The End of the Steelers Camping Trip and DeadSpin (literally)



We're in the final couple of days of Steelers training camp in Latrobe, PA. St. Vincent's College will host it's final session of the 2006 training camp on Wednesday. Men's News Daily takes a minute to recap what makes a day at Pittsburgh's training camp so great.

Yesterday, Deadspin covered the case of a woman who purchased tickets on e-bay for the September 7 game against the Miami Dolphins last November. This is a pre-Super Bowl victory, pre-2006 schedule ticket transaction made possible by the NFL's scheduling formula that let's you know who to expect where in what season. Well, let's just say the guy selling the tickets wasn't as lucky as the guy that had a heart attack after the terrible tackle -- although it's unclear as to whether rigor mortis set in before or after the XL victory. Makes StubHub's Fan Protect Guarantee seem totally worth it.
