Much maligned Antwon Blake is burned often but sometimes does make some plays. In Sunday’s game against the Bengals he was solid on back to back plays on the Bengals’ opening drive. In the first he makes an open field tackle to stop a long run. He did get bulldozed a bit, but still made the tackle, notable for someone who allegedly can’t tackle. In the next play he tracks the receiver on a deep route to the end zone – even turning to look for the ball – and prevents a catch.

Cam Heyward, class act that he is, has decided to stop wearing his signature Iron Head eye black, and instead is teaming with eyeblack.com to sell customized eye black with proceeds going to charity. Under pressure and fines from the NFL league office, Heyward felt this was the right move as he was never intending to obtain publicity for himself but rather was making a simple personal tribute to his late father, running back Iron Head Heyward, who died of brain cancer at age 39.
Steel Balls recommends that every Steeler fan purchase a set of Iron Head eye black, to wear along with your other Steelers gear. There is no better way to honor Cam than to help him to honor his father while also contributing to a good cause. If Roger Goodell happens to find himself embarrassed on national TV when the cameras pan to show a crowd of towel waving, eye black wearing fans, that would just be a happy bonus, and a fantastic return on investment for a mere $3.99. 50% of all sales will be donated to the Heyward House, which in turn will be donated to Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and Southeastern Brain Tumor foundation.
The Iron Head eye black is available at eyeblack.com. I’m ordering mine today. Spread the word!
