Steelers 09'

Yinzers,

Well after all the hype of the 2009 NFL draft, this weekend was pretty overall average.Everyone knew the day before that Matt Stafford signed with the Detroit lions for a guaranteed 41.7 million dollars- not bad for being a douche bag. As for the rest of the media rage, all i hear about was how great the Patriots drafted, in fact they are the greatest drafters of all time- wrong, wrong , wrong.

We all know that the Pittsburgh Steelers and their staff know how to work the draft like no other team around. The Steelers went about business as usual this weekend with only one big surprise in the media- Hines Ward decided to renegotiate his contract to end his career with the steelers. 4 years and some money- lets face it he deserves it and he is the best teacher at his position since the great Jerry Rice.

I am glad that the Steelers have learned from the Franco Harris Mistake of years past- who the hell remembers Franco as a SeaHawk-no one.

Well I hope that these guys give us some depth in the future- but remember we have Sepulvada and Mendenhall coming back as well - you might have well given the Steelers 10 picks in this years draft.

Have a great Tuesday!
