At least NY could deal […]

Steelers President Art Rooney II met the media in Dallas and tackled a number of questions: (on what he expects to be different about the NFL in five years) "It's hard to predict, but certainly I'm sure that the television world will be different as things change and how people view the games.

Watching Steelers rookie phenom Maurkice Pouncey hobble down the steps of the team's charter plane upon arrival in Dallas Monday, using a walker to aid him, was just plain unsettling.

<p>One of the most popular features at 1250 ESPN was always <em>JagOff of the Week</em>, or <em><span style="color: #000000">&amp;@%?#$</span> of the Week</em>, as some ridiculous suits in Bristol, CT decided to change the name to at one point.

Here are some of my early thoughts on the Steelers-Jets rematch after re-watching their Week 15 meeting: The Jets were on edge coming into the previous matchup.
