Registration is still open for the training camp with the Steelers quarterback at Seneca Valley High School.
The third time is a charm for Ben Roethlisberger. The Steelers quarterback is returning to Seneca Valley to host a youth football training camp for boys and girls ages 7 to 14 at the district's NexTier Stadium. Roethlisberger also hosted camps at the high school in 2011 and 2012. This year’s camp will take place from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. June 17-18. The cost is $199 per kid. Roethlisberger, who will be joined by a selection of the top prep and college coaches at the camp, also will give daily talks highlighting the finer points of the game of football and beyond. And you never know who may show up to join him. Last year, the Steelers' Brett Keisel tossed footballs and coached mini-games for campers. Backup quarterback Charlie Batch and …

Emily Randall and Joshua Gonzalez are also accused of stealing a debit card.
A Wexford woman is accused of stealing a debit card with the help of her boyfriend, purchasing nearly $5,000 in Pittsburgh Steelers tickets online and selling fakes through Craigslist. Emily Randall, 18, of Franklin Park, recently appered in Leetsdale District Court and waived charges of theft, receiving stolen property, access device fraud, identity theft and criminal conspiracy. Police said charges were also filed against Randall's boyfriend, Joshua Gonzalez, 24, but he has not been located. Police reported Randall and Gonzalez were invited Sept. 29 to a Lindenwood residence by someone visiting, when they took a debit card from the homeowner’s purse.

Do we root against Ray Lewis, whose career with the Baltimore Ravens has angered Yinzers for 17 years, or do we root against the 49ers so they don’t match the Steelers with six Super Bowl titles?
Judgment Day has come for Yinzers across Steeler Nation in Super Bowl XLVII. Do we root against Ray Lewis, whose career with the Baltimore Ravens has angered Yinzers for 17 years, or do we root against the 49ers so they don’t match the Steelers with six Super Bowl titles? It’s a tough choice. Lewis, one of the greatest linebackers in NFL history, has a torrid history with the law after he was arrested on murder charges in 2000. Those charges were eventually dropped and Lewis pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice. But what might stick in the craw of every Pittsburgher is when Lewis mocked Joey Porter’s kick celebration in 2003. Porter, the former Steelers linebacker who was injured after being shot earlier in that year, thought Lewis was…

Ugh, tough decision. Which is the lesser of two hard choices—a Ray Lewis win or allowing the 49ers to match Pittsburgh in Super Bowl rings? We’ll let you decide.
We know, we know, it’s hard for Steelers fans to root for any team that isn’t theirs in the Super Bowl—especially when one of those teams is the Ravens. Still, either Baltimore or the San Francisco 49ers has to win Sunday’s big game in New Orleans. And we want to know, is it better to give the win to the Ravens and Ray Lewis (shudder) or the Niners. If the Ravens win, well, no true Steelers fan wants that to happen. It also would give the legendary linebacker Lewis—he of the murder trial and now deer antler spray controversy—a final win before he retires. Can you say yuck? Ray-Ray, now that you’re retiring, can you promise we’ll never have to see you dance to “Hot in Herre” when you step on the field at M&T Bank Stadium ever again? On …

Local stars Brett Keisel, Troy Polamalu and, of course, Charlie Batch search for the “true meaning of the season” in this Charlie Brown parody.
As the playoffs draw closer, Pittsburgh’s favorite backup quarterback is searching for the true “meaning of the season” this Christmas—at least on YouTube. A new parody of the classic A Charlie Brown Christmas features "Peanuts"-inspired versions of some of your favorite Steelers from Patch communities, including Brett Keisel (Cranberry area) and Troy Polamalu (Pine). The video stars Charlie Batch, who asks a beard-petting Keisel, as well as new father Ben Roethlisberger, to help him find the true meaning of the Steelers season. “The playoffs season is coming up and this whole team has stopped believing,” the Batch character complains. The parody also features a thumb-sucking Mike Wallace (go figure!) and Polamalu as piano-playing …
