Three Key Pirates for Season’s Second Half
Being .500 isn’t what it used to be. The Pittsburgh Pirates are 48-48 heading into Friday night’s game against the MLB-best Philadelphia Phillies at PNC Park that opens a three-game series and six-game homestand. The Pirates are a .500 team coming out of the four-day All-Star break. They finished the unofficial first half of the season with a 5-1 road trip against the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago White Sox. Not long ago, the deck was stacked against a .500 team at the break reaching the postseason. However, with the advent of the third wild card two years ago and a generally mediocre National...
The album Mac Miller called “the fucking shit”
Late Pittsburgh emcee Mac Miller was a highly aware musician. Even as a young man, he had more musical knowledge than his counterparts and he wasn’t just listening to rap music. From R&B to funk and soul, Miller listened to a range of genres, and these can be heard in a lot of his material.

Steelers' Ryan Clark Believes It's Time For Mike Tomlin To Absolutely Prove 'This Team Can Actually Be A Competitor'
Everyone knows about how the Pittsburgh Steelers have not had a losing season since before Ben Roethlisberger was drafted. Most of that time has been with Mike Tomlin as their head coach, who has been at the helm of the team for the last 17 years and counting. However, winning seasons are not enough for a large part of Steeler Nation, especially since they haven't won a playoff game since the 2016 season. Ryan Clark has been a big fan of Tomlin, especially since he won a Super Bowl while playing for him. However, he also believes that the "no losing season" grace period could...
Steelers Could Trade Three Players for Brandon Aiyuk
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to land a wide receiver, and to this point, Brandon Aiyuk seems to be their top target. With recent reports claiming Las Vegas Raiders' Davante Adams could be on the list as well, it appears to be clear that this team is ready to make a splash.
Where Do Steelers Rank in Offensive Spending?
The Pittsburgh Steelers have the second-least expensive offense in the NFL at $80.6 million, according to Warren Sharp of Sharp Football. Sharp doesn’t detail if his numbers are related to cash or cap. The Cleveland Browns are spending the most on offense, a whopping $191.0 million. Over the last couple of years, the Steelers have had one of the least expensive offenses in the NFL. Not having to pay a franchise quarterback plays a big part in that. That’s why the Browns are leading the league in offensive spending. The $230 million fully guaranteed investment in Deshaun Watson hasn’t panned out thus...

Steelers' Aaron Smith Had A Rare Agreement With AFC North Rival Willie Anderson When It Came To The Pro Bowl
The Pittsburgh Steelers had one of the best defenses in the NFL throughout the 2000s. It led the organization to two Super Bowl titles, with countless years of being strong contenders for the Lombardi Trophy. Many legends played on those defenses, including Troy Polamalu and James Harrison - but those defenses also featured some lesser-known guys. Players like Aaron Smith, who oftentimes was the key to the defense's strong play. Smith is an underrated player when it comes to the entire NFL, but Steelers fans know how impactful he was to the team. Smith often squared off against Willie Anderson, who was an...

Blessed are the Peacemakers
I am writing this hard on the heels of watching footage from Butler, Pennsylvania from the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Probably like you, I have been hungry for accurate information. The footage shows the former President slightly turning his head while speaking, then reacting as a bullet clipped his ear, and then going to the ground while being surrounded by members of the Secret Service. What that footage didn’t show was that one person was killed from a head wound while protectively crouching over members of his family, and two others were critically injured. The person killed was a firefighter and former Fire Chief in his community, and I have subsequently learned he was also a Methodist who attended a sister church in my Annual Conference (that’s denominational speak for a larger grouping of churches based on geography). I’ve also learned that the shooter was a 20-year-old man (a kid to someone as old as me) whose family was as shocked upon learning the news of his involvement as the rest of us.
Steelers Rookie Beanie Bishop Jr.'s Kryptonite Could Be The Reason He Cracks The Final 53: 'It Can Help Him'
The Pittsburgh Steelers' 2024 draft class hasn't seen any game action yet, but it had been largely praised across the league. The organization found value within every selection, while placing a clear focus on the team's needs for the 2024 season. The work didn't stop once the Steelers had their last pick on Day 3, as General Manager Omar Khan and Assistant General Manager Andy Weidl got to work signing undrafted free agents. Players that headline that list are Beanie Bishop Jr., John Rhys Plumlee, and Daijun Edwards. Bishop was an interesting signing, especially because of the Steelers' need at slot cornerback. He will...
