Golic this morning picked the Steelers to go to the Superbowl this year, losing to Dallas.

Greeny has Jax losing to Minni.

I'm with Golic, schedule notwithstanding, but I'd like us in the sb against Dallas.  Hey, if we make it there we will have EARNED IT! Plus, we have a lot of players with SB experience, Cowpokes have what one playoff win in 12 years now?

Season kicks off manana, can-not-wait.  Best time of the year next to playoffs.

Go Steelers!!!!!!!

"Holmes is ESPN.com's pick as the breakout player in the AFC North for the 2008 season."

Steelers' Holmes aims for his first 1,000-yard season

How sweet it would be to see Ben and Santonio hooking up for 1200 + yards this year, and for years to come.  

"I want to be the guy that's going to make every catch and finish every play -- whether that's being the short passes or stretching the field on the deep balls." - Santonio Holmes

You gotta love it.

Go Santonio, Go Steelers!!!

Taylor always had the physical skills. He ran a 4.24 in the 40-yard dash this summer while training at Walt Disney's Wide World of Sports - a time that would make him the fastest player on the Steelers, not to mention one of the fastest in the NFL.

To put Taylor's performance in perspective, Tennessee rookie Chris Johnson clocked a 4.24 at the NFL Scouting Combine in February, the fastest time in combine history.

Now-retired Deion Sanders ran a 4.27 at the combine. Woodson was right behind Sanders at 4.28.

  Wow, I knew Taylor was talented, but....Wow.  

And apparently he did it with zero warmup.    Steelers' Taylor eyes Hawaii

We are excited about this year. We have a good team. We’re excited about where we are going and about this team. - Brett Keisel

We are working extremely hard to make everyone proud and to pursue a championship for the Steelers nation. I thank everyone for their excitement and hope we keep everyone on the edge of our seats. We look forward to a great season in 08. - Coach Tomlin

HERE'S TO A GREAT 2008 SEASON, GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!

FWP:

Last yeat was last year. I'm getting better in different aspects of the game. Now, I feel real comfortable sitting back there (blocking) and taking a man head-on.

"I feel real comfortable running the ball; trying to run through (somebody) to pick up more yards. I feel more comfortable with everything."

Wow, Willie Parker "more comfortable with everything".  Should be something to behold with Mendenhall joining the backfield.

Can't wait  for tonights game as it can mean only one thing: our next game is Game 1 of the 2008 regular season.  Yeaahhhh baby, bring it on!!!!!!!!

Here's to a healthy game tonight.  Enjoy everybody!
