steelers coach Bill Cowher, the next morning, said the fever actually had been 100.4 degrees. Tafoya stood by her story, saying she asked Roethlisberger about the fever 90 minutes before the game.
Roethlisberger says that was not the case.
“I’m not really sure where she got 104,” he said. “You know me, I don’t really tell you guys anything. I told (ESPN’s) Chris Berman 100.4. I’m not sure what happened. I’m not going to throw her under the bus by saying she was lying. Who knows what happened.”

An Ugly Game...


The final score read 0-9. But is was much uglier than that score could imply. 153 yards of total offense compared to 362. Three first downs. We only had 22:35 for time of possession compared to 37:25. We only crossed the 50 yard line one time. I could go on, but it is in the past. I am going to leave it here. Let's just move on and get ready for the Bungles.

Fever Gate?

How bad was Big Ben's fever?

By Joe StarkeyTRIBUNE-REVIEW
Wednesday, September 20, 2006

Bill Cowher showed up for his weekly news conference Tuesday in a predictably sour mood, only hours removed from perhaps the worst beating a Steelers offense has endured since he became coach in 1992.
One issue Cowher quickly attempted to clear, in the wake of a 9-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, was quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's fever.
Cowher said Roethlisberger did not have a 104-degree temperature, as was reported by Michele Tafoya on ESPN's Monday night broadcast.
"The fever was 100.4, not 104, OK?" Cowher said. "Somebody miscalculated a decimal point."
So, it was misreported?
"I don't know," Cowher said. "I didn't watch any pregame shows."
Tafoya, contacted by telephone last night, stood by her story. She'd heard that Roethlisberger had a cold and a high fever and checked it out with him.
"I spoke with Ben directly, 90 minutes before the game," said Tafoya, a sideline reporter. "I said, 'What's your temperature?' He said it was 104 at 2 o'clock. When he said that, I thought, 'I can't believe he's out here.' If he said 100.4 to me, I would have said, 'That's not very high, unless it's a toddler.' I never would have gone with anything I didn't believe he had said."
Chris Butler, M.D., a family practitioner with Premier Medical Associates in Monroeville, said a 104-degree temperature still is within range of a body's normal response to infection but that 105 or above would be considered a "pathological response."
"I would say in terms of a person's ability to function physically, I would be alarmed at 104," Butler said.
The situation evokes "Toe-Gate," which developed in the wake of the 2004 AFC Championship Game. Two days after he was intercepted three times in the Steelers' 41-27 loss to the New England Patriots, Roethlisberger told reporters he'd sustained two broken toes on his right foot during a first-half scramble.
A day later, Cowher forcefully denied the claim, saying, "We are unaware of any problems with his toes, OK? Ben does not have broken toes. I talked to Ben last night and got it straight from his mouth, and that's that."
Tafoya interviewed Roethlisberger after Monday's game and asked if he still had a fever.
"I'm not feeling too well," he said.
Certainly, the Steelers' offense was sickly. It produced just 26 rushing yards, the lowest total of Cowher's 15-year tenure.
Roethlisberger, under constant pressure, completed 17 of 32 passes for 141 yards, two interceptions and a passer rating of 38.7, fourth-lowest of his career. He was 15 days removed from an emergency appendectomy, which caused him to miss the season-opener, and barely three months removed from a near-fatal motorcycle accident that required seven hours of facial reconstruction surgery.

Swann Receives Help!

Swann gets fundraising help from former Steelers teammate
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP)


-- Republican Lynn Swann's gubernatorial campaign is getting a fundraising hand from fellow Hall of Fame wide receiver John Stallworth, his Pittsburgh Steelers teammate.
In an e-mail sent Friday to several thousand Swann supporters, Stallworth said he hopes to raise at least $50,000 for Swann before the next campaign-finance reporting deadline on Sept. 18.
"Lynn is going to bring the leadership to the commonwealth that he showed on the field for the Steelers," Stallworth wrote. "Your donation, no matter how large or small, will help us reach that goal."
Stallworth and Swann, both members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, were drafted by the Steelers in 1974. They were teammates throughout Swann's nine-year career, which included four Super Bowl victories. Stallworth played five more seasons with the Steelers, retiring in 1987.
Swann, a political rookie who would be Pennsylvania's first black governor, badly needs cash to finance the TV advertising that will be increasingly important in the eight weeks left in his campaign against Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell.
Rendell, a career politician and prolific fundraiser, was leading Swann by 20 percentage points in August, according to independent polls. Rendell had raised nearly $20 million when the last reports were filed in June - four times as much as Swann.
Rendell aired a 10-week statewide TV blitz in the spring, touting his first-term record. Swann aired an introductory ad just before Labor Day and followed up last week with an ad raising questions about the administration's track record on putting welfare recipients to work.

Character Counts


By Mike PrisutaTRIBUNE-REVIEWSunday, September 17, 2006

It takes about a month or so each season, Steelers coach Bill Cowher suspects, before he really knows what type of team he has, what sort of hand he's been dealt.
Will the individuals embrace their roles or become distracted by selfish goals?
Will the group compete at all costs or back down at the first sign of trouble?
Will the identity be that of a champion or an also-ran?
Cowher's still searching for such answers as the Steelers head to Jacksonville to play the Jaguars in their second game of the season.
If the opener against the Miami Dolphins is any indication, these Steelers are well on their way to duplicating last season's mindset, as they continue to deal with the inevitable changes that have altered their season-to-season makeup.
"Like coach Cowher says, it's tough to find your identity because we're a different team than we were last year with the loss of some key leaders," strong safety Troy Polamalu said. "But it's always nice to win, especially the way we did.
"We'll find out in the future how we hold up."

Troy To Play!

Steelers Notebook: Polamalu will play against Jacksonville

Friday, September 15, 2006By Colin Dunlap, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

The way Steelers strong safety Troy Polamalu looks at it, these National Football League injury report thresholds are just an arbitrary barometer.
Yesterday, Polamalu, who sustained a shoulder injury in the Steelers' 28-17 season opening victory against Miami last Thursday, was upgraded from questionable to probable. Don't look for Polamalu to miss Monday night's game at Jacksonville.
He hammered the point home after practice yesterday, admitting that it would take a seismic happening to make this the first game he had miss in his three seasons in the NFL.
"God forbid, if I were paralyzed, died or called to do something else," Polamalu said. "That would be the only way I'd miss this game. Everyone gets injured playing this game at one time or another. You just have to deal with it."
Polamalu pointed to a three-play stretch in the second half against Miami as the point in which the injury occurred. On all three plays, he had rattling collisions with Miami players. After the game, coach Bill Cowher mistakenly said the injury occurred in the first half.
"It happened near the end of the third quarter or the beginning of the fourth," Polamalu said yesterday.
"It is a bone bruise, a shoulder contusion and something with my bursa sac."
While Polamalu and tight end Jerame Tuman (hamstring) were elevated to probable, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (appendectomy) is listed as questionable.
Asked whether Roethlisberger's status could linger into a game-time decision, Cowher said, "It appears there is a good chance that could be the case."
But if practice is an accurate gauge, Roethlisberger should be the starter against the Jaguars. Yesterday, just 11 days after his appendectomy, was the second consecutive day he practiced.

Steelers Sign Najeh Davenport



PITTSBURGH The Steelers added size and experience to their backfield today when they signed veteran running back Najeh Davenport to a one-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not released.

Davenport (6-1, 247), a fifth-year veteran from the University of Miami, spent his first four NFL seasons with the Green Bay Packers. In 39 games, Davenport has rushed for 1,068 yards and seven touchdowns on 217 carries (4.9 avg.). He also has caught 17 passes for 107 yards (6.3 avg.).

Originally drafted by the Packers in the fourth round (135th overall) of the 2002 NFL Draft, Davenport missed most of the 2005 season after breaking his ankle on Oct. 9 against New Orleans. The 27-year-old Davenport, whose first name is pronounced "NAH-jay", set a personal best with 178 rushing yards on Nov. 29, 2004, against the St. Louis Rams.

The Steelers made room on their roster for Davenport by releasing rookie running back Patrick Cobbs, whom the team acquired in a trade from the New England Patriots on Sept. 1.

Gameballs!





Our Gameballs for the win against the Dolphins go to Charlie Batch and Joey Porter. Batch played very well in his fill in role going 15-25 for 209 yards and a three touchdowns. Most important stat. No turnovers! Porter finished the game with three tackles(two solo), two sacks and a returned 42 yard interception for a touchdown. No gameballs will be handed out this week to special teams due to their sloppy play. Congrats and hats off to both Charlie and Joey!

Greeny & Golic To Be In The Burgh





Mike & Mike will be in Pittsburgh this upcoming week visiting one of ESPN's flagship stations(They will be at Nemacolin Woodlands just outside of Uniontown, PA on Wednesday). Several of us enjoy listening to the guys during our morning commute on ESPN talk radio or viewing them on ESPN2. Greeny (huge Jets fan) may have given us the kiss of death this past week as picking our Steelers to repeat as AFC Champs. Golic (grew up a Brownies fan but played for the Eagles) picked Indy. Here are some past pics of Mike & Mike in Pittsburgh doing their show. One of the pics has Steelers Hall of Famer Jack Ham in it with them.
