Steeler News On Twitter
I'm relatively new to Twitter. I like it. I like it a lot. News is immediate. Just as important for this blog, Steelers news is immediate. To give you some idea what Twitter posted in just the last few days regarding the Steelers:
- Behind The Steel Curtain reported today that Hines Ward was back in Pittsburgh this week. "Fourteen years---what more can you ask for?" said 86. "...I'm part of the greatest organization in all of football...Shoot, I don't even have hair!" Ward added.
- Bleecher Report reports Dan Rooney would like to see the Steelers play in Ireland.
- Steelers Depot reports the first battles to take place at training camp will be fought in the cornerback positions. Currently there are four conerbacks on the 90 man roster: Terry Carter, Terrence Frederick, Andre Freeman and Walter McFadden.
- Steelers.com reports Franco Harris was honored for his long service to the poor. Harris has been a long-time board member of the Franciscan Sisters of the Poor Foundation. The Foundation has been in service to the poor since 1845. In addition, there is a new foundation, "Franco's Army To End Poverty." Donors receive a photo and personal letter from Harris.
