Today is a dark day for the [intlink id=”23″ type=”category”]Pittsburgh Steelers[/intlink]. Earlier this morning, wide receiver Limas Sweed was cut by the Black and Gold. I’ll give you a moment to process this shocking news.
For a guy fighting for his career, spending the majority of training camp on the sideline isn’t the best plan of attack. You can’t make the club from the tub.
Poor [intlink id=”81″ type=”category”]Limas Sweed[/intlink]. When the history of the Steelers is written, his name will be near the top of any list detailing the biggest draft busts in history. Even a first round disaster like Troy Edwards lasted seven mediocre seasons before calling it a career. Limas never got out of the blocks.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have holes. Okay, maybe not huge Parkway West size pot holes but they are dangerously thin in terms of depth. Unfortunately, nobody seems interested in becoming a Steeler.
Former Cincinnati Bengals tight end Reggie Kelly came in for a visit yesterday. And then left just as quickly as he came. Over the weekend, wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery also popped in for a quick hello. He, too, rejoined the ranks of the unemployed shortly thereafter.
Perhaps both players failed to impress the coaching staff. If that’s the case, then in [intlink id=”23″ type=”category”]Kevin Colbert [/intlink]We Trust. However, looking at the Steeler’s depth chart, it sure looks like either man would make a nice addition. Neither are bold faced superstars but at this point beggars can’t be choosers.

A month ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers probably thought the team was pretty much set at wide receiver. Now it seems like there are nothing but question marks everywhere you look. [intlink id=”34″ type=”category”]Hines Ward[/intlink] has finally fox-trotted back to practice but he’s coming off his worst season since his rookie year. And who knows how much gas learning the jitterbug took out of his tank. [intlink id=”81″ type=”category”] Emmanuel Sanders[/intlink] is still hobbling around after having both his feet operated on. Antonio Brown made some big catches in the playoffs but caught only 18 balls during the regular season.
Who will step up if one or more of those players falter? Who will be the unexpected hero?

Plaxico Burress decided to return to the city where he experienced his greatest success. Of course, it’s also the city where he almost blew his dick off at a nightclub, then spent two years in the clink as penance for his abject stupidity. As the New York Jets discovered, three million dollars goes a long way toward erasing bad memories.
With one stroke of the pen, Plax went from the chain gang to Gang Green. You gotta hand it to Rex Ryan. He assembled one of the NFL’s finest collections of thugs and criminals over in Baltimore and is now doing his damnedest to remake his Jets in their image. Burress will team with another Steeler cast-off, Santonio Holmes, in trying to make Mark Sanchez look like a legitimate championship caliber quarterback.

The Pittsburgh Steelers wooing of free agent ex-con Plaxico Burress kicked in to high gear earlier today. Evidently, he’s a really cheap date. First, Burress joined Mike Tomlin, Kevin Colbert, and Art Rooney for breakfast at the Saint Vincent College cafeteria. I bet they don’t even serve Mimosas.
A short time later, he joined Ben Roethlisberger, James Farrior and Hines Ward at the cool kids table for the team’s afternoon lunch. No doubt Big Ben repeated his oft-stated desire to have a big target for the passing game while Limas Sweed rocked back and forth weeping softly in the corner.
