Mason Cole said Kenny Pickett called the run play on third and goal when Benny Snell scored. Cole added, “To see that confidence … it’s big. It really shows who he is as a leader.”
#Steelers
guard Kevin Dotson received death threats for committing multiple penalties, including a holding call on the play where Kenny Pickett was injured. “I’ve been a fan my whole life, but I never felt like I had the right to tell somebody that they should die.”
Chadwick Boseman, the actor who gave a wonderful performance as Jackie Robinson in “42”, passed away on Jackie Robinson Day. This is devastating.

Mike Tomlin: “We had a chance to be part of Steeler history tonight. We don’t take that lightly. We’re just so appreciative of the ground that’s been laid by those that have come before us.”
#Steelers
If Evgeni Malkin signs somewhere else, I’m gonna need convincing that Hextall isn’t an undercover agent sent from Philly with a license to kill the Penguins.
Finally, T.J. Watt was asked if J.J. Watt might come out of retirement and try to team up with his brothers in Pittsburgh, and he said: "You'll have to ask him that."
Najee Harris, who is taking this loss pretty hard: “We’ve gotta keep our head up. It’s rough right now. We lack a lot of stuff. We lack a lot of experience. We lack a lot of discipline, accountability. We lack a lot.”
Wow. Went back and watched what happened with Heyward. Ronnie Staley literally grabbed and pulled Heyward on top of him, causing Heyward to contact the official right next to them. A weak, weak call by the officials.
The
#Steelers
starting QB usually speaks on Wednesdays. Kenny Pickett is in concussion protocol, and players in protocol can’t speak with the media. However, Mitch Trubisky isn’t speaking with the media today. That might tell you who the Steelers expect to start Sunday.
Kenny Pickett on his relationship with former Pitt teammate Damar Hamlin: “He’s an unbelievable person. He does so much for the community. A guy from Pittsburgh, stayed home, could have went anywhere he wanted to… Just an all-around great person, great family.”
Najee Harris wasn’t about to suggest anything about tanking for draft picks. These guys want to win, playoffs or not.
“If we don’t make the playoffs, I can honestly say we played our best every game and not try to lose. That’s just not us. … Nobody ever talks about that.”
Kenny Pickett on his growing relationship with
#Steelers
OC Matt Canada: “He’s very open to suggestions that we have as players, as staff. It’s a collective effort. It’s definitely cool to have an OC that’s open to that and not just close-minded.”

I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining
@DKPghSports
to cover the Steelers and Pirates, effective June 1! Beyond excited for this new opportunity!
#HereWeGo
And people had the audacity to try and tell me the Rangers were the worst team in baseball coming into the season.
I mean, how — HOW?! There were two outs.....
Remember the time when Adolis García THREW a piss missile right on the freaking money?
Yet, he’s not a Gold Glove finalist — all because he played two different positions at an elite level.
#StraightUpTX
So,
@ohthatsNajee22
was asked last night about the interactions he had with Ravens fans after scoring the
#Steelers
game-winning touchdown, and he responded, “Did you see the part where I grabbed the flag?”
Well, here it is:
Here’s something to brighten your Monday: the time when Tim McCarver mentioned Mitch Moreland’s power right before he took Chris Carpenter deep in Game 5 of the 2011 World Series.

I have a new & VERY EXCITING opportunity to announce in the coming days. Much love to all of you.

Ben Roethlisberger has seldom been shy to say something that will ruffle some feathers, but

fans will likely appreciate the former quarterback saying Bob Nutting needs to spend money in order to win.

Source confirms the

Here's the latest and how Story might fit in Texas after the signings of Corey Seager and Marcus Semien:

Cam Heyward on trying to preserve the streak of non-losing seasons under Mike Tomlin: “It’s a streak you look at after the season. We’re trying to win every damn game.”
Mike Tomlin said this morning that the
#Steelers
will add to the safety position via free agency or the draft. Also asked what made Damontae Kazee a priority in free agency:
Adolis García walks it off yet again. Rangers sweep the Astros.
#StraightUpTX
I mean, it's only fitting for García to walk it off with The Weeknd he had.
Minutes into the lockout, Rob Manfred closed his “letter to baseball fans” with the statement below. Then MLB sat silent for 6 weeks. Now, after *limited* negotiations, they put the MLBPA in a lose-lose situation.
This is why people say, “Put people who love baseball in charge”
It's long been suspected, but
#Rangers
GM Chris Young confirmed today the club still plans to pursue starting pitching and a preferably a corner outfielder via trade and/or free agency.
I’m hearing—even after spending $561 million—the
#Rangers
are still not done. Starting pitching & OF are still areas they’d like to improve. Clayton Kershaw is still someone they’re interested in.
However, I don’t expect another signing before the lockout begins on Thursday.
Matt Canada on Germaine Pratt’s claim that the Bengals knew what the
#Steelers
offense was going to do in the second half: “I think it’s good for you guys to be able to talk about.”
Jaylen Warren didn’t know the
#Steelers
racked up 198 yards on the ground tonight. He and his jet sweeps were responsible for 76 of them.
Here’s some of my conversation with him:
"I'm still in a Ranger uniform, and I want to do it in a Ranger uniform."
All-Star slugger Joey Gallo is happy to be doing the Home Run Derby as a member of the
#Rangers
.
#StraightUpTX
The Texas
#Rangers
and Choctaw Casinos & Resorts have announced a multi-year deal for the naming rights to Globe Life Park.
The former home of the Rangers will now be known as Choctaw Stadium.
#StraightUpTX
If the
#Steelers
truly had a first round grade on Minkah Fitzpatrick, trading a first round pick for a position of need makes perfect sense. Additionally, you’re actually getting someone who’s proven they can play in the NFL. There should be no hesitation.
