0 Dallas Cowboys Stadium Posted by DieHardFans | at 12:04 PM

The hyper Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones can’t stop flaunting his renovated stadium. Of course, he has all the reasons in the world to flaunt because, if you look at it nobody has ever come up with an idea like this and even if they did come up with an idea they weren’t able to implement it. But Jerry did it. The stadium now holds the capacity of more than 82,000 seats, with 20,000 standing-room space. They are hoping to break an NFL regular-season attendance record (102,368) set in 1957.

Jones brags about the seven acres of plaza space outside the end zone entrances, with its green space and fountains, "Oceanfront property". He was also proud to brag about the frit treatment in the sloping glass walls, which change colors depending on the light. When it is cloudy outside, the Dallas Cowboys renovated stadium looks silver and on a clear day, it’s blue just like their official team’s color.

The most amazing thing about this new renovated stadium is the $40 million video board, suspended 90 feet above the field with four screens; stretches nearly 60 yards and weighs 600 tons. It is seven stories, attached to the stadium's signature arches, which also houses tracks for a translucent retractable roof. The stadium is also to host the 2010 NBA All-Star Game and the Super Bowl in 2011 — proving itself the nation's premier multipurpose facility because there have been no compromises in its design.

0 Dobovan McNabb’s Injury Posted by DieHardFans | at 10:50 AM

Philadelphia Eagles QB ‘Donovan McNabb’ fractured his rib in the latter half of the game during a touchdown run in Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers, but he has not ruled himself out from playing next Sunday – a home opening game against the New Orleans Saints.

As we all know, he is a tough man; Donovan has done everything for his game; played with a broken ankle, a broken sternum and much more… He did appear on the field on Thursday afternoon but didn’t take part in any of the drills run by Philadelphia Eagles. He is working very hard to get fit and be available for the home opener against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

Although a back QB has been signed by the Eagles incase if the injury proves serious for the ALL-PRO QB. The name JEFF GARCIA might not surprise you. Signed by the Eagles, Garcia will join the Eagles Club this Sunday and be a mentor to Kevin Kolb. Michael Vick is not eligible to play until the 3rd week, but the Eagles have already added his name on the 53-man Roster.

0 Troy Polamalu’s Injury Posted by DieHardFans | at 11:23 PM

This might be the first time Troy Polamalu is happy to hear that an injury will keep him out from just few games and not the entire season. The 2-Time ALL-PRO injured his left medical collateral ligament that occurred during a scramble for the ball on a blocked-field goal attempt Thursday against Tennessee Titans.

After medical scans, the doctors have decided that he wouldn’t require a surgery on his knee. The condition could have been worse but he feels blessed that he wouldn’t have to undergo a surgery for this injury or miss the whole regular season. Pittsburgh Steelers will definitely miss his presence on the field and the way he used to adapt to different plays.

His ability to be a pass defender makes him one of the NFL’s most versatile players. But no worries for Pittsburgh Steelers! They’ve got a backup – Tyron Carter; we all know that nobody can stand in Polamalu’s shoes, but Carter will do the job. Troy Polamalu is expected to recover from this injury within 4 to 8 weeks.

0 Steelers Defeat Titans in Overtime Posted by DieHardFans | at 3:06 AM

The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to wear the seventh ring on their finger with their defense-oriented game that was hard fought and well played.

The true strength of the Steelers was one-handed interception by Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu and Big Ben Roethlisberger, who proved his mastery of the two-minute no-huddle offense hooked up with receivers Santonio Holmes and Hines Ward. The fact that Steelers were on their home ground, did not help them much, as Titans did prove to be a good stone wall against Steelers running backs.

The Steelers tied the game with just over 2 minutes left in the game on a 32 yard field goal with 2:57 left on the clock. Pittsburgh won the toss in overtime and Roethlisberger moved the Steelers down the field on 3 pass completions setting up Jeff Reeds 32 yard game winning field goal. The win, however cost the Steelers defensive leader Troy Polamalu, as he suffered from a knee injury on a blocked field goal.

It seems that Steelers’ fans are not getting enough of customized Roethlisberger jerseys, bags and totes as more and more NFL fans are seen sporting bags and totes with number ‘7’.

2 Steelers vs. Titans Posted by DieHardFans | at 5:37 AM

Today the Steelers are going to take on one of the best teams from last year, the Titans. Of course, Steelers are at home and are considered favorite, and the fact that Titans had crushed them in the game played down south in December, 08 adds to the spice of this game. Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to play this game with a vengeance. They are looking super strong and they have Rashard Mendenhall to top it up.

This game means a lot to both teams. For the Steelers, this game means finishing with the best record in the conference. For the Titans it means getting closer to the best season in their history. For both it will do a lot to determine who earns home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The difference here is that the Steelers defense is much better, ranking first in many categories of defensive statistics. The Titans have struggled in a few games and haven't faced as many high caliber offenses.

There are definitely going to be more Pittsburgh Steelers caps and jerseys around today and Tim Mc Graw and Blck Eyed Peas are going to rock! The performances are said to be a part of the celebration to kick off the 2009 season and to honor the six-time Super-Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers and the city of Pittsburgh.

If I had to bet, I would certainly put all my money on Steelers, whaddya think?
