Throwback Thursday

Fan Tara Henderson shared this photo she took in 2017. We shared it on the site’s Facebook page and asked fans to give it their best caption.


Out of 135 captions offered in just a few hours, Vance Boomer Kaloz won after he received the most likes/loves/laughs from everyone for this one!

“Jesse James caught the ball!”

👍



Todd Mavis came in second with this gem! It was simple, it was funny.

“Hey. Can we swap jerseys after the game?”

😂



A BIG Shout-out to all of the Steelers fans that took the time to play along on a quiet June day: the readers, the voters, and the caption players!

“Footbahlin’ with Ben Roethlisberger”, Episode 130



No film-room cop-outs, no “it depends” hedging. Just quick, honest win-loss calls across the entire schedule, including rivalry landmines in the AFC North and that wildcard trip to Paris to face the Saints.

After the picks, we zoom out and talk about what’s actually driving optimism right now: a complete coaching reset under Mike McCarthy, what minicamp and OTAs can reveal about tempo and expectations, and why veteran buy-in matters as much as talent. We also hit key Steelers news and roster pressure points, like the Chris Boswell extension and the growing questions around Joey Porter Jr and how a “hold in” could impact training camp.

We finish by asking the real question behind every schedule prediction: if 12 and 5 is on the table, what does this team have to change to finally deliver in the postseason? Listen, then drop your record prediction and your boldest take. If you enjoyed the show, subscribe, share it with a Steelers fan, and leave a review.

Merril Hoge with a Throwback Thursday



The rest of his message:


We’ve all learned so much through football, adversity, leadership, and life, and what’s special is that we continue learning from each other even today.

That’s what real growth is about. Great people, great conversations, and lessons that never stop.

“Footbahlin’ with Ben Roethlisberger”, Episode 129

Aaron Rodgers news hits differently when it’s big enough to find you while you’re out of the country, and that’s where we start from the basement. We talk through what Rodgers coming back to Pittsburgh means for the Steelers right now, not as a fantasy, but as a real “win now” window. The guys lay out why this roster looks like a legit playoff team on paper, what still has to break right, and why it’s too early to throw around Super Bowl contender like it’s a guarantee.

From there, we get nerdy in the best way: quarterback fundamentals, footwork, and why seeing a young QB drill something like a three-step drop can spark a bigger question about the college football pipeline. We break down under-center mechanics, pro-style timing, anticipation throws, and the difference between the clean “handbook” version of the position and the real NFL moments where protection fails and you survive on feel, instincts, and experience. If you love the chess match side of football, this part is for you.

We also dig into the offensive line as a chemistry problem, not just a talent problem. OTAs are for shuffling pieces, testing combinations, and finding the five who actually function as one unit. Then we close with something personal: celebrating Ashley’s seminary graduation and what it takes for a whole family to support a long-term goal.
