Eli Heidenreich grew up a diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan, understanding it is a public duty for all Pittsburgh natives to represent the black and gold. Now the Navy star running back/wide receiver will actually represent the black and gold as the newest member of the organization. Heidenreich was selected by his hometown Steelers at pick […]
Mike Nicastro: This pick is much more than just a feel good story. It’s not a hand out. Heidenreich is a better prospect than the Steelers fourth round pick, Wetjen, and I candidly thought he’d been long gone by now. He holds the most receiving yards and receiving TDS in Navy history – and can […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, but the league isn’t done adding players ahead of the season.

The 2026 NFL Draft is here, where all the picks that have been traded and earned throughout the year become actual players. That includes compensatory picks, where the league awards teams that lose pricey free agents an extra draft selection in return. One of those picks was awarded to the Steelers in this year’s draft […]
In the 6th round with the 210 overall pick, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected Notre Dame DT Gabe Rubio. Rubio wasn’t invited to the combine, but he made a big impression on the Steelers.

Rubio put up 66 tackles, seven of which were for loss and 14 run stops. He now joins an already loaded defensive line that consists of Cam Heyward, Derrick Harmon, […]
Well, things didn’t go very well for the Brewers yesterday against Paul Skenes. The reigning NL Cy Young struck out seven Brewers, didn’t walk any, and allowed just one single in seven dominant innings of work. Milwaukee couldn’t muster a hit against either of Skenes’ relievers, either, and they were shut out, 6-0, and managed […]

Teddy Blueger is among the most notable pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) centers heading into the offseason. If the Vancouver Canucks do not re-sign and he hits the market, he should generate a good amount of interest as a free agent. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could sign Blueger if he tests free agency this summer. Pittsburgh Penguins Could a reunion between Blueger and the Penguins be in the cards? The Penguins were linked to Blueger leading up to the deadli...
The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected Indiana tight end Riley Nowakowski in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. This came after the Steelers traded out of the No. 161 pick, sending it to the Kansas City Chiefs. The trade sent the Steelers down to pick No. 169 where they selected Nowakowski.

Few players in recent Georgia football history have been by turns as exhilarating and maddening to watch as Daylen Everette. I’m happy for Pittsburgh Steelers fans to witness first hand exactly what I mean now that the Norfolk, Virginia product is headed to the Steel City. Everette projects as something of a developmental prospect, but […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins' season is on the line, and head coach Dan Muse isn't sitting idly by.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have their backs against the wall down 3-0 to the Philadelphia Flyers, and entering Game 4 on Saturday, legend Evgeni Malkin is well aware what's at stake. Malkin's in the final season of his current contract, and with a new sense of direction from Kyle Dubas and company in the front office, and a pending new owner, there's a very good chance the team walks away from Malkin at season's end. Malkin, 39, battled some injury troubles this season, appearing in just 56...
The Philadelphia Flyers have given their entire fan base great news ahead of Game 4 against the Pittsburgh Penguins and we no longer have to be worried. Dan Vladar will be in the crease for his fourth consecutive start despite suffering a minor injury in the middle of Game 3 and sticking it out to finish the game and give the Flyers a 3-0 series lead. Now, they have a big opportunity to complete the S-word that we don’t really want to say just in case anyone believes in jinxes. Lin...
