Tiki to the Steelers? Dear, God, No!

Today's Totally Awesome Rumor™ has Tiki Barber coming to the Steelers -- amazing, since neither he nor his agent have had any contact with the team.  And I believe that, too.  Why, on God's green Earth, would the Steelers want to add a running back who physiologically could be their starting back's father?

Why I am Thrilled the Bengals Won't Trade Carson Palmer

Part of me hates that the first post to this site is about a division rival rather than about the Steelers, but it indirectly affects the fortunes of our beloved NFL team, so bear with me.

We, fans of a team in the AFC North not located in Cincinnati, Ohio, should be elated that the Bengals will not trade their leader, Carson Palmer.  We should be ecstatic about it, actually.  And it has nothing to do with Palmer's threat to retire if he is not traded; let's face facts here.  NFL Pundits aside, no one really considers Palmer to be one of the NFL's elite.  Aside from a few statistically good seasons, he has never done anything of value, even with a team as loaded with talented individuals like the 2010 Bengals.  Carson Palmer is Kyle Orton, basically.  Enough to keep his team from imploding (usually) but never enough to push them over the hump.
