Ex-Steelers QB Russell Wilson says three qualities make HC Mike Tomlin special
Ex-Steelers QB Russell Wilson says three qualities make HC Mike Tomlin special While many believe HC Mike Tomlin's 'winning records' are overrated, ex-Steelers QB Russell Wilson would strongly disagree. Wilson, who recently appeared on the 7PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony podcast, was asked to explain what makes Tomlin a 'steadying force' in the NFL — and the former Steeler and current Giants QB had this to say: 'I think there are three things about Mike Tomlin that are special. I think the first thing is his ability, his obsession, and his work ethic. He's there early — at 4:30 in the morning — watching film himself. Like, head coaches don't do that,' Wilson explained. 'That's the first thing. I think the second thing is his ability to connect to players — his ability to have connectivity, his ability to relate to the Black kid, to the white kid, to the guy that's been successful, to the guy that's just starting,' Wilson argued. 'I think ultimately, the [third] thing that's really unique about him is, you know, the ability to embrace the noise — to embrace the obstacle. He stares it right in the face and doesn't run from it.' Tomlin definitely personifies hard work, relatability, and embracing challenging situations — but there's been little playoff success that has come out of it.

Trump doubles tariffs on steel to 50%
(NewsNation) — During Friday's rally, President Trump announced an imminent 25% tariff increase on foreign steel entering the U.S., to 50% as a means to 'further secure the steel industry in the United States.' Trump spoke in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, following a 'blockbuster deal' allowing Japan-based company Nippon Steel to invest in U.S. Steel, a Pittsburgh-based company. The president said it would bring in 'billions and billions of dollars' in steel equipment to the United States. During the speech, Trump said all steel workers will keep their jobs, and all facilities in the U.S. 'will remain open and thriving.' California launches new tourism program In addition, every steel worker in the nation will receive a $5,000 bonus, the president added. Though Trump initially vowed to block the Japanese steelmaker's bid to buy Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel, he changed course and announced an agreement last week for what he described as 'partial ownership' by Nippon. It was previously unclear if the deal was brokered by the Trump administration, but the president intimated he had great involvement in striking the accord. 'U.S. steel will continue to be controlled by the U.S.A. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done the deal, I wouldn't have done it,' Trump said. Trump commended Japan for its positive working relationship with his administration across both terms.

Steelers rookie DT Derrick Harmon spotted shadowing Cam Heyward at OTAs
Steelers rookie DT Derrick Harmon spotted shadowing Cam Heyward at OTAs Derrick Harmon is trying to follow in Cam Heyward's footsteps — literally — as the rookie defensive tackle shadowed the veteran Steeler throughout OTAs. PennLive's Nick Farabaugh reported that the mentorship was similar to how T.J. Watt took Nick Herbig under his wing — wherever Heyward went, Harmon followed. For the Steelers rookie, it's simple: he just wants to learn from as many veteran minds as possible. "I told them I'm asking questions," Harmon told reporters on Thursday. "That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to learn." The Steelers rookie has an ingenious recipe for success — leaning on Heyward's 14 NFL seasons as an invaluable resource. Harmon recently appeared on the podcast Not Just Football with Cam Heyward and spoke highly of watching the veteran Steelers DT growing up — as well as letting everyone know that he's looking forward to stopping Ravens RB Derrick Henry in 2025.
