Last weekend was a slow football weekend for Steelers fans because the Black and Gold had a bye week. Let's hope that the week's rest won't put to rest the momentum the team captured by recently shutting out the Seattle Seahawks, 21-0. That outing followed a subpar performance the preceding week in Tempe, Ariz., against the Arizona Cardinals, who, by the way, lost to a talent-starved Carolina Panther squad 25-10 this past Sunday. The next speed bump on the "Road to Perdition" for the Black and Gold is Denver. I'm sorry, the team from the "Mile High" city could possibly represent a rabid and wild stallion just "waitin to hurt sumthin" and if Steely McBeam and his cronies are not careful, they might fit the definition of "sumthin.

Rookie coach Nick Saban's Miami Dolphins finished 2005 with a flourish, winning their final six games to wind up 9-7 and just miss the playoffs. But this year's Dolphins are the AFC's worst team at 1- 6 and surely will set a franchise record by missing postseason for a fifth straight season.

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. -- Kevin Mawae just won't bite. Staying true to team policy, Mawae, the New York Jets' center, remained mum Monday about the broken bone in his right hand and whether he'll start Sunday in Miami.
