The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off a season where they won 10 games and made the playoffs as they shuffled through three different quarterbacks. One-and-done in the postseason might not sound like an accomplishment, but for this team with that offense, a lot less was expected. Knowing the struggles at the QB position in 2023, it’s a little strange to hear the Steelers aren’t likely to pursue another veteran QB that could challenge for the starting job next season. Kenny Pickett was drafted to be the successor to Ben Roethlisberger, but that transition hasn’t gone as smoothly as head coach…
The Road Blokes had to come from behind this evening with three goals in the final 10 minutes of action to make it 12 unbeaten and maintain their 14 points lead at the top of the Elite League with the Cardiff Devils also coming out victorious. A Marco Vallerand powerplay classic in the first was bettered by the Flame’s McParland who scored in both the first and second, but the ice titled from the 50 minute mark as Juusola wrapped one five-hole, Nicholls sniped one top shelf and Saucerman found the empty net to complete his Gordie Howe hat-trick after…
Although the Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t select a receiver in 2023 for the second time in three years, the Steelers picked at least one wideout in each of the previous nine drafts. Many of those receiver selections came in the middle rounds of the draft. USA Today’s Steelers Wire’s Curt Popejoy connected the Steelers to another potential mid-round receiver pick on February 18 — Texas A&M’s Ainias Smith. Popejoy argued the Steelers should consider drafting Smith to replace veteran receiver Allen Robinson. “Ainias Smith is a do-it-all player who can play wide receiver, running back and as a returner,” Popejoy wrote.…
Bayless has been beating the Tom Brady drum ever since the legendary quarterback left New England in 2020. The polarizing pundit believes Brady was far more responsible for the Patriots’ run of success than Belichick, who never really found his footing after his former running mate left town. Barkley on Friday came to the defense of Belichick, whose status as the NFL’s all-time greatest coach is being questioned amid the Kansas City Chiefs’ growing dynasty. However, the NBA legend clearly is more passionate about his disdain for Bayless than his stance on Belichick. “Let me tell you how stupid some…
Charlie Weis hated the way Super Bowl LVIII ended. No, the former New England Patriots offensive coordinator didn’t have a problem with the Kansas City Chiefs hoisting the Lombardi Trophy for the third time in five years. Weis had an issue with how the game-winning touchdown at Allegiant Stadium was called. During an appearance last week on SiriusXM radio, Weis took CBS color commentator Tony Romo to task. “There are announcers that I really enjoy listening to. But then there’s announcers where, if I have to listen to them, I’d rather go to the bathroom and throw up,” Weis said,…
Xander Bogaerts’ first season in San Diego was a trying one, as the star-studded Padres underperformed and missed the Major League Baseball playoffs. Bogaerts will be leaned on as the National League West club tries to bounce back in 2024, but the four-time All-Star will be challenged with attempting to be productive in unfamiliar territory. The former Boston Red Sox star is set to move to second base, a position he saw no time at across his first 11 big league seasons. San Diego is handing over shortstop duties to Ha-seong Kim, a fourth-year pro coming off a Gold Glove…
Skip Bayless has never shied away from making his thoughts known that Tom Brady, not Bill Belichick, was the reason for the New England Patriots’ two-decade run of success. Charles Barkley, however, doesn’t see it that way, and called out the talking head during a recent appearance on “The Dan Patrick Show.” “Let me tell you how stupid some of these guys are on television. You know how much I hate Skip Bayless. I hate him with every fiber. Sometimes he makes me want to gain weight back so I can hate him with even more weight,” Barkley said. “He…
Once it was announced that Jerod Mayo would succeed Bill Belichick as the head coach of the Patriots, there were many questions about what would happen with the tenured staff, some of whom were assumed to follow the former coach to his new team. Once it was clear Belichick would be sitting out of the 2024 season, it became a question of who would remain on Mayo’s staff and who would be moving elsewhere. One of the early departures was Bill O’Brien, who had only returned to New England as the offensive coordinator for the 2023 season. Although he wasn’t…
It’s commonly accepted that there are three QBs with star potential available in April’s draft— Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, and Jayden Daniels. With the Steelers sitting at the No. 20 pick, they are not in a good position to move up to the top three and snag one of these prospects to be their next franchise QB presumably. It’s been suggested (demanded?) by many that a bold move needs to be made either in free agency or via a trade-up in the draft for the Steelers to get a QB that can pull them out of this “mediocre” level of…
It has been nine years since Liverpool fans last celebrated a Raheem Sterling goal. The England international scored the last of his 23 strikes for the Reds in a 2-0 victory over Newcastle United on April 13, 2015 – 3,232 days ago. It came less than two weeks after his controversial, unsanctioned interview with BBC Sport where he confirmed that he had turned down a new £100,000-a-week contract with the club. Consequently, Kopites had already started to turn lukewarm on the winger, with that strike against the Magpies proving to be his only Liverpool goal following that ill-advised interview. He…
