Football Sunday: Mike Wallace Patch

The Steelers are facing the Chicago Bears tonight as part of the Sunday Night Football lineup.  They're going up against a very strong defense and the Steelers offense has really been struggling this year.  Part of it is the lack of a running game, but another part is the plays that Mike Wallace was able to make.  Wallace is a speedster that helped change the offensive mindset when he was on the field.  Wallace was able to open up the field a lot as a target for Big Ben.  The Steelers are currently 0-2 to start the season which they haven't done in over a decade.  Let's hope they can turn things around today.

The above Mike Wallace patch was purchased on ebay over the summer for $6 shipped.  I couldn't pass it up because something about me just loves those throwback uniforms.

Q is for Quarter. That's good enough for me...

I'm trying to build up my Steelers collection.  There's a few players that I really like that always seem to find their way into the quarter bins, Heath Miller and Hines Ward.  Despite having great careers, these guys always end up in the quarter bins.  That's fine with me.  Unfortunately this time around I only found one Jerome "The Bus" Bettis.

Goodbye Mr. Wallace

It was reported by Yahoo news that former Pro Bowl Wide Receiver Mike Wallace will be leaving the Steel City for sunny Florida in the 2013 football season.  I wish Mike the best, but feel that by sitting out during camp he damaged his performance last year and any hopes of staying with the Steelers beyond the 2012 season.  Best of luck to you though Mike. 

Here's 2/3 of the Mike Wallace Trifecta I was starting to complete.  Just need a basic rookie card to complete it and be done with this.
