Thousands of Articles and Hundreds of Podcasts – 10 Years Covering the Steelers

I suppose the word “covering” isn’t appropriate. I don’t have the ability to actually see the Pittsburgh Steelers everyday as do the men and women who are in Pittsburgh and have media credentials. Maybe the better term is “opining?” Because that’s more about what we do here at Steel City Blitz. We offer opinions on everything the Pittsburgh Steelers do or don’t do. We believe our opinions are educated and well-thought. Regardless, we’ve been doing this for over a decade now.

When I started SCB, the goal was never to be the biggest or even the best Steelers’ blog out there. My goal was simple. Be honest and realistic about everything the organization does. From the action on the field to the decisions made at the highest level of the franchise, we weren’t going to blow sunshine up your ass. Our approach hasn’t always been appreciated by some and that’s totally fine. We aren’t out to get ‘likes’ and ‘retweets’ by players as some are. We simply want to use the years of expertise we have to form well-educated opinions.

Because we aren’t tied to national blog networks, I had to rely on donations and sponsorships to help pay for the costs to run the site properly. I remain truly grateful to those that helped me early on and I love that we continue to have strong relationships Frank Walker Law, DEK Roofing Inc and Gryffin the King! Their sponsorships make life so much easier for me and all of us at SCB. I am also thankful for The Pigskin Podcast Network and Draft Kings Sportsbook. They’ve helped our podcast grow to new heights. After all, we are just a bunch of guys drinking and talking Steelers every week.

I’ve had the opportunity through this venture to meet some incredible people and have some experiences I would have never had. There are too many to name for fear I’d forget someone, but I sincerely hope they know who they are. If you happen to think you’re one of them then please do! I must of course mention Matt, the guy who is responsible for me getting into this mess back in our old Steeler Addicts days. He remains a great friend 15 years later. Thank you also to Chrissy who does all of the ‘behind the scenes’ things you never see. She’s been with me since day one believe it or not. And of course thank you to the current crew of misfits whose love of the Steelers led them to me. Thanks to Dan at DC4L Custom Tees for setting us up with a storefront and literally turning any idea we have into reality.

In closing, I fully realize this is becoming a ‘young person’s game’ now but I don’t have any intentions of stopping. You don’t come here for ‘breaking news’ and I don’t want you to either. Come here for opinions and ideas and knowledge that is well-thought and researched. Come here for some laughs and most importantly, come here for honest, pragmatic takes.

Looking forward to another decade of Steelers’ football. Thank you!

Marc
