Pittsburgh Steelers T-Shirt , but if you think the news surrounding the black-and-gold is over — think again. For the drama-filled Steelers, things are just heating up, and this is where the daily links article comes in. You might have missed some key news, and we fill you in and give you the latest, and sometimes greatest, news surrounding the Steelers.Today in the Black-and-gold links article we take a look at whether Antonio Brown’s sporadic behavior on social media has him thinking about a change of heart. You know, coming back to the Steelers next season rather than requesting/demanding a trade away from the team who drafted him into the league.Let’s get to the news:Tim Benz: Has Antonio Brown changed his mind about Pittsburgh?By: Tim Benz, Pittsburgh Tribune-ReviewHas Antonio Brown changed his mind about wanting to stay in Pittsburgh?The Steelers wide receiver continues to show that he is not bipolar. He’s tripolar. Maybe quadpolar — if that’s a thing.If it isn’t yet, it will be as soon as Brown is diagnosed.Now — after weeks of turning his nose up at the Steelers and pandering to the Packers and 49ers fan bases — Brown is pleading for acceptance from Steelers fans again.I’m going to assume A.B. meant “SteelerNation RT (retweet) if u WANT AB in Pittsburgh.” But perhaps he was too busy grooming his blonde mustache to pay attention to his syntax.Regardless of his insubordination at the end of the 2018 season, that tweet still got 31,000 retweets and 20,000 likes at the time of this post.(To read more, click the link in the headline above...)Steelers’ ‘perfect catch’ turns 10: When Santonio Holmes won a Super BowlBy: Jeremy Fowler, ESPNAfter Larry Fitzgerald split a sea of Pittsburgh Steelers defenders to give the Arizona Cardinals the lead with 2:37 left in Super Bowl XLIII, Santonio Holmes told himself he wouldn’t be denied again.He thought of missed opportunities in his football career, from underwhelming performances in meaningful high school games to redshirting during Ohio State’s 2002 national championship season.He had to be the difference this time, so he walked up to his quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger Pittsburgh Steelers Hats , who was positioned close to offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, and tapped him on the hip.”I said, ‘[No.] 7, I want the ball right now,’” Holmes, 34, recalled of his words before the game-winning drive. “‘No disrespect to the other guys. I want the ball.’ He never said anything. He just threw it to me.”Ten years ago Friday, Holmes made a play that will forever live in black-and-gold folklore. The freeze frame says it all: Holmes tapping his two feet on the Cardinal-painted end zone as three defenders closed in, securing the ball while bracing for the fall out of bounds from the far corner.Roethlisberger delivered the kind of throw that inspires shoe ads. The brilliant 6-yard touchdown with 42 seconds left gave the Steelers a 27-23 lead, secured their sixth world championship and changed Holmes’ life forever.”Millions are watching you. What are you going to do now?” Holmes said about his mentality before the play. “You didn’t ask God to put you in this place for you not to do what you were supposed to do.”This won’t break me. This will make me. Legends never die.”(To read more, click the link in the headline above...)Patriots quarterback Tom Brady tops NFLPA’s merchandise sales listBy: Associated PressWho’s No. 1 in football?When it comes to merchandise sales, who else but Tom Brady?According to the NFL Players Association Top 50 Player Sales List, based on total sales of all officially licensed NFL player merchandise from March-November 2018 -- the most updated survey available -- the quarterback ranks ahead of Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott. Brady leads New England into a Super Bowl for the ninth time on Sunday.The list includes NFL player-branded merchandise sold from online and traditional retail outlets as reported by more than 70 NFLPA licensees. Licensed product categories include men’s, women’s and youth game jerseys and T-shirts; player murals; collectible figures; matted and framed photos; bobbleheads; drinkware; calendars; puzzles; and holiday ornaments.The next two players on the list are Giants rookie running back Saquon Barkley and Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott, followed by three quarterbacks: Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers, Philadelphia’s Carson Wentz, and Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes.Rounding out the top 10 are Steelers receiver Antonio Brown, Texans QB Deshaun Watson and Bears edge rusher Khalil Mack Pittsburgh Steelers Womens Hoodie , the only defensive player on the list. The Super Bowl is over and the NFL season came to an expected, but unsatisfying end for me. Patriots, Schmatriots. I can turn my attention to hockey, which I will. But I’m a football guy and I can’t quite go without. It’s a lot like my buddy from college that could never be without a significant other. If a relationship ended, he was open for business and hiring immediately. Sure he got catfished, beat up, embezzled from and was prescribed a boat-load of antibiotics...but deep down he was content. That’s how I feel about football. And my fallback has arrived.I’ve done it before, you know. In 1983, I got my USFL on. I even have my original Pittsburgh Mauler t-shirt from the league’s second season. In 1987, the Pittsburgh Gladiators and (much later on) the Pittsburgh Power of the Arena League caught my eye. I’ve been confused by the Canadian Football league, broke French Bread with the World League of American Football and was intrigued and mildly entertained by the bizarre brainchild of Vince McMahon...the XFL. There’s been others too. Now thanks to Charlie Ebersol and Bill Polian, I can get my fix this weekend in the form of the Alliance of American Football. Eight-teams from warmer locales will battle for the love of football-starved fans and the players could compete for a shot at NFL redemption. (See Tommy Maddox, 2001). There’s players you might recognize and coaches you surely will. Pittsburgh fans will rejoice the fact that two all-time heroes, Troy Polamalu and Hines Ward, are league executives.Atlanta and Phoenix are the two NFL cities with teams. But for cities deprived of teams behind the shield, they get their taste of professional pigskin. San Diego, two years removed from the Chargers, gets a team again. Birmingham Womens Customized Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys , Salt Lake City, Memphis, San Antonio and Orlando will hope their league sticks this time around.The rules won’t be too different than the NFL. However, there won’t be kickoffs or extra-point tries (only two-point conversions), but there exists a sky judge to call missed or egregious penalties. Games will attempt to be shorter, as well. CBS will broadcast the opener and the CBS Sports Network will broadcast a weekly game during their ten-week run and the championship will be decided on the weekend of the NFL Draft. Here’s a guide to the teams:Arizona Hotshots (Golden Yellow, Forest Green and Orange)Notable Names: GM Phil Savage, Coach Rick Neuheisel and QB Trevor KnightAtlanta Legends (Purple, White and Gold)Notable Names: Coach Kevin Coyle, QB Aaron Murray, QB/RB Denard Robinson and WR Stephen HillBirmingham Iron (Black and Grey)Notable Names: GM Joe Pendry, Coach Tim Lewis, QB Blake Sims, QB Scott Tolzien, RB Trent Richardson, CB JaCorey Shepherd and K Nick NovakMemphis Express (Red, White and Blue)Notable Names: Coach Mike Singletary, QB Christian Hackenberg www.steelerscheapauthenticstore.com , QB Zach Mettenberger, P Brad Wing and RB Zac StacyOrlando Apollos (Navy Blue and Dark Orange and Bright Orange)Notable Names: Coach Steve Spurrier, QB Stephen Morris, LB Terrance Garvin and DB Will HillSalt Lake Stallions (Sky Blue, Royal Blue and Silver)Notable Names: GM Randy Mueller, Coach Dennis Erickson and RB Matt AsiataSan Antonio Commanders (Maroon, Silver and Red)Notable Names: GM Daryl “Moose” Johnston, Coach Mike Riley and RB David CobbSan Diego Fleet (Anthracite Grey, Battleship Grey and Sun Yellow)Notable Names: Coach Mike Martz, DE Damontre Moore, TE Gavin Escobar and RB Bishop Sankey.......The power rankings are already out and the Arizona Hotshots are favored to win it all on paper. But in the AAF, the games are played in stadiums...so anything can happen. I’m going to take my time finding a team, but I’m already leaning towards San Diego. Great city, Mike Martz is a madman, the uniforms are cool and who doesn’t love Travis Freeney? Custom Carolina Panthers Jerseys
