First Football Post

As I said, I will post about some other things besides current events, on occasion. One of those things is football. My favorite team is none other than 2005 Super Bowl Champions, Pittsburgh Steelers. For those who may have missed it. The Steelers and head coach Bill Cowher are no longer working on a contract extension. Hopefully Cowher will still be running the team in 2007, but this adds fuel to speculation he's gonna retire.

Also, this is a bummer. Since Pittsburgh has the opening game, due to the aforementioned Super Bowl, I was hoping for a decent show from the NFL. It looks like I am to be disappointed.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs will headline the NFL Opening Kickoff concert on South Beach Sept. 7, just before the league's regular season begins that night when the Miami Dolphins visit the reigning Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers.

Diddy, a three-time Grammy winner, will be joined by Cassie, Tego Calderon, DJ Riz and others during the event, which formally opens the NFL's "One Game. One Dream." program that will run through Super Bowl XLI in Miami on Feb. 4.

Portions of the concert will air on NBC's "NFL Opening Kickoff 2006" special leading into the Dolphins-Steelers game that night. That show will also air performances from Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, where Rascal Flatts will perform and Martina McBride will sing the national anthem.

Blech.
