"A TV station sued the team after Cleveland said it
would break the station's contract to broadcast
preseason games and other programming. The Browns are
upset because the station aired a 911 call involving
the team owner's relatives."

On a more important note, it looks like the Steelers
will have three more draft picks left to sign after today.

It may only be a rumor, but I heard that, in order to insure that all

Rich,

Due to professional commitments, I'd be unable to make the trip to
Latrobe.

Unfortunately for them, the consistency relates to
run-ins with the law, not production on the field.
While the bad press seems to have subsided for us, the
Bengals keep on rolling...

"Cincinnati officers trying to arrest defensive tackle
Matthias Askew after a parking violation used a Taser
to subdue him and charged him with resisting arrest.
The arrest came about a week after Bengals owner Mike
Brown issued a statement to reassure fans the team has
standards for its players. Three other Bengals have
been charged with criminal offenses in recent months."

It seems that NFL Network will be showing ALL of the preseason games that
are not already being nationally televised. That means that we can see our
Steelers play LIVE on August 12th at 4:05 PM on NFL Network and on August
25th at 8:00 on ESPN, and then taped on Sunday, August 20 (game's on the
19th) and Saturday, September 2 (game's on Aug 31). Pretty exciting. It's
been a long off-season, and I'm ready for some football!!

I see that the Steelers are doing their best to put a positive spin on
Holmes; the "Ask the Steelers" section on the Official website is
with...Santonio Holmes!
It's the usual "I'm happy to be a Steeler/they are my favorite team/I
hope to remain the same hard working individual I have always been"
stuff.
We'll see....at least he doesn't seem to be as f-ed up as some of the
Bungals!
Hines had a good comment about Holmes-how he'll shape up once they get
him into "our system" and how his problems will get worked out in the
locker room....maybe they'll have Casey Hampton sit on him 'till he
shapes up!!
TWO MORE WEEKS!!!
Richard

I don't get it... all of the reports about Holmes on
draft day talked about how mature he is, how he had to
help his mother raise his siblings, etc.

I guess we shouldn't read too much into this. There
may be valid reasons he hasn't called Ben back, but it
is disconcerting. I really hope it's not just another
first-round pick who has an ego problem.

On another subject, I saw part of the Roethlisberger
interview on ESPN this morning. They showed the
Steelers' QB depth chart, which listed Ben, Batch,
and... Maddox. Did we re-sign him?? I didn't have the
sound on, so I guess (hope) they could have been
talking about last season.

Santonio's actions continue to concern me. A quote from Roethlisberger while
answering reporters at the golf tournament he's attending:

"I've reached out to Santonio, kind of like [Jerome Bettis] did to me."

"I gave him my numbers, told him to call me, and when he got into trouble, I
called him a bunch of time and left a bunch of messages for him, and he has
never called me back, so I don't know how to take it.

"If he wants me to help him and wants me to take him under my wing, I'll do
that, but it is his call, now, not mine. The ball is in his court, so to
speak, but I think he'll be OK and, hopefully, he'll get to camp and get his
head screwed on straight."

Sounds bad...really bad. If Santonio's not responding to his v. injured
quaterback's call (and Ben's willing to give Santonio a call just a week
after his horrendous accident), who will Santonio respond to. Scary, to say
the least.

(Whole article can be found at
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06195/705856-66.stm)

Also, I can't believe that Flutie won the ESPY for "GMC PROFESSIONAL GRADE
PLAY AWARD" for best play of the season. That stupid drop kick won him an
award? Was this really a better play that Randle El's superbowl touchdown?
Come on!!

~Ashly

PS--Where is everyone???

I'm sure that you all have seen the ESPN interview by now...it's on ESPN's
homepage if you haven't. V. interesting...but I wish Ben hadn't used the "I
forgot" excuse for why he wasn't wearing a helmet. I think he kinda comes
across like an ass, but I'm sure that he was just defensive because of the
reporter's line of questioning. He looks good (although slimmer in his
face), but his voice is different...more nasal and a bit higher pitched or
something. It's good to see him back!

Also, very excited that the Steelers won the Best Team ESPY (and Cowher best
coach), but I think that Roethlisberger got robbed for the second year in a
row (last year, didn't win "best breakout performance"---really, come on,
and this year, lost to Alexander for "Best Record Breaking Performance"). Oh
well...what are you gonna do?

According to my father:

Ben Roethlisberger will be on Good Morning America on Friday.  He is
being interviewed by Robin Roberts.  Don't know time of interview.

Watching the Home Run Derby...but ONLY because its in The 'Burgh!
The City of Champions looks great!!
And how cool is it that both teams are in Black and Gold!!!???
By the way...18 DAYS 'TILL TRAINING CAMP!!!
Richard

The answer to what do the Steelers & Pirates have in common is this:

....they both win once a week.

Tim
**from back in western PA

I think that the funniest line has to be this one:

"If he is, if all the physical skills and the
tantalizing potential that has the Steelers so
intoxicated turn Roethlisberger into the second coming
of Drew Bledsoe, the pick will be recognized years
from now for its brilliance."

If Ben turned into Drew Bledsoe, with all of his
timely interceptions, wouldn't that be a failure?

Good points about the Tigers.  It's great to see Leyland doing so well.  And
Detroit has been kind to the Steelers recently.  :)

But while I've got nothing against Detroit right now (and I've got *plenty*
against the Pirates current ownership), I'm not going to go around rooting
for a non-'Burgh team.  I just don't have it in me.  Know what I mean?


Cheers,

OK Friends,

Time for a radical move.

Who's the "Burgh's favorite baseball manager of recent times?

What low budget team is he now managing, and leading them to the best
record in baseball?

The wealthy Red Sox have done their thing.

Now it's time for:

Pittsburgh Steeler Supporters for the Tigers - PSST

or

Pittsburgh Is Supporting the Tigers - PIST

Our great leader Tim may be convinced to ask Roggies to have Tiger
Sunday games on the other TV.

Who's with us??

Well beyond 2004."

I'm glad that "well beyond" translated into "next season."

just like to say IM HOME . im not a computer person Charlie goddart
called me about this site . now i cant wait to expeirence roggies

...read this article from 2004-post draft. It gave me quite a chuckle. If
you're suffering from Steelers deprivation, as I currently am, maybe this
will satisfy your hunger. I'm not quite sure how I ended up on this article,
but I'm glad that I did. Could this guy have been any more wrong about
anyone that he names?
