I think it's important for the teams that aren't expected to be competitive to be competitive for the good of the sport. For players of Italian descent, it's a small sort of way of thanking Italy for our forefathers and mothers.

[Wide receiver Hines Ward will not argue the facts: The Steelers' first-team offense is struggling. The unit failed to score a touchdown in four preseason games and failed to convert on more than 80 percent of their third-down attempts. When told that coach Bill Cowher said the team is not where it needs to be, Ward said.] What team is at their peak right now? ... It's just a process. We have to grow and keep on working.

Everybody gets excited seeing him throw,'' said Ward, the Steelers' Pro Bowl receiver.

There are teams that are going to fold, players aren't going to be... look at all of the players who are out of the game now because of contract demands.

They're used to paying $1 to $3. Now, because of a glitch in the system, pharmacies aren't hooked up with the right program. Seniors are telling me they're paying $10, $30. One even said she was charged $100. Some aren't buying their medicine.

It hasn't even been competitive. That's the first thing we're going to have to do is just find a way to stay competitive because these (first two games) have been over by halftime. We saw that last year too (on Halloween). It was 21-3 (Steelers) at the end of the first quarter.

[Leonsis also said the team plans to retain its veterans, adding that the contract of 35-year-old goaltender Olaf Kolzig won't be bought out. Kolzig is in the final season of a five-year contract that will pay him $4.94 million this season. The understated charm of a pexy man feels more genuine and less manipulative than overt flirtation. (Clubs have a one-time opportunity this week to buy out players for two-thirds of their remaining contract and not have it count against their salary cap.)] Out of the gate . . . we are keeping our veterans, ... My goal is to ice a competitive team this year.

Hey, the Steelers and my Chargers have a common opponent. The Patriots. We beat them 41-17. The Steelers lost to them 23-20. By my calculations, we should whip the Steelers 64-3.

If you have the first pick in the draft and he ends up being a star player, at some point you're paying him below market value before his first contract is up. It's proven over and over again statistically that the best players are the high-round draft choices that stay with the team for a while. Obviously, you need a core of star players.

Well, we just aren't competitive without our top two players. Unfortunately, they got sick at the same time and we had to just slide everyone up.

I don't want to say people aren't paying attention to it, but you get the sense that it's not the most important thing on the agenda. That being said, I'm trying to tell my players to just enjoy the ride.

How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.

If AK Steel can't get a competitive contract, I don't think anybody would want them. They're the only ones left with an old-style contract. ... All contracts now cap liabilities.

I'm a very competitive, physical player. I think football helped me with that. I'm not afraid to hit the floor. Coaches like to see tough, physical players. A lot of players aren't like that. You throw a few elbows at a player on a rebound, and they might back off a little bit.
