Pete Carroll out as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks after 14 seasonsVideo

Penguins defenseman Chad Ruhwedel’s goals are rare but provide a different boostVideo

Cameron Heyward not thinking about ‘nonsense’ of Steelers being 10-point underdogs to Bills

Cameron Heyward doesn’t care that the Pittsburgh Steelers are prohibitive underdogs in their wild-card playoff matchup at Buffalo on Sunday.

ACC’s best rebounders next up for slumping Pitt

There is some good news for Pitt and coach Jeff Capel, but it’s difficult to find much of it after the 78-53 loss to Duke on Tuesday night. The Panthers can cross off North Carolina’s Armando Bacot, the ACC’s leading rebounder, from their list of big men they must confront...

Without T.J. Watt, Markus Golden going to ‘keep hunting’ at outside linebacker for Steelers

Mark Madden: Without T.J. Watt, Steelers’ coaching strategy will be key to containing Josh Allen

Wings aren’t what’s best about Buffalo. Beef on weck is better. Refreshing Pittsburgh Steelers notes are even juicier. Have you ever seen the Buffalo Bills win the Super Bowl? • T.J. Watt’s absence will hurt when the Steelers visit Buffalo. But sacks that don’t occur on third or fourth down...

Pitt steps up in class, gets trampled by No. 11 Duke

Pitt was deficient in many areas Tuesday night in its 75-53 loss to No. 11 Duke in what started out as an energized Petersen Events Center. The most dominant factor in the Panthers’ third loss in four games was the fact they had no answer for Duke 7-foot center Kyle...
