Anyone got any Tyleno… nevermind. Let’s discuss...

Aaron Rodgers doesn’t fancy himself as a beer drinker, but he admitted his favorite alcoholic beverage on tap is Guinness.

During his weekly press conference Tuesday, coach Mike Tomlin was asked if injuries in the secondary (DeShon Elliott, Joey Porter Jr.) have resulted in the Steelers “holding back” on defense. “Certainly, but it’s not just the injuries.
