Pittsburgh Steelers' Beanie Bishop Explains Why He Disgraced Pittsburgh Panthers' Logo
Pittsburgh Steelers' Beanie Bishop Explains Why He Disgraced Pittsburgh Panthers' Logo originally appeared on Athlon Sports. One of the most bitter rivalries in all of college football is the Backyard Brawl, played between the West Virginia Mountaineers and the Pittsburgh Panthers. Advertisement The two schools have faced off in the rivalry 107 times, dating back to 1895. The game was played annually from 1943 to 2011, before Pitt joined the Big East and West Virginia joined the Big 12. The rivalry was reignited with a four-game series from 2022 to 2025, and the two schools have agreed to play another four game set from 2029 to 2032. Pitt leads the series 63-41-3, including a 15-game winning streak from 1929-1946. It's one of the most heated rivalries in college football, and arguably the most intense rivalry in the eastern United States. Pittsburgh Steelers' cornerback Beanie Bishop, a former Mountaineer, posted himself wiping his cleats on Pitts' logo, which started a social media frenzy. 'It's a rivalry, obviously people are not going to like me based on what school I went to and that's fine,' Bishop told Steelers media on Wednesday. 'It's part of the rivalry. We don't like those guys and they don't like us. I don't really have any liking for those guys, that's part of it... Advertisement "...That's self-explanatory. If you go and ask them, they probably hate me. Do I care? No, not really?" Bishop continued. "That's just part of it. If you go ask any fan in Baltimore 'what do they think about the Steelers?' They hate us. It is what it is. It's part of the rivalry. I'm only concerned with the Pittsburgh Steelers fans and West Virginia fans in that instance.' The Steelers hold their training camp at the UMPC Rooney Sports Complex, a facility shared by both the Steelers and the Panthers. Bishop must feel like practicing behind enemy lines, training on Panthers turf. Bishop also noted on Tuesday that he does not enjoy having Pitt players and coaches watch him practice. "It's hatred. You don't have respect for those guys." Bishop told Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Christopher Carter. "I don't even like seeing their coaches and players watching us practice ... I don't think it should be week 2 or week 3. It should be part of rivalry week."

Pittsburgh Steelers' Offensive Trio Ranked a Bottom-5 Unit in the NFL
Pittsburgh Steelers' Offensive Trio Ranked a Bottom-5 Unit in the NFL originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Steelers did not have a great contingency plan in place if Aaron Rodgers chose not to sign with the Steelers. Luckily for the Steelers, Rodgers agreed to come to Pittsburgh on Thursday. Advertisement If Rodgers opted to go elsewhere or retire from football, it would have either been career backup Mason Rudolph or rookie Will Howard taking starting snaps under center; neither an ideal option. The Steelers have some decent skill talent around Rodgers. The offseason acquisition of DK Metcalf gives the Steelers a No. 1 option, despite trading away George Pickens. Robert Woods has been a steady contributor as a wideout for over a decade, and with the departure of Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren will finally take the reigns as the lead back for the Steelers. SI ranked each NFL team's top offensive triplets prior to the Rodgers' news, assuming that Mason Rudolph would be the starting quarterback, paired with Warren and Metcalf. The Steelers' trio ranked as a bottom-five unit in the NFL, with the No. 28 ranking. "Pittsburgh will shoot up the rankings if Aaron Rodgers joins the Black & Gold,'' the site wrote. "Rudolph is holding this offense back as he's a good backup but a poor starting option. Warren is a better back than some realize, having rushed for 4.3 YPC last year on 120 attempts. Metcalf is an enormous acquisition, coming off a year in Seattle where he posted 66 receptions for 992 yards over 15 games." Advertisement The real question is: with Rodgers, how much would the Steelers move up in this ranking? They rank right behind Indianapolis' Anthony Richardson, Jonathan Taylor and Michael Pittman Jr., New York's Justin Fields, Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson, and Denver's Bo Nix, RJ Harvey, and Courtland Sutton. Pittsburgh likely clears Indiana, but it's hard to argue they'd jump the Jets. Wilson is one of the NFL's best young receivers, and Breece Hall has been a scrimmage-yard machine since entering the NFL. Fields brings down New York's ranking, but after Rodgers' 5-12 campaign for the Jets, it's hard to imagine he'd bump the Steelers up a ton, especially with Warren coming off a down year in terms of production and efficiency.
