Referencing the fact that Mike Tomlin looks like Omar Epps is older than slap bracelets, but tell me you didnt giggle after "House" dropped that one-liner? Hahaha.
Busy day for Steeler news, huh? Good thing we covered it all....
Haha! Sorry, the sense of panic in Steeler Nation has given us a brand new sense of humor.
Maybe the Nation has seen too many "2012" promos that we think the world is crumbling around us and the Steelers. Or maybe we re-watched the Chiefs game......
Anyways, the Steelers released special team turds, Donovan Woods and Keiwan Ratliff and picked up LB, Rocky Boiman, and CB, Corey Ivy to replace them on the roster [Story]. While these are no blockbuster moves, we like what Tomlin is doing. He's basically saying that the special teams performance is down right, unacceptable, and somebody has to pay!
Boiman should be an upgrade from Woods as he has been around the league a bit longer and was a special teams standout for the Titans. He's basically, Clint Kreidwalt with the same name as a fictional character that is worshiped by people in Philly (that was a bit elaborate, no?).
We are all familiar with Cory Ivy as he was a former starter for the Baltimore Ravens. Still, nobody is closer with Ivy than Limas Sweed:
Sweed's best career highlight? So far, yes.....
That should make some good locker room conversation.
We welcome you, Corey and Rocky. May you make every tackle on special teams this Sunday or we'll photoshop you making out with Sally Struthers.
Oh and, Tyler Palko will be awarded a practice squad contract, tomorrow. Neat. If he ever takes a snap as the Starting Quarteback of the Pittsburgh Steelers, we'll run the New York Marathon next year.........naked.
Cotter sumed it up in his 'State of the Union" post, earlier today (I don't have to link it, look down, its the next post dummies) that we are remaining calm and have faith in our fearless leader, Coach Mike Tomlin. We suggest you do the same. Big game this week and we will be here every day to take large massive dumps on the Ravens and their male cheerleaders. Look out, Ray Ray.
But today serves as a notice to all Steeler special teamers - make a freaking tackle or you'll be next on the chopping block.
Here's looking at you, Patrick Bailey and Joe Burnett.
I can't even tell you how irate I was when they banned these things from my elementary school. Them, and the Bart Simpson shirts that said, "Eat my shorts." Never quite understood how that was soooo offensive in the first place.

Grumpy
You're too young to remember Sally Struthers when she was hot. You would have done her.
