🏈 Former Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw reflected on his game-clinching touchdown pass to Larry Brown in Super Bowl IX.
“Bubba!!! Bubba caught a touchdown pass from me in Super Bowl IX, the one we’re honoring tonight, then the next year he was right tackle. Blockin for me,” Bradshaw said at Mel Blount’s Youth Home All-Star Celebrity Roast.
🏈 Happy Birthday to Steelers long snapper and Pittsburgh native Christian Kuntz, born on April 13, 1994 in Scott Township, Pennsylvania.
🏈 A new study by Betway has ranked NFL stadiums based on the number of concession stands available per 10,000 fans and per seating section, highlighting the venues that offer the best food and beverage access for game-day crowds. Acrisure Stadium, home of the Steelers, came in at No. 16.
Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears, tops the list with an impressive 25 concession stands per 10,000 fans, ensuring attendees have ample food and drink options. State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, follows closely behind with 23 per 10,000 fans, while Ford Field, where the Detroit Lions play, secures third place with 21.7.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta and SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles round out the top five, emphasizing a strong commitment to the fan experience.
Highmark Stadium (Buffalo Bills) and M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore Ravens) have the fewest concessions per 10,000 fans, with 6.0 and 7.7, respectively, potentially leading to longer wait times for refreshments.
🏈 Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward was hanging out with Wiz Khalifa at Pat McAfee’s Big Night AHT event.
🏈 Former NFL offensive lineman Mark Schlereth defended Shedeur Sanders.
“Did Tom Brady have the requisite athletic ability? Did Peyton Manning have the requisite athletic ability? Arm talent doesn’t mean anything to me. Are you accurate? Shedeur is one of the most accurate QBs [in the draft],” Schlereth said on FS1’s The Breakfast Ball.
🏈 Mina Kimes of ESPN would like to see Shedeur Sanders end up with the Steelers.
“They have a really good receiving trio now in DK Metcalf, George Pickens, and their tight end, Pat Freiermuth. I think the offensive line is heading in the right direction, particularly on the interior,” Kimes said on ESPN’s NFL Live. “We’ll see what they get out of their former first-round draft pick, Troy Fautanu, now that he’s healthy. I also think Arthur Smith would like Sanders’ skill set, particularly his willingness to throw accurately over the middle of the field. Last year, both Justin Fields and Russell Wilson aren’t really quarterbacks who target that part of the field. Arthur Smith really prioritizes it.”
