BTSC Steelers Daily Six Pack- No April Fool's Joke Edition

PrintIX- The Steelers first round draft pick Rashard Mendenhall is fully recovered from his shoulder injury he suffered at the hands of Ray Lewis last season. This article from steelers.com seems to be a very positive sign that Mendenhall is recovered and ready to be an impact player for the Steelers next season.
X- The Steelers hosted their first visit to a player that is not a resident of the Pittsburgh area on Tuesday. Mike Thomas, wide receiver from the Arizona Wildcats met with coaches and front office staff yesterday. Thomas ran the 4th fastest 40 time at the combine in February and was an above average kick and punt returner for the Wildcats last season, he is expected to be a mid round draft pick. Picking Thomas would certainly break the Steelers tradition from the last two years of finding the slowest guy on the roster and having him run five yards into a wall of defenders on kick returns.
XIII- Sitting in my office today I wondered where April Fools Day originated and since it's a dry news day on the Steelers front I figured I would let Fox News tell you where the origins of April Fools day come from.
XIV- Dante Stallworth of the Cleveland Browns will be appearing in court in tomorrow to face DUI Manslaughter charges. Nothing funny or amusing about this story as Stallworth has made a grave mistake that will more than likely cost him what remained of his career.
XL- Buc's Dugout has posted their predictions for the upcoming 2009 Major League Baseball season. Sadly not much has changed as he still foresees the Pirates sitting in the basement with a losing season for the 17th straight season. Such a sad time for fans of what once was one of the great franchises in baseball.
XLIII- From the guys at Benstonium.

What did I say about
It's true what they say...Even the NFL's Big Wigs hate the Steelers. On the plus side, I can now tell my future grand kids about Hines Ward and how the NFL made rules because of him. Roger Goodell, you make me sick.

I don't care if he's 5'8" he could be perfect for our slot position
Primarily as a 4th receiver.

I could give a crap about Stallworth’s career. MFer is a scumbag and is going to jail (if indeed he is guilty, which by the way, he is).
Don't worry about the haters. Haters only hate.
Here's the part I don't understand...
The guy is in the middle of the road and Stallworth flashes his lights at him instead of swerving? Isn’t it 10X more difficult to reach for your turn signal and flick your hi-beams than it is to turn the steering wheel? Maybe he swerved too, but the “flashed my lights at the dude” argument would not be the one I had chambered when the cops showed up.

Abraham in the Bible....
he was 100 and his wife gave him a young girl about 70 years his junior. Ok….maybe that took intervention. But, I see really old people that have siblings that are in elementary. It’s crazy. I saw a 55 year old that had a 10 year old brother. Dude said his dad is 81. Pops can’t take care of a 10 year old so he takes care of him.

I'm surprised
you didn’t ask me why the mother didn’t take care of the kid. It’s because the mother was the older son’s ex-girlfriend who became a druggy that slept with his dad to get back at him for sleeping with her sister. She died from a drug overdose. I thought that would be a little too much to swallow as a whole so I left that part out.

that was closer to what I expected.

When you counsel
children/teens with serious problems and adults about their marriages you hear some really jacked up stuff. Truth really is stranger than fiction. Some of this stuff, if you put it in a movie people would say it’s corny because that would never happen. I know, because when I hear it my first response is “ok what drugs are you doing and how did you think that up?”
By the way I’m not a licensed counselor (just a volunteer in my free time) but I get the same results as the ones that are.

I was just talking about the image of him using the product
you guys took this further then I expected.
Well who would want to
imagine anyone using it? Never mind. Don’t want to open a can of worms. No pun intended.
