1. I wish we had a Links library in BTSC, where fans could find great Steelers related sites. This is a very interesting site: http://www.artrooneyjr.com/

2. Does anyone know how many times a year Big Ben donates police and fire fighters for care of dogs?

First I thought that $8000 is not so much money for him, but then I realized that at least he's not spending this money on his flower planters as Tom Brady :-)

That is a very good point

I found this site last year during the dog days of summer, by going through the links at SI.com.

It has quenched most of my thirst for Steelers info, but for someone who needs more, it would be nice to offer that up.

Personnally I think DYMS’ 6-packs give me the extra links that I need for the most relavent Steelers info from around the net, it’s like he does the work for me.

"Damnit mom! You almost ran over Greg Lloyd!"

at an autograph signing back in 95. He walked out in front of our minivan, and my mom almost hit him. He apologized.

As far as the money Ben donates, I don’t think he has a specific dollar amount, but I can remember at least one other time recently that he has donated money to police/fire companies.

Here are some additional links on his foundation, but no real tracking on the dollar amount donated.

I wish that you could see how many new comments there were on Main Page articles when inside an article like you can fanposts. It’s annoying to have to load the main page and scroll through them all to get to see where new posts have been made.

And yes, i am that lazy.
