Share this: One of the most important Pittsburgh Steelers of all time appears to have an issue with the team’s current head coach. Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw knows a thing or two about Pittsburgh football, having played on four Super Bowl-winning teams while under center for the Steelers. And he also knows what it’s like to play for a legendary coach in Chuck Noll. So what does he think about Mike Tomlin, the Steelers’ current head coach? Apparently not much. “I don’t think he’s a great coach at all,” Bradshaw said on Fox Sports 1’s “Speak For Yourself,” as transcribed by ESPN.com. “He’s a nice coach. To me, I’ve said this, he’s really a great cheerleader guy. I don’t know what he does.

Tom Brady, Patriots ‘Get Back On the Horse’ In Latest Edition Of TB Times
Tom Brady and the New England Patriots had reason to celebrate Sunday, as they clinched their eighth straight AFC East title with a 16-3 win over the Denver Broncos. Brady only threw for 188-yards, but the defense carried the day, forcing three turnovers and sacking quarterback Trevor Siemian four times. As has become custom after every Patriots’ win this season, Tom Brady released the latest edition of the “TB Times” on Facebook after the game. The post shows Brady taming a horse, which is fitting as the Patriots’ offensive line was able to tame the Broncos’ pass rush, something they were unable to do in the 2016 AFC Championship Ga...

Joe McKnight’s Alleged Killer, Ronald Gasser, Arrested On Manslaughter Charge
Share this: It took nearly a week, but it appears justice is being served in the death of Joe McKnight. Ronald Gasser, the man accused of shooting and killing the former NFL running back at an intersection in broad daylight, was arrested Monday on one count of manslaughter, according to Jefferson Parish (La.) Correctional Center records. Gasser allegedly killed McKnight last Thursday in a road rage incident Terrytown, La., reportedly shooting him three times and at one point telling the 28-year-old, “I told you, don’t you f— with me,” according to an eyewitness. Yet Gasser initially wasn’t even charged in the incident despite turning himself over to police and was released later that night after briefly being taken into custody. In another strange twist, Gasser also was
When Bill Belichick First Discovered Julian Edelman’s Exceptional Toughness
by Zack Cox on Thu, Nov 17, 2016 at 8:00AM 2,100 Share this: Julian Edelman probably doesn’t have fond memories of his lone visit to Ohio Stadium. The year was 2007. Edelman, now a wide receiver for the New England Patriots, was a junior quarterback at Kent State at the time, leading the Golden Flashes into the Horseshoe to take on an Ohio State team that was ranked third in the nation. The result was … not pretty. Edelman posted a miserable 6.8 passer rating (4 of 10, 49 yards, one interception) and rushed eight times for negative-7 yards in a 48-3 loss. Pretty brutal performance, right? Not in Bill Belichick’s eyes. The Patriots coach, who used a seventh-round pick on Edelman in 2009, on Wednesday singled out that
USA Men’s Soccer Needs Major Overhaul After Pathetic Loss To Costa Rica
Share this: The United States men’s national team turned in one of the most embarrassing performances in the nation’s history — in any sport — on Tuesday night in a 4-0 loss to Costa Rica. Yes, it was even worse than the men’s hockey team in September’s World Cup of Hockey tournament. Team USA has had its ups and downs under German manager Jurgen Klinsmann, but this loss to a much-inferior opponent in World Cup qualifying is by far the low point. The Americans now are 0-2-0 with zero points in CONCACAF qualifying for the 2018 World Cup, and Tuesday’s defeat was their worst in WC qualifying since 1957. The #USMNT: – Has lost consecutive World Cup qualifiers for 1st time since 2001.– Has worst shutout loss
Patriots Vs. Seahawks Notes: LeGarrette Blount Closing In On Curtis Martin’s Rec…
by Zack Cox on Mon, Nov 14, 2016 at 2:47AM 2,071 Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — No New England Patriots player has rushed for more touchdowns in a season that Curtis Martin, who found the end zone 14 times in 1995 and again in 1996. If LeGarrette Blount keeps up his current pace, that record won’t stand for long. Blount bulldozed his way across the goal line three more times in Sunday night’s 31-24 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, bringing his season touchdown total to 12 with seven games left to play. Barring injury or a precipitous drop-off in production, he easily should surpass Martin’s mark, perhaps as early as next Sunday in San Francisco. How did a running back who’d never scored more than seven touchdowns
Patriots’ Defense Eyeing Uptick In Picks, Offense Looking To Curb Fumbles
by Zack Cox on Tue, Oct 25, 2016 at 5:27PM 2,744 Share this: The New England Patriots’ offense and defense both are focused on turnovers ahead of this Sunday’s rematch with the Buffalo Bills. For the offense, fumbles are a primary point of emphasis. The Patriots lost two in Sunday’s win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and have put the ball on the ground 14 times this season, tying their total from the entire 2015 campaign. “There’s no question that our players and our coaches are emphasizing that,” Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said Tuesday in a conference call with reporters. “We know there is no greater determinant of success than taking care of the football on offense, that’s for sure. Everybody would agree with that.
