Charlie Batch, Mike Tomlin, Mike Merriweather, Jesse James and Kraig Urbik supported Ryan Shazier at his Fund for Spinal Rehabilitation on Thursday night. Jared Quinteros was the recipient of the “Shalieve Award.” Two years ago he and his wife were hiking in Upper St. Clair when a falling tree branch killed her and crushed his spine. Jared is a father of two boys. He was one of the first people served by Ryan Shazier’s Fund for Spinal Rehabilitation.

Steelers.com It was like a family reunion on Friday night when former Steelers strong safety Troy Polamalu was honored and roasted at the Mel Blount Youth Home All-Star Celebrity Roast. Many of Polamalu’s former teammates and coaches, and those who played before and after him, were on hand to celebrate and share laughs with the Pro Football Hall of Famer.

Troy Polamalu reunited with several former teammates on the night prior to the Mel Blount Youth Home All-Star Celebrity Roast. James Harrison posted a photo on Instagram of himself, Casey Hampton, Shaun Suisham, Jeremy Tuman, Brett Keisel, Joey Porter, Ben Roethlisberger and Polamalu all together.

Wow. From @jharrison9292 Instagram last night.
