This is your thread to talk about … well, whatever you want.
– Yes, it’s slow right now, and we apologize for the lack of content lately, but man … this lockout sucks. I will say that this week I’m going to have a post that takes a look at the best non-quarterback passers in Steelers history, and yes, the list contains more than just Antwaan Randle El. On the plus side, once the lockout does end it’s likely to be madness for a couple of days while teams frantically sign free agents. So that should be fun.
– I was going to do a post on this but never got around to it, but the big football-related news over the past week was the renewal of the Pitt-Penn State football rivalry that is scheduled to return in 2016 (at Pitt) and 2017 (at Penn State). How excited are you for a game that’s still five years away in a series that is only going to last two years (if we’re to believe Penn State athletic director Tim Curley)? I mean, if you’re entering your freshman year at either school you’ll have already graduated by the time this game kicks off. And the trash talk has already started! Sports!

– Will Neil O’Donnell ever get some respect? For the record, I think O’Donnell was an underrated quarterback in Steelers history. No, he wasn’t Ben Roethlisberger or Terry Bradshaw, but he also wasn’t Mark Malone or Tommy Maddox. I still believe that if he returns to the team in 1996 they go back to the Super Bowl.
