The Steelers season ended weeks ago, but there’s plenty of news coming out of the Steel City. BTSC continues their recap of the past week’s events for our readers. But where they went wrong was asking the one narcissistic writer that would put a bizarre spin on it to do it. So, let’s all take a look at a BAD week in the ‘burgh together.
Monday 2/21
- Kevin Colbert met with the media and discussed a number of topics, nothing turf-shattering though. The most telling thing that caught my attention was the GM’s regret that he didn’t add a veteran offensive lineman to the mix in the 2020 offseason. This is a huge revelation and I doubt that the same mistake will be made in the leadup to the 2022 campaign. Ironically, I experienced the exact opposite when my starter wife added extra dudes to the mix, hastening my free agency.
Kevin Colbert said one of his regrets from the 2020 offseason was not "adding another affordable veteran" to the offensive line mix to "ease the growth of that group."

Tuesday 2/22
- Although I’m risking excommunication by some of the powers that be at BTSC, I have two reasons to bring up the renewed Pittsburgh Maulers first draft pick. It’s a slow Steelers news day and I loved the Maulers as a kid in 1984. I’m already on the knockoff websites looking for a Kyle Lauletta jersey.
Nailed our first pick

Wednesday 2/23
- If Troy Aikman ends up on ESPN with Joe Buck, it would finally bring big names and credibility back to the Monday Night Football booth. Personally, I pine for the days of Giff, Cosell and Dandy Don... but I suppose this will do.
NEWS COLUMN: Troy Aikman is leaving Fox Sports for ESPN and he could bring Joe Buck with him, The Post has learned. https://t.co/XIwmM297db

Thursday 2/24
- Carson Wentz rumors to the Steelers are being floated about. Maybe this pushes the Jimmy G. rumors back a bit.
Friday’s “First Call” starts with a former #Eagles player who thinks the #Steelers may be a good fit for Carson Wentz. Plus: Art Rooney II speaks about two lingering team topics and Pitt's hockey team looks to shine in the ACHA tourney.@TimBenzPGH https://t.co/LkyB5Gp5p6

Friday 2/25
- The new HC and GM of the Tampa Bay Bandits Todd Haley posted a pic of two of his “slim and trim” former Steelers offensive linemen. I’m sure he tried to lure both players to the USFL, but a contract rich with Arby’s Beef ‘N Cheddars probably won’t cut it. Besides the three are obviously not on the same page with the coach looking at a different camera than the players. There’s no truth to the rumor that the former Steelers OC coaxed the two “big men” to accompany him to a redemption trip to Tequilla Cowboy.

Saturday 2/26
- The Steelers announced more names for their GM search. This is the equivalent to going out with my wife to pick out a dress. It may last years and disrupt millions of lives. At least they’re being thorough.
We interviewed the following candidates for our General Manager position this week:
— Pittsburgh Steelers (@steelers) February 26, 2022
• Joe Hortiz (Baltimore Ravens)
• Ran Carthon (San Francisco 49ers)
• Andy Weidl (Philadelphia Eagles)
This was the significant week that was for the Steelers, mixed-in with my black-and-gold loving life. I’m sure next week will be full of Steelers happenings as well, so we’ll have to do this again. Have a great week, but better yet have a BAD one.
