Does anyone here have any INSIDE information

[squidkid]

on our steelers or any NFL team?

anybody play in the NFL?
anyone have a family member in the NFL?
friend in NFL?
coach or have coached in NFL?
relative that is/has coached in NFL?
friend of a parent of an NFL player?
work in the NFl?
relative or friend work in the NFL?

with all the talk and speculation that happens on this message board(and every other for that matter), is there anyone here that has any actual connection to the steelers or any other NFL team?

ME= my coworker is the step mother to a currect steeler
i have another coworker that is the step brother of a former NFL player

It was very cool when we had Mike Lorello's dad on the board when the former WVU Mountaineer spent a couple of training camps (and possibly practice squads...I forget) with us a few years back.

I have no connections personally, but there is someone on here who claims to have been inside the weight room at the Steeler practice facility (fo wheel!). I would say more, but I don't want anyone accusing me of making ad hominem attacks or straw man arguments.

My Mom routinely runs into Jason Gildon and she sees a bunch of the other Steelers at the gym in the offseason from time to time including, among others, Ziggy and Chris Hoke. This great connection has yielded zero inside information for me.

Was very cool when Lorello's dad was a poster. Jim Wexell also used to post on the old trib forum under a different name.

I went to school/graduated with a front office person who is good friends with someone I grow up with and is like family. The only perk for me is I went to camp in place of my friend last year. My friend gets a few other perks, games and such. It is really cool for my friend, but feels funny asking for anything. So if there is no offer my friend won't ask. I give my friend a hard time about it. No "inside info" ever though.

What players step momma you work with?

Legursky's dad is a regular at my brother-in-law's barber shop. The only inside scoop I've ever gotten was a heads up few years ago that Legs was gonna make the final cut prior to camp closing.

[feltdizz]

I'm good friends with a guy who played with Ty Law and is cool with Revis and Baldwin. No inside scoop though...

[lloydroid]

Yes, but you didn't list my correct option.

[pfelix73]

I know Jeff Blake, Robert Jones, (who are brother-in-laws) and John Jett- all retired now. And a few other former ECU players who play/ played in the NFL who shall remain nameless-lol.. OK, I said enough..

Oops- Forgot- haven't seen him in ages, but I know Scott Fitzkee too.

Sorry- presently, no Steelers

[supersteeler]

I met James Harrison a year ago, he was nice enough to take a pic with me and a friend. I didn't ask him any specific questions regarding the Steelers, heck I thought it was cool just to get a pic.
I had his 92 Super Bowl jersey on so that might have helped getting a shot with him.
Anyway, even if someone knew a player on a personal basis I doubt that player is going to divulge inside info, where it could get out to the public.

[flippy]

I've known a handful of guys over the years - mostly nobodies. A guy with a SuperBowl ring. Another who I played basketball with prior to his time in the NFL. Another I met after his NFL days.

They all had good stories. But I never hung out with anyone who was playing for the Steelers that had any inside info at the time. And I suspect the only guys that really know much of anything would be Rooney, Colbert, or Tomlin. So you'd need an in with one of those guys.

Actually a friend of mine went to school with Tomlin. She showed me some old pics when the Steelers first hired him because she knows I'm a fan. But it's not like she kept in touch with him - although I did ask if she could hook me up with some tickets.

When I lived in Pittsburgh, I do remember meeting quite a few players in and around town. The coolest guys played for the Penguins and we'd always run into a group of them at a few bars all the time during Jagr's early career. He was nuts. If the internet and cell phones were as prevalent back then as they are today, he would have gotten in so much more trouble than Ben.

I also remember meeting a lot of guys around Latrobe during training camp or at the airports. I'd be curious if guys are as approachable/friendly now given the media, twitter, youtube, etc. Any of the people I've known, I've never pestered for inside info. Back then it was just cool to know somebody. It's been close to 20 years since I've lived in Pittsburgh and times have changed. But back then, I remember players kinda like normal people. But there's no way these guys could act normal unless they're complete unknowns.

Very funny Ruthless

My cousin and her ex-husband used to hang out with Faneca and I think maybe Keisel? quite a bit. A highschool friend of mine regularly babysat for Jerame Tuman.


Me? I lived down the road from Gary Anderson and my mom did some sewing for him or his wife. I saw Faneca at the movie theater, and Max Starks walking in to Target. I delivered flowers to Aaron Smith and Heath Miller's houses. My mom delivered flowers to a bunch of other guys on a weekly basis. I think Rod Woodson helped jump our car in a WalMart parking lot when I was very very young.

I'm totally connected.

if ziggy goes to the same gym as your mom, then i think we've found what's wrong with the guy
