Steelers Depot Daily Segment. A quick recap of a Pittsburgh Steelers story that doesn’t require a full article, but is worth mentioning and passing along to you.
It’s Depot After Dark on July 11th.
Duck quack
Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin “Duck” Hodges has a request for the Steelers. He tweeted last night that the team would invite him and girlfriend, country music star Lainie Wilson, to wave Terrible Towels before Steelers games.
“Victory guaranteed,” he tweeted.
Hodges said he’d like to have a game like that against the Browns.
Then it’s Week 14 against the Steelers on December 8th. Pittsburgh, it’s your turn.
Belichick joins Clark
Bill Belichick won’t be a head coach this season, but he’s keeping a close eye on the NFL. Belichick announced a new job as an analyst on The CW’s “Inside The NFL” with Ryan Clark, a weekly segment where he interviews players and breaks down the week’s biggest storylines.
“I’m thrilled to join the new team at NFL Films and to be working on such a historic television franchise,” Belichick said, via NFL reporter Aaron Wilson.
Clark was named host of the show. Last August. He will continue to be an analyst for ESPN and co-host of the popular The Pivot podcast. It would be really fun to have Belichick on the show for that interview.
Derrick Henry Lift
Despite being in his 30s and juggling a massive career workload, new Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry shows no signs of slowing down. Shared on the NFL Twitter/X account, Henry posted a video of himself doing an intense gym workout. It’s not his first workout, and it certainly won’t be his last.
Henry will be the Ravens’ lead back this season. He signed a two-year contract with Baltimore early in the offseason. In 2023, he threw for 1,167 yards and 12 touchdowns for the Tennessee Titans. Henry led the NFL in carries the past two seasons.
Pittsburgh is scheduled to play Baltimore in Weeks 11 and 16.
Goodell on the lawsuit
For the first time since the NFL ruled against the Sunday Ticket lawsuit, Commissioner Roger Goodell has commented on the outcome. In an interview with CNBC Thursday morning, Goodell said he and the league “obviously disagree” with the outcome.
He said it was a “long process” and the league would appeal.
“We feel very strongly about our stance, our policies, particularly on media,” he said, calling the Sunday Ticket a “complementary product.”
A post-trial hearing is scheduled for July 31. The case is likely to continue in the courts for years to come as the league tries to avoid paying more than $14 billion in damages.
