Steelers Select Tony Hills

In the 4th Round, the Steelers swapped picks with the New York Giants, moving down from #123 to #130 to select OT Tony Hills from Texas.

Former Longhorn Limas Sweed should feel at home, now.

Big boy if 6-5, 309 pounds and was moved from TE (yes, tight end), to OT when he got to Texas.

Only took 4 rounds to get that O-Line help.

Steelers Select Limas Sweed

In the 2nd Round, Pittsburgh drafted a decent sized receiver in Texas' Limas Sweed.

ESPN lists him at 6 foot 5, 219 pounds while the draft tracker has him at only6 foot 3 (and 7/8) and 215 pounds.

Either way...Big Ben, you got your wish.

Joey Porter Hates Bengals

i dont care that hes no longer a steeler. joey porter rules. his trash-talking, ferocious play, getting shot in the asscheek, and punching levi jones in the face makes him, as well as the nfl, more entertaining. i have no problem that porter, a fan favorite, will now play his football in miami. joey seems to be the type of player that respects nfl rivalries, and i dont think he would ever go to the browns, bengals, ravens, etc. unleashing hell on levi jones in a neutral site goes to prove that.

texas lost. i didnt really jump on the durant-bandwagon. i actually had them losing in the first round. its gotta be tough for longhorns fans, knowing that they will never again see kevin durant play in college. he is a freak. i love watching him play, but the inexperince of both durant, although he had 30 points, and the longhorns ended up costing them a meaningful march run. that, and having rick barnes as a coach.

and everyone is still buzzing over jarkko ruutu. why not? its jarkko ruutu!

finally, does anyone wonder why, although dj gallo has had some good material here and there for espn.com's page 2, sports pickle sucks? that site makes me mad.
