Steelers players reveal their NBA Finals predictions: Pacers vs. Thunder
As the NBA Finals rage on — the Pittsburgh Steelers have weighed in on the exciting matchup between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder. Ahead of Game 3 on June 11, the Steelers asked their players to decide which NBA team will walk away victorious and recorded their answers. Here is the final tally of votes: Indiana Pacers: 5 votes Cam Heyward, Beanie Bishop Jr., James Pierre, and two others picked the Pacers to win the best-of-seven series — which may have provided Indiana with just enough good luck to walk away victorious in Game 3 later that night. Oklahoma City Thunder: 11 votes There is definitely a lot of OKC love in the Steelers locker room — as Calvin Austin III, Darnell Washington, Alex Highsmith, Patrick Queen, Nick Herbig, Broderick Jones, Jaylen Warren, and four more voted for the Thunder to win the NBA Finals. Honorable mention: Minkah Fitzpatrick was the last Steeler to cast his vote, and he said he'd pick the New York Knicks to win it all if they were in the Finals.

Will Steelers punish CB Beanie Bishop Jr. for cleat stomping Pitt logo? Insider weighs in
Will Steelers punish CB Beanie Bishop Jr. for cleat stomping Pitt logo? Insider weighs in The Backyard Brawl rivalry is alive and well — as Steelers CB and former WVU Mountaineer Beanie Bishop stomped and dragged his cleats on the Pitt logo at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. The Steelers share their training facility with Pitt football — which could force the team to take action against their second-year CB. However, one insider close to the situation argued that may not be the case. According to Andrew Fillipponi of 93.7 The Fan, insider Jeff Hathhorn '…does not expect Beanie Bishop to be disciplined by the Steelers for his cleat stomping incident at Pitt.' General field quality concerns aside, you have to wonder if this would even be a discussion had the Steelers not been forced to share a training facility with the University of Pittsburgh in the first place. Should Bishop face consequences for his actions against the University of Pittsburgh — or is this just the cost of doing business with players who know the Backyard Brawl all too well?
