Falcons WR Roddy White is always an entertaining follow on Twitter. Not shy to express his opinion, he’s sounded off on other players, coaches, teams and any other topic on which he feels the need.

He turned his ire toward Steelers offensive coordinator during Sunday night’s Colts/Steelers game, right after a montage of Haley arguing with former players he’s coached, WR Terrell Owens and Anquan Boldin and QB Matt Cassel.

It’s safe to say White doesn’t feel Haley, or other coaches, should overvalue their contributions toward a team’s success.

The Tweet, which is still active, read:

Todd Haley problem is he really thinks that coaches win games not players when he realizes he doesn’t win games than he will be fine

— Roddy White (@roddywhiteTV) August 20, 2012

“Then,” not “than,” Roddy.

It’s interesting insight, though. This is White’s eighth season in the league, and he hasn’t failed to catch at least 83 passes for at least 1,153 yards since 2007. We can take his opinion as educated, at least.

Coaches may not make as much as players, but clearly, their success as coordinators is a pretty strong piece of another team’s desire to hire them as head coaches. Some head coaches have had far more success than others, suggesting there is at least something of a correlation between the ability of a coach and the amount of scratch marks in his win column.

As far as Haley’s success, he obviously did enough to impress Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. Haley was hired to fill what was probably the most attractive offensive coordinator job available this offseason.

But what does Tomlin know? He’s only a coach.

Steelers FS Ryan Clark is as fearless in giving his opinion as he is hitting opposing receivers.

Tribune-Review reporter Mark Kaboly writes Tuesday Clark is planning to tone down the opinion part this season. Kind of.

Clark, the Steelers’ union representative, has been outspoken against the direction of the NFL, in particular, rules regarding contact on receivers. He picked up multiple fines last year, including a $40,000 deduction for a hit on Ravens TE Dennis Pitta. To paraphrase Clark’s quote, he wondered aloud whether he should have just “put him to sleep,” or taken out his knee, suggesting the NFL isn’t giving defensive players much room in which to hit offensive players.

Kaboly quoted Clark:

“The perception of our team was starting to be tainted,” Clark said. “It went from us being hard-nosed, tough football players to maybe being dirty and not really caring about rules. That wasn’t the case; It was that you were feeling that you were mistreated.”

Clark certainly made his stance on the issue clear last year, and it’s understandable how defensive players are frustrated over the league’s alleged emphasis on player safety, considering it wasn’t an issue before Week 6 of the 2010 season. Clark had been a starting safety in the NFL for roughly four seasons by that point.

The league is banking on defensive players in particular becoming more accurate in striking opposing players, and forcing them to recognize a “defenseless” player while in motion. Clark isn’t saying anywhere in Kaboly’s piece he plans to change the way he plays, but rather, makes suggestion he does not want to draw any more negative attention toward the team.

Outside of that, Clark doesn’t say he’s going to quiet down. In fact, he says he’s still going to be himself.

“I want to focus on football,” Clark said. “Our time to win a championship is winding down so I want to put all my focus into that. But I am (still) going to give my opinion.

“There is no situation where I said I am going to shut up. I am going to be me, I am going to speak out and be honest.”

The awesome Wiz Khalifa jam that will forever be linked to the 2010 Pittsburgh Steelers was recently featured in a Madden 13 commercial. A rather annoying Steelers fan takes on Ravens LB Ray Lewis in the game and uses the song as a way to taunt him. 

Here’s the commercial:

Update: Apparently the annoying guy in the commercial is some famous actor named Paul Rudd. I clearly do not watch many movies. Kudos to @jwilton23 on Twitter for the heads up. He’s still annoying though

Seemingly everybody is putting their spin on Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe,” including the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team’s YouTube channel published the black n’ gold version earlier today.

Players featured include Ben Roethlisberger, Brett Keisel, Ike Taylor LaMarr Woodley, Shaun Suisham, Ryan Clark, James Harrison and more.

Ike is definitely the star of the show though.

My personal favorite moment is James Harrison taking a break from his ridiculous incline dumbell chest press to do the “call me” pose that 11 year old girls do. It is around the 2:30 mark. Hilarious.

The adage goes you go undefeated at home, and 4-4 on the road, you’re hosting at least one post-season game.

Winning those four games on the road, though, is tougher than it may sound.

Three of those eight games will be toughest of all, and the crack production team of SB Nation, led by editor emeritus Michael Bean, actually found a way to make some of what I said sound kind of cool.

The point is, Week 1 at Denver, Week 9 at New York Giants and Week 13 at Batlimore look to be the three toughest of eight difficult games. We go in depth into how those games figure to go with predictions and records to that point in the Steelers season.

The production really is outstanding, cool music and great graphics. Hopefully the content holds up to that very high standard.

Here’s the link, or you can look at it on the sidebar of this page.

Around the 2:30 mark.

Although the Steelers are only like the millionth group/company/team to do this, it’s still a fun video — despite that rather disturbing Greg Warren camera angle — but something about the meanest man in football, lip-synching the poppiest, bubble-gummiest three words in the entire history of music is particularly funny.
