Technically the halfway point of the season is already over, as the Pittsburgh Penguins have already played 50 of their 82 games. Right now the Penguins sit in second place in their division and our in fourth place in the Eastern Conference. The Pens entered the All-Star break 31-15-4 record.

Steelers' Coach Mike Tomlin: Is He Already a Better Coach Than Bill Cowher?

If the Pittsburgh Steelers win the Super Bowl next Sunday, Mike Tomlin will be all over the record books. He would be the youngest coach to win two Super Bowls, and he would have two Super Bowls in his first four seasons as a head coach, another record.

So I attended the Steeler's pep rally on Friday night at Heinz Field. It was a cold and bitter night in downtown Pittsburgh as a rumored 18,000 fans gathered to celeberate the Steelers going to the Super Bowl.

Steelers have a lot riding on Doug Legursky

Some think Pouncey’s injury could be a huge factor: But I have faith

Last Sunday, the Steelers rookie All-Pro center, Maukrice Pouncey left the field early in the first quarter, and failed to return.  On Thursday, it was released that he had a “broken bone” in his left ankle.

Ben Roethlisberger Is an Elite Quarterback and One of the Best of All Time

I'm beginning to believe that fantasy football is starting to destroy the perception of how players should be judged. Apparently, to be an "elite" QB in the NFL nowadays, all you have to do is throw for 4,000 yards. Even if your team doesn't make the playoffs, you're still elite because you're asked to throw the ball a lot.
There's also a lot of talk about whether or not Ben Roethlisberger deserves to be mentioned as an elite quarterback. Most of Ben's detractors say that he only wins because of his defense and running game. That's true in small doses, but Ben is certainly a big reason why the Steelers will be competing for their third Super Bowl in six years in two Sundays.
