Super Bowl XL

Wow...Fridays suck. Its almost the weekend, and I'm so looking forward to Saturday.

The Pens don't play til Sunday (on NBC...against the Phlyers), the Pirates held Billy Crystal hitless and Pitt upset Louisville in the Big East Tournament. There's some good happening in our local sports landscape, but its safe to admit that we're in a lull...so let's look back on our Steelers.

If you're feeling nostalgic today (or just want to fritter a BUNCH of time away at work), I've found complete video of Super Bowl XL, broken up into quarters. And yes, the Stones are in video 3, if that's all you care about.

The quality isn't the best, but there's nowhere else to watch Super Bowl XL on the interwebs.

So enjoy.

Steelers Sign QB Zabransky, Immediately Add Hook And Ladder, Statue of Liberty To Playbook

Recently, the Steelers signed free agent QB Jared Zabransky, best known for his role in Boise State's improbable Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma.

During our Super Bowl run, the offense repeatedly kept opposing defenses off balance with trick plays, most notably, Antwaan's pass to Hines in Super Bowl XL. Pittsburgh hasn't really done many trick plays since 'Twaan left. Maybe this signing signals a turning point. Big Ben better watch his back.

But to keep Ben happy, Pittsburgh also signed former Michigan State standout WR Matt Trannon. He's 6 foot 6. Tall enough for ya, Ben?

What Kind of Procedure/Surgery Did Santonio Holmes Have?

New poll time!

Santonio Holmes has not disclosed the background of his "personal" injury. Supposedly, it was some kind of procedure that was not football related.

What does that mean? Time for PSaMP readers to have some fun with Santonio. I'm only giving you 3 options as well as an Other section, so have some fun.

Cosmetic.

With the DBs hitting the way they are in camp, why risk messing up that Michael Jackson-inspired nose? Or, with Rasheed Marshall trying out as a WR/PR, Santonio might go all "face-off" and try to look more like Antwaan Randle El.

New Hands.

"Santonio Holmes is back to receive the punt. The ball is in the air. Santonio catches it and...fumble!"

How many times did we have to hear variations of that last season? Santonio was tired of the dropped balls, so he went out and got hand-replacement surgery. Pretty logical.

Troy Smith Ankle Tattoo.

Chris Simms did it. Why not Santonio? He's a big tOSU guy, and his fresh ankle tat might be too sore to practice.

Other.

You stepped up to the plate with the last poll, so do it again. I'm only giving 3 answers this time around, so make your voice heard here.
