Local stars Brett Keisel, Troy Polamalu and, of course, Charlie Batch search for the "true meaning of the season" in this Charlie Brown parody.
As the playoffs draw closer, Pittsburgh's favorite backup quarterback is searching for the true "meaning of the season" this Christmas—at least on YouTube. A new parody of the classic A Charlie Brown Christmas features Peanuts versions of some of your favorite Steelers from Patch communities, including Brett Keisel (Cranberry Township area) and Troy Polamalu (Pine Township). The video stars Charlie Batch, who asks a beard-petting Keisel as well as new father Ben Roethlisberger to help him find the true meaning of the Steelers season. "The playoffs season is coming up, and this whole team has stopped believing," the Batch character complains. The parody also features a thumb-sucking Mike Wallace, and Polamalu is piano-playing Schroeder. …

He had been feeling poorly for most of last week and became ill during the previous Sunday's home game against Cincinnati." The Browns selected Pinkston in the fifth round of the 2011 NFL Draft after an outstanding career at…

Many NFL players just try to stay healthy until the regular season starts.
Is it too much to ask to have your top three draft picks healthy for the regular season? How 'bout just one of them? Although their second-round pick, offensive tackle Mike Adams, has seemingly recovered from his preseason knee injury, the Pittsburgh Steelers may be without first-round guard David DeCastro and third-round linebacker Sean Spence for at least a large part of the 2012 regular season after DeCastro and Spence both suffered serious knee injuries during the NFL's mandatory four-game preseason. Debates over the value of preseason games when the injury risks associated with them are weighed in have waged for years among football fans, and a rash of injuries to promising young Steelers this preseason has gotten many Pittsburghers …

The Steelers will start preseason play in 2012 without the Pro Bowl receiver.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will have to replace much of their depth and leadership from a year ago. Gone are Aaron Smith, James Farrior, Chris Hoke and Hines Ward and their combined eight Super Bowl titles, 12 AFC championships, five All-Pro honors, seven Pro Bowl selections and a Super Bowl MVP trophy. And joining that list of ex-Steelers could be Mike Wallace, another player with an appearance in both a Super and Pro bowl. Wallace's all-star year came just a season ago, as he led the Steelers with 72 receptions, almost 1,200 receiving yards, and eight touchdown catches—six more than fellow Pro Bowler Antonio Brown, who was signed to a $42.5-million contract extension through the 2017 season on July 27, this year. Wallace is in a contract …
