        Ed Bouchette of the Post-Gazette is reporting that in the event of a lockout, some Steelers are considering alternative conditioning programs and discussing meeting at various locations to workout together. Keeping the “Sword sharp” so to speak.

        Not a bad idea. This was the way it was done 20-30 years ago before the OTA’s and [...]

          On June 24, 2010 By

          Power Punch is a term Tunch Ilkin and I adopted for the style of punching we used in pass protection.

            The martial discipline of Jiu Jitsu is beautiful. And extremely potent. Never more was this demonstrated to me than one lesson with my instructor, Edward Lee Vincent.

            After executing a takedown on Ed during one of our many sparring sessions, I landed in his guard. Ed lay on his back, using his legs like hands [...]

                  Winning At Any Cost

                  On June 9, 2010 By

                  Coach Noll was all about winning. But not winning at any cost like most of the pseudo-Lombardi types that coached in the 70′s and 80′s. Chuck was a man of principle and integrity, and he led by example. When other coaches would push the rules, Chuck would have none of it. Nor would he allow [...]

Man versus machine in the 1840′s. Supposedly Henry swung a 20 pound sledgehammer and was considered one of the strongest men alive.
