ESPN the Mag's " The Body " issue hits newstands tomorrow. I got mine today, and decided to get you your first look at Casey Hampton 's huge nakedness. We may have seen him shirtless before, but this one creeps into scarier territory. This is officially the most of Casey we've seen, even without the head and lower body. And I think it's safe to assume that this is more of our massive nose...

IX- The Carolina Panthers cut defensive tackle Ra'Shon "Sonny" Harris who was the Steelers 6th round draft pick from 2009. Sonny Harris looked very good in his limited playing time in the preseason and many Steeler fans (especially datruth4life ) were disappointed when he was released due to the roster numbers. I can't really find any reports on why Sonny was cut from Carolina other than...

On the heels of yesterday's stunning announcement that Penguins F Bill Guerin will be losing his clothes for ESPN the Magazine, a larger list has come out, featuring a certain rotund Steelers nose tackle. Thanks to the Freak Show for the updated list. When the players from each sport were originally listed, Adrian Peterson was the only NFL name. Casey Hampton will be joining him (not in the same picture,...

Bumped this excellent article from Romain El 82 to the front page for the excellent observations and explanations on some of the Steelers new defensive formations. His explanation is great for the casual football fan who may not know the difference between a 4-3 front and a 3-4 front, but it also goes in depth enough to keep us junkies entertained. (DYM) As you may have noticed from watching the Steelers...

IX- Bo Scaife accused James Harrison of a "cheap shot" after the Thursday Night Game when Harrison dove at Scaife near the sidelines after he caught a short pass. James Harrison's response? "I don't give a damn what he said, If I hit high, I get fined. If I hit him low, I keep money in my pocket." X- BTSC's favorite beat writer Jim Wexell has some notes on this weeks match-up against...

Just as it sounds, here are five aspects of the game I've been thinking about and will be keeping an eye on when the Tennessee Titans and the Pittsburgh Steelers kick off the 2009 season tonight at Heinz Field. How will the defensive line look against a Titans offensive line that is one of the league's better units. Tennessee manhandled the Steelers front-7 last year for the most part and I'll be curious...

IX- Tennessee Titan reciever Nate Washington is currently unsure if he will be able to suit up for Thursday nights season opener against his former team, despite being so excited he is losing sleep . Even if Washington doesn't play he is finding ways to help his current team game plan and scheme against the defending world champion Steelers . It also is looking more and more like Lawrence Timmons will...

This comes from Neena ( on Twitter , too). She said her friend took it yesterday in New Orleans. Man, I didn't even know people were still living there after the hurricane, let alone awesome mini horses. The Steelers are going to cut Casey Hampton. [ OFTOT ] Jeez, this was terrible news to wake up to. My buddy Paneech was at a minor league game and a 4 year old kid got hit with a line drive. He's...

I wanted to hold off commenting on the re-signing of defensive end Brett Keisel until the actual terms of the deal were released. My initial reaction to the news several days ago was one of relative shock. I thought for quite some time that Keisel would be one of the prominent mainstay veterans that wouldn't be retained for the 2010 season and beyond. Instead of Keisel, I thought it was more likely...

Yeah, there’s rumors about the Steelers releasing Casey Hampton, but I don’t see it happening. Hampton may come into camp out of shape, but the bottom line is he’s still a big part of the Steelers 3-4 defense. Here’s a bit more on Hampton in the Tribune Review today: Casey Hampton reacted to Internet [...]

Casey Hampton laughed yesterday and so did coordinator Dick LeBeau over the "report" on the NFL Network that the four-time Pro Bowl nose tackle could be cut or traded before the start of the season.
