Road
To Jacksonville The Steelers
were the hottest team in the National Football League for months.
Whether rookie quarterback Ben Roethlisberger hit his targets
with regularity or missed more than half of the time (as he did
for two of four games in December), the Steelers still won. more.....
Enjoy
It Ben Not to sound like
a senior here, but we feel compelled to give Ben Roethlisberger
some advice. The way things have been going for him this season,
advice may be the last thing he needs. If anything, this kid may
just want to bottle everything around him and leave well enough
alone.
But he can't - and he shouldn't. more.....

NFL Playoff Questions 1.
Can Bill Cowher enter next season with a winning record in the postseason?
There is no minimizing the job Steelers'
coach Bill Cowher has done, herding a rookie quarterback and several
injured players into the playoffs and earning his ninth playoff
berth in a 13-year Steelers' coaching career. But no one will remember
the 2004 regular season if Cowher can't improve on his 7-8 career
record in the playoffs and his inability to win a postseason game
outside of Pittsburgh. more.....
Players
to Watch AFC
New England has won two of the last three
Super Bowls with an almost obsolete running game. Now they have
Corey Dillon. He's missed one game so far this season. The Patriots
lost that game, 34-20, to Pittsburgh. The outcome may be different
if these two teams meet again in, let's say, the AFC Championship
Game.
How do you stop this guy? more.....
Spadafora
Fighting His Own Battle Paul
Spadafora is going to prison. He has admitted to shooting his girlfriend.
I doubt he fears prison. He's probably
seen it as a destination his whole life.
Spadafora is a bad kid from a bad part
of town. His troubles are mostly a matter of public record, although
who knows more.....

Close With PSR By the time
this issue hits the streets, Gateway senior Justin King will be
a Penn State freshman. The 5-11, 186-pound King graduates from high
school in January, six months early, to get a head start on his
career as a Nittany Lion. Probably the nation's top cornerback prospect,
King was named Gatorade Pennsylvania Player of the Year and has
also been selected to play in more.....
1995
VS 2004 Steelers The Steelers
never would have played in Super Bowl XXX without Neil O'Donnell
throwing for 2,970 yards, 17 touchdowns and only seven interceptions
in a total of 440 drop-backs: an absolutely incredible season for
a quarterback who never truly got his due in Pittsburgh. The Steelers
wouldn't be where they are without Ben Roethlisberger, either. Both
O'Donnell and Roethlisberger made big, tough throws at crucial times.

Showdown This Is The Year
"One for the Thumb." I've had the t-shirt
since I was still wearing a large. Of course, that's how long the
Steelers have been looking for that fifth Super Bowl ring. I say,
this is the year they get it.more.....

Chance 'Hounds This Is The
Year
Pittsburgh professional soccer history
is littered with the bones of many teams that thought they could
bring the world's game to town and make it popular. Outdoor teams
like the Phantoms of the National Professional Soccer League and
the Miners of the American Soccer League. Indoor teams like the
Spirit of the Major Indoor Soccer League and the Stingers more.....
Bonds,
Busts, And Big Ben There
have been many Super Bowl busts, but 2004 featured the very first
Super Bowl breast. It was Janet Jackson's contribution to our national
holiday, and the repercussions rattled for months. But the Super
Snafu was only the beginning of a memorable year. So, as we welcome
2005, let's look back at what helped make 2004 a year to remember.
