The Winds of change are upon us

"The pessimist complains about the wind ; the optimist expects it to change ; the realist adjust the sails." ~ William Arthur Ward

March 12th  kicked off the 2013 NFL Free Agency period it also kicked up the winds of change for the Pittsburgh Steelers. In just a few short days the Steelers roster has changed significantly.

The Buses' final stop!

Steeler Nation Jerome "The Bus" Bettis is again a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. If you ask me the time has come to enshrine the Bus. Bettis may have been the best big running back ever to play in the NFL and no doubt was the most durable and productive .  He weighed in at about 260 but had the quick feet of a back much lighter . Bettis had a rare combination of size and quickness, big and strong enough to steam roll defenders rarely brought down by one tackler and also quick enough to make people miss when needed . Bettis  rarely ever was subjected to a big hit.

The glass is half full and the sky is the limit!

Steeler Nation  , the Steelers are 5 -3 half way through the 2012 season and things are beginning to take shape. The Steelers beat the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants in New York now winning 3 straight and it looks as though this year's Steeler team is once again a contender.

A defining moment

Steeler nation this week marks the half way point of the 2012 Pittsburgh Steelers season as they take a 4-3 record on the road to meet the defending Super Bowl Champion New York Giants. Roethlisberger VS. Manning this should be a great match up and give us just a little bit better idea of the identity of this year's Pittsburgh Steelers.

The drive for 7 has begun

Steeler Nation the time is finally here!  Steeler's training camp week 1 is now in the books as the 2012 Pittsburgh Steelers begin their quest for their 7th  Super Bowl Championship. The journey begins here .  This is the time  and place where champions are molded . Over the next few weeks Steeler's coaches and players will establish  the foundation of the 2012 Steelers.

The Stars will be out tonight! NFL Draft

Steeler Nation its that time of year again . The NFL draft has arrived and one thing is for sure the stars will be out tonight. The first round of the NFL draft begins tonight and every team will be trying to hitch it's wagon to a star . Every player taken tonight is thought by it's team to be the next big star. The next building block to a bright future.

“Beware the ides of March”

  “Beware the ides of March” this is the famous quote that the soothsayer said to Julius Caesar in William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar but it also could apply to the NFL and the Steelers this March in the 2012 offseason. The NFL free agent signing period begins March 13^th . 

Forever the definition of a Pittsburgh Steelers

Steeler Nation its a sad time for all Steeler fans . The Steelers have cut ties with one of the all time great Steelers ,wide receiver Hines Ward. For 14 wonderful seasons Hines Ward has played the game of football with the heart of a champion, playing smash mouth football with a great passion and tenacity and doing it all with a smile.

A new season starts now!

The NFL play offs are where legends are made. The stage is big. A player can make that jump from just another NFL player to a legendary play maker during these high pressure times where the stakes are high but so are the rewards.

Back in the driver's seat!

  Steeler Nation its been awhile after a long hiatus I'm back and ready to roll...The Pittsburgh Steelers are now 10 -3 and with three games left they are back in the driver's seat for the AFC North division title not to mention possible command of the AFC as the #1 Seed and home field advantage through out the AFC playoffs. All thanks to the Chargers whipping the ravens 34-14

Donna Jean

Steeler Nation , you may have noticed that I have not posted in a while. I have been in grieving over the sudden loss of the most caring ,loving ,and beautiful person I have met or ever will meet. She inspired me daily .  She always believed in me and was always the first to read my posts. She was a true Steeler fan and will be missed by  many.

Donna Jean, you can now read  my writings from a better place and know that anyone that had the pleasure of having you in their life is a better person for it. You will continue to inspire me and will always be a part of me. I know you will continue to watch over all of us. Until we meet again . I know that you are watching from heaven rooting for our Steelers. Thank you Donna Jean.

  Love Always & Forever, Steve


Steeler Nation , thank you for your patience and know that I will begin posting again soon.

Thoughts & The Good,Bad & Ugly of the Steelers Vs Colts week 3

Steeler Nation, The Steelers underwhelmed this week in Indianapolis but won none the less 23-20. The Steelers have to play at a higher level than this in all areas.

Roethlisberger went 25-37 for 364yards passing  and a touchdown and an interception. Roethlisberger had a quarterback rating of  97.1. Roethlisberger also had two costly fumbles. Ben Roethlisberger has to protect the ball better especially with the state his offensive line is in . The fumbles were not all Ben's fault. The Steelers as a whole have to limit turnovers.

The reports of the Steeler's defense's death are greatly exaggerated!

“ The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated .” ~ Mark Twain

Steeler Nation the above quote is a quote credited to the great writer and literary icon Mark Twain after hearing false reports of his death. This same quote could be used by the 2011 Steeler defense.

Lately many people have the Steelers dead and buried especially the Steeler's defense .

Picks of the week for week 3

Steeler Nation it time for my picks of the week ! So far I'm on a cold streak going 2-7 for  the season against the spread but I feel a heatwave on the way! As always remember these picks are for amusement only! Some may make you laugh ...others may have you laughing all the way to the bank!

Thoughts & Keys to Steelers victory at the Colts week 3

Steeler Nation it's  now week three of the 2011 season and the Steelers next game is at Indianapolis taking on the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts will be with out their  leader, quarterback Peyton Manning who is out with a neck injury.

Thoughts & The Good,Bad & Ugly of the Steelers vs Seahawks week 2

Steeler Nation what a difference a week makes ! Of course the quality of the opponent was not exactly

the greatest but the Steelers played Steeler football and did what they were supposed to do,shutting out the Seattle Seahawks 24 - 0. The Steeler's defense is now determined to show the doubters that this group still has plenty left and is still one of the best defenses in the NFL.

Picks of the week for week 2

Steeler Nation its that time of the week again . Time for my picks of the weeks and as always remember these picks are for amusement only! Some may make you laugh ...others may have you laughing all the way to the bank!

Thoughts & Keys to Steelers victory vs. Seattle

Steeler Nation , it's time to move on to week 2 and not a minute too soon. The Steelers will play the Seattle Seahawks in the Steeler's home opener at Heinz Field.

Thoughts & The Good,Bad & Ugly of the Steelers week 1

Steeler Nation wow that was a terrible game.  The Steelers came out in the first game of the season and fell flat on their faces, turning the ball over 7 times on offense and losing to the ravens 35-7. Ben Roethlisberger had 3 interceptions and fumbled the ball twice. Roethlisberger did have 1 touchdown pass to receiver Emmanuel Sanders.
