The Non-news

It is a damn good thing for the press that I am an ardent supporter of a free press. If I were not, being as incensed and livid at what passes for a “press” in this country as I am right now, I would probably be calling for their regulation to ensure that they actually cover things that are really news in their so called newscasts. As many of you know, although many of you may not care, Sunday is the NFL Championship. This event is either referred to as the Super Bowl (if you do not fear that the NFL will sue you for daring to use the name) or “The Big Game” (if you do fear that the NFL will sue you for daring to use the name). The contest will pit the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Arizona Cardinals and is the focus of a great deal of coverage here in my home city of Pittsburgh.

There does however get to be a point where the “news coverage” of the Super Bowl (yes, it is true, I do not fear the NFL), the teams, the players and the events surrounding

Detroit Lions Tickets And Seating Chart

If you’re a fan of the Detroit Lions you may already know that many seasons for this industrious team are marked by challenges, obstacles and hurdles to overcome. One thing that’s true about Detroit Lions fans, however, is that they understand all of the problems that their team faces and no matter what, the fans continue to support their team through the good, the bad and the indifferent times. Proof of their support comes often, such as the start of the season in weeks one and two when the Detroit Lions loss to the New Orleans saints (27-45) and the Minnesota Vikings (13-27).

A win over the Chicago Bears (48-24) was peppered in between and followed by a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers (20-28) and a shutout by the Green Bay Packers (0-26). The losing streak continued but not for lack of effort. The Detroit Lions gave a valiant attempt against the Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings before turning the tables around and winning a game against the

LeBron James will not sign with Pittsburgh Steelers in 2010

LeBron James has stated that he wants to play for a title contender next year, and will sign with the team that he feels gives him the best chance to do that. Consider the Steelers out of the sweepstakes, after they were embarrassed in Cleveland last night by the 1-12 Browns. This win was a huge lift for a Browns franchise who had lost 12 straight games to the Steelers, (7 years of losing) and 10 in a row at home. No one expected the Browns to win this game, and the Steelers needed to win badly to keep their slim playoff chances alive. The defending Super Bowl Champions looked confused by the stifling Browns defense, led by Rob Ryan. The Browns did not even disguise their blitzes in this game, and still managed to sack Ben Worthlessberger 8 times. The Browns rushed for 171 yards and only needed the 13 points they scored in the first half to secure the win.

Not that LeBron would have played for the Steelers anyways, but this will definitely guarantee them

Dallas Cowboys Tickets- Cowboys Lose One Jones, Add Back Another

There has been good news and bad news coming for the Dallas Cowboys as of late. During week 11, they added back quarterback Tony Romo. Soon after, they got the news that suspended cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones would be reinstated for the NFL and able to play for the Cowboys for the final games of the season. It can’t all be rosy for the Cowboys, however, and that was proven when the Cowboys had to put rookie Felix Jones on injured reserve. After a stellar start, the Cowboys have had a rough middle of the season and are currently trying to turn their 6-4 record into a playoff berth. With top players back, that might just be a possibility.

Pacman Jones was placed on suspension after an alcohol-fueled scuffle between Jones and his assigned body guard at a hotel in Dallas on October 7. Someone on the hotel staff phoned police but no arrests were made. The reason that the NFL was so quick to suspend Jones even without an arrest is Jones’s past exploits

Pittsburgh Steelers Merchandise Marketing

The Pittsburgh Steelers have long been a franchise associated with winning. The numerous championsips and six Super Bowl wins is just a testament to the dedication of the Pittsburgh Steelers players. The millions of dollars spent on Pittsburgh Steelers merchandise is just a drop in the bucket in the world of sports merchandise sales. The more money a team brings in off of sales allows them to put more money back into the organization. This allows a team to buy better things in order to further their success. They will be able to spend more money on practice gear, stadium maintenence, and they will have a bigger budget for trades and a they will most likely be able to acquire better free agents to add to the Pittsburgh Steelers franchise.

This is not acquired easily though. The world of sports apparel sales is a very competitive one. Every team manufactures their own merchandise and is hoping to make the absolute most money they possibly can in order to
