    The Blame Game

    On August 31, 2010 By

    Win or lose, there’s always more to it than meets the eye. There are obvious gaffes, and then those which appear to be obvious, but the crux of the problem lies elsewhere. The bottom line though, is that a team wins together, and loses together. Finger pointing is the single most destructive element that can tear apart [...]

      Just thinking out loud here, but;

      There’s a new conversation on the streets of Pittsburgh that previously excluded a name I’m about to drop after last night’s game in the world of NFL quarterbacking. And that name is Charlie Batch. An oldie, but a goldie. Charlie is to the Steelers what Washington D.C. has been to Wall [...]

        The Dress rehearsal in Denver kicks off tonight and I’m looking specifically how three guys will meet the challenge tonight.

        Maurkice Pouncey; first time he’s got a pro-bowl nose tackle perched on his noggin. Jamal Williams is a massive man. Thus far, Maurkice has really only played against an even front. Though he’s practiced against [...]

          Mile High is mile high because it’s a stadium that sits at an altitude of a mile high in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains in Denver. That’s the dizzying logic i bring each and every day to the Locker Room with Tunch Ilkin on Foxsportsradio 970.

          But the reality of the dizzying logic is in [...]

            How strong is strong? Try this on for size.

            Do several one-armed pushups. Then do it with shoulder pads and a helmet on. Then, while doing rapid fire one-armed pushups continuously, have a couple mischievious friends lift your feet about 3 feet into the air and keep on doing them as if you were doing two-armed [...]

              Classic Mr. Rooney

              On August 24, 2010 By

              One of the real gentleman of the game and a man that I truly admire is Dan Rooney. He is a unique personality. Mr. Rooney (and I still address him as such) seamlessly combines strength of character and leadership with a gentle humbleness not often found in the world of professional football.

              So when I saw Mr. Rooney in [...]

                Last week on our show “In the Lockerroom with Tunch and Wolf” we were broadcasting from training camp. One of my family members, Dean Rutan is known as “Moose,” or “Uncle Moose” to my kids because he’s a pretty big dude. Well Moose came up to visit and was hanging out with me and Tunch [...]

                  Maurkice Pouncey

                  On August 23, 2010 By

                  Standing on the sidelines is the best view you can get at a game. During the Giants pre-season game, i started to spend a lot of time watching the Steelers first round draft choice Maurkice Pouncey. Everybody knows this young man has got all the tools to be a great lineman. A highly respected defensive lineman told [...]

                    The life of a rookie in a veteran world is difficult. Everyone of the rooks has come from a background as a BMOC (big man on campus) just a short time ago. Therefore, coming to a new team loaded with vets can be a humbling situation. It’s all about learning your place.

                    Just look at Dallas WR Dez [...]

                      Oh baby this is it! Yeah, the end of training camp. I’m cutting out a day early, but this is the last practice open to the public And the rest are glorified walk-throughs. Tunch and I move the Locker Room to the studios at Clear Channel on Greentree road. And with the ending of training [...]
