Not only is it stolen from book stores and libraries it is also shoplifted in large numbers from just about anywhere. In it’s blatant attempt to teach and scare the hell out most Christians it also finds it necessary to describe in great detail many of mans most questionable habits.

  • Who went on a killing spree when their sister Dinah was treated like a prostitute?
  • Where did the prostitute Rahab live?

  • Who ordered his daughter-in-law Tamar burned because she had acted like a prostitute?

Most human beings are somewhat intelligent. Of course that doesn’t always guarantee that they’re very smart. Many times in my life I’ve been challenged about something I’ve said or written even when I have irrefutable proof to prove my statements. There are always people who adamantly demand that they are correct regardless of any proof provided. Some folks simply enjoy arguing about everything and others are just simply ignorant. Human nature being what it is, I don’t see any changes in this regard. Todays post will contain a number of items which may seem incorrect to some of you, but they are not. Wrap your heads around these tidbits of truthfulness . The correct answers will be listed below.

02/19/2026 BRING THE STEEL   Leave a comment

I’m a life long Pittsburgh Steeler fan thanks to my father and grandfathers. It was black and gold all the time beginning at the age of 4. That’s when I finally realized what football was and how important it was for family unity. No matter what, you stayed loyal to the team. I learned a large and varied collection of interesting cuss words over the years as we sat and listened to the games, especially during those seasons that the team wasn’t particularly successful. I relished the 1970’s and the four Superbowl wins and managed to maintain my sanity though a couple of decades of so-so football.

Todays post is my offering to the real Steeler fans out there who just can’t get enough information on the teams colorful history. Here are ten trivia questions to test your “fandomness” (I made up that word so no smart-ass comments about my spelling). As always, the answers will be listed below. Enjoy . . .

  • What future NFL coach was the offensive coordinator with the Steelers from 2007-2011?
  • Whose 89-yard touchdown pass to Dwight Stone in1991 was the longest pass thrown at Three Rivers stadium?
  • In 2001 , which Pittsburgh linebacker was named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year?
  • In 2011, Ben Roethlisberger threw the longest touchdown pass in franchise history. Who caught the 95-yarder?
  • Which receiver made 217 appearances for the Steelers between 1998 and 2011?

  • The Steelers set a franchise after starting the 2020 season with how many consecutive wins?
  • Which Steeler legend is the author of a 2021 book called “Heart and Steel”?
  • Which tight end, which was drafted by the Steelers in 2015, shares his name with a famous wild west outlaw?
  • Since the AFL/NFL merger, only two Steelers quarterbacks have thrown for more than 400 yards in a game. Big Ben is one, who is the other?
  • Eight of Troy Polamalu’s 35 interceptions were against what team?

BONUS QUESTION

Which running back rushed for 161 yards from 22 carries and caught a

48-yard pass in his first career start for the Steelers against the Titans in 2005?

BIG BEN

Am I a Steeler fan – Hell YES! Am I a fan of the NFL in general – HELL NO! Like any other large and money drunk organization it has slowly become corrupt to the point of ridiculousness. It’s not the players but the legions of hanger-on’s making millions of dollars for themselves and effecting the game in more way’s than I even realize. I keep hearing about how unfair some of the officiating has become and the powers-that-be are investigating. How about a little transparency for all of us dumb-ass fans. I want to know the results of the investigations and what corrective measures that were taken. For sure I’m not “holding my breath” on that happening.

Now that my rant has been completed I’ll be posting information that might interest the true Steeler fans out there. I’ve obtained a book recently with trivia facts about the team I’ve never heard before. I find it interesting that this book was published by a true British Steeler fan – Chris Bradshaw and I’m reasonably sure he’s no relation to Terry. This first quiz concerns only questions concerning Big Ben. Answers will be listed below. Let’s get to it . . .

  • In what year did Roethlisberger make his debut withe the Steelers?
  • How old was Ben when he won his first Superbowl?
  • Roethlisberger was the fourth quarterback to win 100 of his first 150 NFL starts. Who were the other three?
  • Roethlisberger made a cameo appearance in which 2012 superhero movie?
  • Ben was one of four quarterbacks taken in the first round of his NFL Draft class. Name the other three.

  • What is Ben’s middle name?
  • Roethlisberger threw for a franchise-record 522 yards during a 2014 win over which AFC rival?
  • With which pick of the NFL draft did the Steelers select Big Ben?
  • What is the most touchdown passes that Ben has thrown in a single regular season?
  • Ben started his rookie season as the third-string quarterback behind which two veterans? Who are they?

Answers
2004, 23, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Montana, and Charlie Batch, The Dark Knight Rises, Tom Brady, Eli Manning, and Philip Rivers, Todd, Indianapolis, 11th – Pick 19, 34, Tommy Maddox & Charlie Batch.
