75TH DRAFT DAY 2010!



It's "Draft Day" and today is one of 3 days. I LOVE this time of year and it gets me eager and excited anticipating the upcoming football season! Call me crazy but I am an advid FOOTBALL lover, follower, and fan!

This time around however is a little bittersweet as in the wake of ALL the drama surrounding Ben Roethlisberger's potential legal issues and in fact suspension as well as the abrupt departure of Mr. MVP, Santonio Holmes, this should be an eye opener. We JUST signed Leftwich and Batch back onto the roster after having both bee released by us. Some people JUMP THE GUN and immediately assume that there is talk of a "trade" of Ben to another team in light of his 6 game suspension for violating the NFL's Personal Code of Conduct (cough cough BULLSHIT!) NOT GOING TO HAPPEN SO TO THOSE PEOPLE SAYING, AND THIS INCLUDES YOU SO-CALLED LONGTIME STEELER FANS, SHUT THE FUCK UP! He is our leader and he WILL get us #7. We just need a bigger line to allow him to do what ONLY he can! DELIVER us another ring! REMEMBER, the day we drafted BIG BEN is the day we sang, "STAIRWAY TO SEVEN!"


We wound up with a Maurkice Pouncey and a few other great guys, brought back some veterans (B. McFadden, L.Foote, Batch & Leftwich) and some undrafted rookies as well. All in all, a decent draft!

I must admit, I wanted to draft Kyle Wilson a.k.a. Troy Polamalu mini-me BUT it's all good!

I hope everyone enjoyed the draft! I sure did--oh and I liked the NFL one too! HAHAHA!
