Posted in It’s kind of sad to see Willie Parker beg the Steelers to “resign 39,” and encourage fans to do the same.

“Fast” Willie Going Fast Down the Depth Chart in Washington

The End Near for Willie Parker?
Last night in Denver Willie Parker stood on the sidelines most of the night, never having to break a sweat. He played only one play to the best of my knowledge, and didn’t get a carry. Could this be a sign of things to come? Parker, who is in the last year of his deal, [...]
Parker May Practice as Early as Wednesday

One thing that you would not expect to hear in Steeler Nation: the prospects of a running back controversy. After all, the typical Steelers RB depth chart these days is usually Willie Parker, Rashard Mendenhall and one with possibly another RB bringing up the rear. But the rumor was floating out there that perhaps Parker [...]
Parker Sits w/ Back Spasms; Woodley Sits w/ Swelling in Knee
Steelers starting RB Willie Parker just didn’t feel right waking up Saturday night, but should be okay. Parker missed Saturday’s session with back spasms, although the team says it should not be a major problem. Coach Mike Tomlin said Parker woke up with his back not feeling right. The Steelers had their first and only [...]
