SteelerWatch

About 45 minutes ago, players were scheduled to report to Latrobe for the annual migration of successful sports (read this carefully, Pirates management) back to the city of Pittsburgh. With hockey in the middle of its off-season, the Passion now off on their National Women’s Football Association Championship honeymoon, and the Pirates longing for the early 1990s when they actually managed a winning record, the city is in urgent need of more quality sports. And tomorrow morning, it begins. Coach Tomlin’s “Give me victory, or give me death!” schedule that includes 15 two-a-day practices starts Tuesday and continues for 11 straight days before the players are given a day off — the day before the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio.

After the Passion’s 32-0 thrashing of the Columbus Comets last week, the magnifying glass will be on the Steelers to see if they can continue the city’s football winning streak in the neighboring state that now stands at 12 games since a 2001 loss in Cincinnati in week 17 (@Cleveland 5 times, @Cincy 6 times including 2005 playoffs, @Columbus by the Passion).
