I write a post about how news is already slow right now, and shortly thereafter the team goes on a…a…a doing-something spree. Let’s skip the gristle and get down to the bone:
1) Steeler assistant sends rude, crude and sexual joke to colleagues. Steelers o-line coach Larry Z. “accidentally” forwards it on further — including to His Highness, league commish Roger Goodell. This comes, of course, on the heels of Goodell’s new league conduct policy, which specifically singles out things of a sexual nature, and makes most things short of playing on Sunday and shaving twice a week a violation of league rules, regardless of whether they violate any actual laws. I’d imagine that would include a certain pair of Redskins publicly stating their support for Michael Vick and his band of traveling KillerMutts. No one expects the two assistants to be punished, but I still think Rog should rub their faces against the screen and say, “No!” Of course, that may have the complete opposite of the desired effect.
One thing worth mentioning: this story was broken by ProFootballTalk.com. They are now officially 2-for-17,331 for accurate reporting. Congrats guys, you just doubled your success level! Bear in mind, this is the same site that runs the Turd Watch and has the Steelers in the top 5 turd-producers a la Richard Siegler, even though the team cut ties with the player prior to his arrest (and, no doubt, because of the warrant). Needless to say, they rank one spot below the third cousin to the Prince of Wales’ chef’s girlfriend on my list of valued NFL news sources.
2) Alan Faneca skips more voluntary workouts. I don’t know how this qualifies as news at this point, considering he said he wouldn’t be there — and the fact that we, the media, have already beat this story to death several times over. If this story was a cat, it would be clinging desperately to life number nine at this point.
3) The Steelers have released Chris Gardocki. File this one under “whoa! Never saw that coming!” You’ll find it in the Sarcasm & Irony Department.
4) Did you hear the Steelers are moving to a new home city? The team will be dropping anchor in Dallas come January 2011 in that ginormous new stadium being built to house the Dallas Cowboys. Of course, after they win the Super Bowl they’re coming back to the ‘Burgh.
Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Direct link deleted due to content; replaced with site link
Ed. Note: While I appreciate the comments and links, I do try to keep this remotely family friendly. I don’t edit for mild language, but I will remove sexual content. I have, however, preserved the link to the site’s main page.

You know, I had a link to this site from 12 Seahawks Street. I was happy to share an angle on this topic by way of a link back, but it looks like you deleted it. Should I take down the link to your site?
