BTSC Steelers Daily Six Pack- Shaun Rodgers is a Girl Edition

by Frank Mineo (DYMS) on Feb 26, 2009 1:16 PM EST

IX- One for the other Thumb has a great flashback piece on Ben Rothelisberger from his freshman year of college. The picture in the article shows that he apparently weighed 115 pounds his freshman year of college.

X- The Tribune Review is reporting that Kevin Colbert and the Steelers will not be big players in Free Agency this season, and their also not planning on releasing any veterans like Larry Foote. The end of the article reinforces some of the problems the front office is having with the negotiation of James Harrison's contract.

XIII- Yahoo's Shutdown corner has some more AFC North news about Brown's Defensive Tackle Shaun Rogers. According to various reports, Shaun Rogers is a big sad mess because Head Coach Eric Managini failed to introduce himself when the two were at the same event. When did the Cleveland Browns turn into an all girl's middle school?

XIV- Santonio Holmes is definitely not getting high today.

XL- One of the top Steelers beat writers Ed Bouchette takes some time out to predict what will happen with the Steeler's Free Agents. He also gives a great explanation of how restricted free agency (RFA) works and how it will apply to our RFA's like Willie Colon and Anthony Smith. According to his article is looks very likely that Colon will be back at Right Tackle for the Steelers in 2009, or we will be receiving a first round draft pick from whatever team signs him.

XLIII- Those of you outside of Pittsburgh including me don't get a chance to listen to Steelers coverage on the Radio. Stillers 365 seem to do a good job going over the news and notes of the day. Yesterday they spent a segment talking about the possibilities of landing Jeff Saturday. If you have a chance, listen here.

Pittsburgh Radio

Saw your line about not being able to listen to Steelers Radio coverage. Try this link:

Where it says ESPN Radio (National) scroll down to Pittsburgh. That’s how I get to it at work. Hopefully you have a chance to use it. Nice to have a little taste of the ’Burgh in upstate New York!

Don’t know if it’s quite what you were looking for but it’s nice to have.

Looks like somebody already screwed Mangini

Don't let that picture of Shaun Rogers fool you

As much as he doesn’t look like a physical specimen in tht picture, he can dunk without a running start. Also, I now understand why Braylon drops everything, he’s got hands like a teenage girl.

Let's get the Texans a better fight song.

Ed Bouchette

He is a respectable journalist and some of his articles I like, but sometimes he just seems to be a pessimist which I guess is good because you never get let down. For example he predicted the Ravens would beat the steelers in the AFCCG. It was kinda like whose side are you on? I know he probably just tries to be a realist but I for one don’t want to see McFadden go or Willie Colon back with the team. Maybe its my bias working here but I won’t believe it until it happens.

i didn't remember him picking the rat-birds...

hmmm…

It seems to me that he is very well informed and has a good line to information inside the team, but doesn’t spout off a lot and that is probably why he is able to get a decent ammount of trust from the team.
