The Steelers agreed to a contract with a man called “Booger”. It’s late and not much time to “dig” for more info, but seeing how he failed the Colts physical and subsequently was cut, I’m a little nervous. At least his primary role will be that of a back up.

From the Post-Gazette: Anthony “Booger” McFarland, released last month by the Indianapolis Colts when he failed their physical, came to a contract agreement with the Steelers last night after meeting with team officials and taking a physical earlier in the day. He is a defensive lineman who is 6 feet, 300 pounds. He spent all last season on injured reserve with a knee injury. The Colts acquired McFarland in a trade with Tampa Bay in October 2006 for a second-round draft choice.

He was the Buccaneers’ first-round draft choice in 1999 from LSU and played for Tampa Bay when Steelers coach Mike Tomlin was the secondary coach there.

In other news:

• Clark Haggans and Jereme Tuman have jumped to Western Pittsburgh (ie. not as good as the real Pittsburgh). I read somewhere that Brian St. Pierre may be joining them too.
• Love, love, love Dan Rooney’s perspective on several key issues that will arise at the owners meetings. Winning the division SHOULD matter, that’s why we have them. The integrity of the game is paramount to it’s longevity. Seriously, give the defense a chance…I like defense. I’d love to hear his position on the “hair” issue.
