Steelers-Rams game delayed after pyrotechnics display sets game turf on fire (VIDEO)

Sunday's Steelers-Rams game in St. Louis was delayed almost 25 minutes after pregame pyrotechnics set a patch of the artificial turf on fire during the Rams entry to the Edward Jones Dome field.


The fire extinguisher reportedly left skin irritants all over the artificial grass and the start time was pushed back to vacuum it all up.
Count your blessings. These special effects guys could be shooting off the cannon at Tampa Bay Buccaneers games.

Robert Kraft, 'Deflategate' judge mingle at Hamptons soiree: Report

It's only natural for Robert Kraft  to huddle up with the man who just might be the New England Patriots MVP this season — and it isn't Tom Brady.

The NFL team owner was spotted mingling with Judge Richard Berman, the jurist who overturned the league's suspension of Brady over his alleged role in Deflategate, at a Hamptons Labor Day party full of media and business power brokers, reports Page Six of the New York Post.

You might remember Berman from this court rendering:


The two were seen chatting at Discovery Communications chief David Zaslav and his wife Pam’s party at their East Hampton estate, also attended by Oprah Winfrey, Martha Stewart, Harvey Weinstein, Lloyd Blankfeinrich, NY Giants co-owner Jon Tisch and wife Lizzie, Katie Couric, and a host of other really powerful people.

Roger Goodell was no where in sight.


Brady won the court battle last week, after Berman criticized the NFL Commissioner for “dispensing his own brand of industrial justice.” The ruling clears the Pats' quarterback to play in Thursday’s season opener against the Steelers.

"It was a chance encounter at a social event with hundreds of guests," a rep told Page Six. "There was a brief introduction and an exchange of pleasantries that lasted no more than a couple of minutes."

Guests reportedly headed down to a beach bonfire, where the  Discovery’s “Shark Week” was celebrated with a soaring shark sand sculpture.

Rex Ryan directs F-bomb at Steelers player after win (VIDEO)

When the Jets lined up in a victory formation to cement Sunday's 20-13 upset over the Steelers, Pittsburgh’s Mike Mitchell wasn’t quite ready to accept the reality of defeat.

The Steelers safety vaulted over the Jets’ line as the ball was snapped and was promptly body-slammed by center Nick Mangold, which ignited some pushing and shoving from both sides:



During the post-game handshakes, Jets coach Rex Ryan let the Steelers know how he felt with an easy to make out F-Bomb — probably directed at Mitchell:



For once you have to agree with ol' Rex's choice of words.

Michael Vick shows Brice McCain he still knows how to break some ankles (VIDEO)

Even at 34-years-old, Michael Vick can still break some ankles, something Brice McCain found out the hard way on Sunday.



On a second-and-11 play in the first quarter, Vick dropped back to pass and couldn't find anyone open, so he took off scrambling. That's when he left the Steelers cornerback feeling a little wobbly.

Nik Wallenda breaks two death-defying tightrope records while blindfolded (VIDEO)

For those of you who think Ben Roethlisberger's second straight game throwing six touchdowns Sunday night was pretty grandiose, ask yourself, "Could he do it blindfolded?

Well that's exactly how Nik Wallenda successfully did a nerve-wracking, daredevil high-wire challenge airing at the same time as the Steelers-Ravens game last night. Wearing a blindfold!



Wallenda (of the famed family of highwire performers) crossed the Chicago River on a tightrope at a height of more than 50 stories — walking at a 19-degree incline for the Discovery Channel. He made it more difficult by doing it blindfolded and without a safety harness or net between the west and east Marina City towers. 



The man with real nerves of steel slid his feet along the wire and followed a pinging sound as his father guided him. Footage, airing on the Discovery Channel, ran on a 10-second delay so producers could cut away if he fell to his death. He said his only back-up plan if things went wrong would be to attempt to kneel and cling to the wire with his feet.





Even while Wallenda was still carefully shuffling his way across the Chicago River, that bastion of information, Wikipedia, already declared him dead. 



And other social media commentators quipped about Chicago's reputation for gun violence — saying Wallenda was safer 50 flights above the street than trying to walk across it.


Here's the view Wallenda missed seeing:

Steelers fan wears jersey with mixed messages about 'your mom' (PHOTO)

This photo of a Steelers fan wearing a jersey with a few slightly mixed messages was posted Monday on Reddit with the caption: "I bet he gets all the ladies."

And it's hard to figure where this guy's sentiments are.

The No. 69 with "YOURMOM" across the back seems so wrong until you notice the little Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon tacked to the back of the collar — which sort of renews your faith in the guy.

Still not sure.


It's difficult to know what this dude is trying to say but, keep your mother away just the same.

Steelers lineman sued for herpes, blames sores on 'zipper malfunction': Report

Pittsburgh Steelers nose tackle Cam Thomas is being sued for allegedly giving his ex-girlfriend genital herpes and reportedly lying to her about it.

The woman known as "Adrienne" claims the 27-year-old Thomas said the "puss-filled bumps on his buttocks and inner thigh" were the result of sweat buildup and that the noticeable sores on his penis came from a zipper accident, in a report filed in San Diego and obtained by TMZ Sports.

Thomas — who started 10 games for Pittsburgh last year — has vehemently denied the allegations through his legal team, who say the woman is only after money.

Either way, this is just TMI about STDs from TMZ.




Adrienne claims she dated Thomas in 2010 when he played for the San Diego Chargers
and that the two would often have unprotected sex.

According to the lawsuit, she had a health check up in December 2010 and the results were all clear.

Then in February 2012 she tested positive for genital herpes.

Adrienne maintains Thomas is the only person that she could have contracted the disease from.

In her suit, Adrienne also claims Thomas was physically abusive during their relationship.
However, she never went to police to file a complaint.

She's suing for sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraud through intentional concealment and negligence.

Adrienne is seeking unspecified damages. Thomas said he will fight the claims in court.
