Here we Go steelers, Here We Go!

The Pittsburgh Steelers are back in training camp and getting ready to make a run at repeating as Super Bowl champs. After quarterback Ben Roethlisberger stunned the Steeler nation with a near fatal motorcycle accident and their #1 draft choice, Santonio Holmes was arrested twice before signing with the Steelers and "the Bus" is parked for good, we can only hope that they still have what it takes to win "the Big One". Joey Porter came into camp nursing a sore knee after undergoing surgery. Hines Ward, Super Bowl XL MVP, is working with rookie, Santonio Holmes to bring him up to speed on what's expected when you're a Pittsburgh Steeler. (I hope it takes!) Santonio has a court date in two weeks that could affect the start of the season. The running chores are Willie Parker's to lose and Deuce Staley and Veron Haynes will have to fight it out to see who will replace Jerome Bettis on short yardage situations. There has been some talk as to how long coach Bill Cowher will stay with the Steelers before he retires to his home in North Carolina. Here are some mini videos from this years training camp at St. Vincent college in Latrobe PA you can watch. That's Pittsburgh Steelers news.

Santonio Holmes, T. O. Or No ?

Let's hope the Pittsburgh Steelers don't have another Terrel Owens on their hands with 1st round draft pick, Santonio Holmes. Holmes has gotten into trouble twice after being picked #1 by the Super Bowl XL champion Steelers. His first arrest came in Miami on Memorial Day weekend for disorderly conduct and his 2nd arrest was on June 18th in Columbus, Ohio for domestic violence against Lashae Boone, the mother of one of his three children.

But that's only where the story begins. Apparently,the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger tried to talk to his future wide receiver after his 2nd arrest, but Santonio never called him back. "I called him a bunch of times and left a bunch of messages for him, and he has never called me back, so I don't know how to take it," Roethlisberger said two weeks ago. "The ball is in his court ... " Santonio, that's no way to treat the one who could make you a star. Roethlisberger said he was trying to do what Jerome Bettis did for him when he was dealing with his problems. Let's hope Santonio Holmes brings his apologies to camp and thanks Ben for his support. Get the rest of the story. That's Pittsburgh Steelers news.
