? Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman of Las Vegas, Nevada proclaimed February 22, 2024 as Kordell Stewart Day. The former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback teamed up with the Traillionaires Foundation to host a two-day charity golf event in Las Vegas.

? Former Carolina Panthers and Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. thinks Russell Wilson to the Steelers would be a gift to the Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals.
“So, if I’m the Baltimore Ravens, I’m saying, ‘Oh hell yeah, bring him in, bring him in.’ Have you not seen Russell Wilson over the last two years? Have you not seen what’s going on in the AFC North?” Smith said on NFL Total Access.
“Now you have Russell Wilson in Pittsburgh? I don’t really see Russell Wilson right now, based on his body of work and what he has done in Denver, that you’re sitting here thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, the Pittsburgh Steelers just got that much better.'”
“Good luck, buttercup, if you’re going to get Russell Wilson in Pittsburgh and play in the AFC North. They have three good teams, and if Russell Wilson is your guy, he does not make your team better right now. Sometimes, I can’t read, and sometimes, I can’t count, but guess what? I can count and read today, and the numbers don’t add up.”
? Former Steelers quarterback and Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw said on the Rich Eisen Show that he wished he could have played in today’s era.

? Terry Bradshaw did a complete 180 on Arthur Smith. During the interview with Rich Eisen, Bradshaw said he felt Smith was “one win away” from keeping his head coach job in Atlanta. He also claimed that Smith’s a “good dude” and a “good guy.”
That’s a completely different tune from Bradshaw as he absolutely ripped Smith during the season for benching Desmond Ridder.
“I have no respect for Arthur Smith,” Bradshaw said during “Fox NFL Sunday” on Dec. 24. “(He) messed with that young quarterback Desmond Ridder like that, and you set him back. Play the young man. Leave him alone. Don’t lie to him. And (Smith) lied to him. He needs to get his butt whooped! Nothing upsets me more than when someone lies to me.”
