Saturday Morning Miscellany

Heinz Field is 10 years old already?  

The Post-Gazette's Blog 'n Gold offers an awesome compendium of 10 years of highlights at Heinz Field, and they have been mostly great years. Kudos to online sports editor Dan Gigler at the Post-Gazette. 

  • Get to "Know Thy Enemy" with Nice Pick, Cowher providing perspective from Nashville.
  • Also, from Nashville, The Music City Miracles blog has a nice report on the Titans at the season's quarter pole.
  • Did you know the Titans have a rookie defensive back who played for the Aliquippa Quips, Pitt Panthers, Edinboro and California University of Pennsylvania? That's not all. Tommie Campbell also worked as a janitor cleaning toilets at Greater Pittsburgh International Airport. The Tennessean tells his story, which is about redemption and making the most of one last chance. It's a good one.
  • Lest we overlook baseball, Bob Smizik offers his report card on Pirates' hitters.
  • Speaking of baseball, Joey Porter's Pit Bulls (that's us) offers a tip 'o the hat to former former Pirates Nyjer Morgan, Don Kelly and Jim Leyland.
  • You might also want to glance at a study in contrasts -- an examination of the relative stability of the offensive lines of the Tennesssee Titans and the Steelers.
