The Steelers win Super Bowls in spurts, spawning generations of worshipers much the way the Yankees have in the '50s, '70s, and '90s.
I know football players are tough, and Jay Cutler, who has type I diabetes, supposedly wanted to continue to play on Sunday. The reaction, possibly prompted by his poor performance in the first half, seems unjustified.
The Pro Bowl has returned to its island home, a place where many players thought it should never left.
The Jets had another fine season, but the 24-19 Steeler loss was a winnable game – even after the disastrous start. A number of issues linger, some of which will impact the team in the future.
Less than two weeks after he used the same obscenity about Tom Brady, Antonio Cromartie took on both sides in the league's unresolved labor talks, saying they "need to get their (expletive) together and get it done."
After nearly two weeks, Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker has finally owned up to his mid-January foot-in-mouth press conference.
Sunday's loss to the Steelers "was probably one of the toughest losses that I've had," said Jets wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery on Tuesday morning with Joe & Evan.
Now that the Jets' season is over and the bluster of the team has been silenced by the Steelers, a breath of athletic fresh air blew through the sports pages with nary a mention over the last couple of weeks.
Everything you've heard about Pittsburgh and its love for the Steelers is true. But since we live in a talk is cheap society, the only way to know for sure is to visit the Steel City and see for yourself.
Rex Ryan has been talking up his team since he took over as head coach two years ago, so why stop now?
The Steelers, equipped with a record six titles, a 14-4 record, the No. 2 AFC seed and a veteran roster on the verge of three championships in the past six seasons, are underdogs for Super Bowl XLV. Really?
It's unanimous. And Tom Brady has outdone even himself. The record-setting Patriots quarterback was the leading vote-getter for The Associated Press 2010 NFL All-Pro Team.
The Jets quarterback said Monday he is "optimistic" he will not need surgery this offseason on his sore right shoulder, but also didn't rule out a procedure.
Coach Rex Ryan understands how the emotion of a season-ending loss can lead to the frustrated comments by Jets receiver Santonio Holmes.
The Steelers' 24-19 win over the Jets in the AFC title game Sunday on CBS had a 28.3 rating and 43 share, the highest since the Jaguars-Patriots matchup in January 1997.
After the Jets' latest disappointing playoff loss, New York fans were left wondering: Who, or what, is to blame?
Maybe Rex Ryan should have made this one personal, too. Too much respect can sometimes be a dangerous thing.
This was not how the season was supposed to end for the Jets. Not in Rex Ryan's mind, at least.
So that's that… the Jets' magical season came to an abrupt conclusion Sunday night in Pittsburgh, as the Steelers handed Gang Green their second consecutive loss in the AFC Championship Game.
Jason Taylor fought back tears as he pondered whether this was the end for him. The 36-year-old Jets linebacker wasn't sure if he might have played for the last time after a 24-19 loss to the Steelers in the AFC championship Game.
Welcome to Big D, Packers and Steelers. Y'all are in for a good ol' time.
With so much blame to pass around, who do you think was the goat in Sunday's Jets loss?
Same old Jets? Depends on your definition. If you mean the Jets aren't in the Super Bowl, you're correct in the most literal sense. If you mean the Jets are still losers, you're rather wrong.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are back in the Super Bowl again — thanks to a few new faces.
Rashard Mendenhall's 1-yard touchdown run on Pittsburgh's nine-minute opening drive gave the Steelers a 7-0 lead after one quarter in the AFC championship game Sunday night at chilly Heinz Field.
