The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed free-agent linebacker Keyaron Fox to a one-year contract. Fox played the past four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs after being drafted in the third round in 2004. He's expected to be a backup linebacker and play on special teams, the same role he filled for the Chiefs. -- The Associated Press

As Parker's confidence slips so must his grip on the starting tailback job and his fantasy value, no??? From "The REAL Feed":

This may not seem to bare any fantasy relevance, but it is said that success starts at the top... From "The REAL Feed":

Financier bids to buy majority interest in Steelers (http://cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/story/10891055/rss)
CBS SportsLine.com NFL News (08.07.2008 21:32)
A deal could be reached within days to sell a majority interest in the Pittsburgh Steelers to the chairman of a Pittsburgh-based investment firm, taking control of the NFL franchise away from the Rooney family.

To me, this is a sad day... :'( The Rooneys rock...

Takin' inventory... Batch out... Leftwich in... ;D From "The REAL Feed":

Leftwich gets through 1st practice with Steelers (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/football/nfl/wires/08/11/2020.ap.fbn.steelers.leftwich.0511/index.html)

In my humble (or not ;)) opinion, old lefty is a Steelers-type QB. If only for Big Ben, he'd be a good fit. They got a great backup, in any event, as I see it. [smiley=yes.gif]

As far as handcuffs go, I'd rather have Lefty on my roster than Batch.
