On a day in which Steeler Nation continues to sit on pins and needles, methodically hitting the refresh button at Google News, and reading yet another scathing, albeit anonymous and uncredited account of Big Ben's crude and barbaric exploits, the front office guys again direct attention back up north by inking another former standout (and PittsburghFan favorite) Larry Foote. The Foote deal was labeled as depth, but methinks that #50 is going to see plenty of field duty this season.
With Foote's signing, the Steelers have now brought in five unrestricted free agents (most likely an all time team record), while retaining the services of vets Ryan Clark, Jeff Reed, and Casey Hampton. With a first round tender to oft criticized tackle and Ben-a-polooza member, Willie Colon, and a fourth round tender to punter extraordinaire, Daniel Sepulveda, the team now appears to have made all of it's noteworthy moves prior to the April draft. I suppose that means all team news now belongs to Milledgeville, Georgia.
QUICK HITTERS:- Thru the help of that news generator, aka, the internet, we now have learned that Ben is not only a rapist, but a racist, a sexist, an alcoholic, and above all else, a poor tipper! Oh, and he is despised by his team, and nearly the entire city. Certainly, within the next few days, some teen girl somewhere will link Ben to Al Qaeda.
- Was Randle El serious when he said that he will compete for the #3 wideout? Hmmm, did anyone tell him about Mike Wallace?
- With Fast Willie Parker's agent drumming up next to no interest in the former standout, one must consider if a bargain deal can be struck to return the aging thoroughbred to the Heinz Field stable.

Best rumor of the week, McNabb to Pitt for 1st rounder. Second best rumor, Ben to Seattle for 1st rounder.
I figured it was only a matter of time until the McNabb-ulous trade rumors got blended into Benapolooza. I read it twice in the blogosphere today. Damn bloggers!!!!
