Steelers Facing The Truth About Omar Khan: 'More Of A Cold And Calculating GM'
Pittsburgh Steelers General Manager Omar Khan has been with the franchise's front office in one capacity or another since 2001. That's why when Kevin Colbert retired in 2022, and Khan was promoted, most fans thought we would get the same type of general manager. Nothing could have been further from the truth. While Khan continues to respect and uphold the fundamental traditions that have made the Steelers one of the most revered organizations in the NFL, he has shown that he is not Colbert part two. Khan has shown himself to be a bit more aggressive than Colbert. He brought on...

Donald Trump's Assassination Attempt Is Drawing Comparisons To A 1992 Movie – And Its Star Isn't Happy
On Saturday July 13, 2024, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks borrowed his father's AR-15 style rifle and parked himself atop a building near the Butler Farm Show Grounds in Butler, Pennsylvania, from which he fired eight bullets in the direction of former President Donald J. Trump. This being 2024, we can reasonably conclude from the myriad of cameras present — television, phone, and whatnot — that this happened. We also know for a fact that Trump's ear was bloodied by something (possibly a bullet, shrapnel, or glass), that three other people were struck by Crooks' bullets, and that one of these bullets killed 50-year-old Corey Comparatore. Finally, it is an incontrovertible fact that Thomas Matthew Crooks is dead.

Hall Of Fame WR Terrell Owens Believes Todd Haley Only Got Jobs In The NFL ‘Because Of His Dad’
Fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers had their issues with Todd Haley when he was the team’s offensive coordinator, but since then, they’ve realized just how much worse it can get. Haley wasn’t perfect, and he had a heap of talent to work with, but he did give the Steelers some of the best years of Ben Roethlisberger’s career. Since Haley and the Steelers parted ways, Pittsburgh’s offense has been in the gutter, being unwatchable at times. However, it seems one Hall of Fame wide receiver still doesn’t believe Haley was talented enough to deserve the jobs he had.
