Well, it's that time that yinzers, and otherwise normally sane people, look forward to each summer, Steelers' Training Camp. I'm usually the type that ho-hums it, as I still follow the Pirates very closely, but this year, coming off a Super Bowl and with our team essentially in tact, lends to a distinct and exciting buzz.
Camp officially begins as the players report this Friday, but each of our local papers tripped over themselves with coverage in their Sunday editions.
So a few links to satiate you all:
- Similar to what the Jesus spoke about the other day, the Steelers just can't seem to come into a camp, where they defend a Super Bowl that is, without distractions of some sort. Hopefully they learned from the screwups of 2006, but the Trib details here how 2006 was, and how they plan to avoid that from happening again.
The P-G also hopped on the "distraction wagon" with an article here.
- Tomlin plans to address the distractions and tackle them head on. I like that approach. That's better than the "elephant in the room" approach taken last time.
- Here's the Trib's breakdown of all 32 NFL teams and their issues etc heading into camp. The Steelers are on the top of the list, so that you don't have to waste your time looking at other teams if you don't want.
- The P-G blog has dates and times listed for those of you going out to Latrobe. I think that the archery shoot is during the second week and the craft show, with popsicle stick birdhouses, the following week.
While you're out there, put in a word to get this back to locally brewed, ya know, since their damn slogan contains the word "Latrobe" in it.
Otherwise, now's the time to buckle up. Six months of in depth, interesting, needless and pointless, and sometimes just too damn much Steelers' coverage gets underway.
