Saturday

-PFW.com picks the brain of various scouts for their assessment of James Harrison: "A classic rags-to-riches story."

-Of concern is that Troy, Santonio and Marvel will all be out of the Bungles game. These injuries have gone from day to day to now over 2 weeks (except for Marvel - whose back flared up a week ago) and is a major concern for the Steelers, who haven't played well for at least 2 weeks now.

-Steve Pederson is back. Wow, didn't see that coming. Pitt hasn't had a lot of success with second go-rounds.

-Tonight: Hockey Night in Canada with the Pens in Toronto OR Backyard Brawl? Which to watch? Consider that the Brawl will be interesting for all of 15 minutes, I say start with the Pens, tune to the Panthers until it's ugly, then back to the Pens. And all along, give thanks for Tivo.

-WVU/Pitt is a rivalry. Yes it is but I've always felt that the media made more of it than it deserved. Growing up a Pitt fan with memories back to the late 70s, I've never liked WVU, but I've never really hated them either. WVU winning the National Championship would not the be the worst thing in the world. Maybe this will change when both are both competing for the Big East title. Being in the same conference and having good teams will spike the intensity.

To me however, it is Penn St. who is and always will be Pitt's rival. I hate Joe Paterno and seeing Penn St. on a football field churns my stomach. Every game they lose is reason for a small celebration and nothing brings greater pleasure than knowing the Pitt beat them 9-0 in the last game played between then two.

-In response to Dr. Z's inane rant that I highlighted yesterday and some apparent brainless Dolphs fans, both Ed Bouchette in his Q&A and Lawrence Timmons himself deny that anything intentional happened in the slop on Monday night.

The real news from those is that Jim Haslett once did intentionally step on Terry Bradshaw's head.

-The real problem with the Pens was their lack of scoring. Now that they've scored 5, 5, and 4 goals in the last 3 games, all wins, isn't it amazing how the issues and questions surrounding their defense and Fleury has faded into the background?
