David DeCastro's phone was ringing. On the other end was a two-time Super Bowl champion and the man DeCasto was drafted to protect. The Stanford guard, selected No. 24 by the Pittsburgh Steelers in Thursday's NFL draft, was getting a congratulatory call from Ben Roethlisberger.

DeCastro answered and Roethlisberger welcomed him to the team. The rookie's response? "Did you get those flight plans?"

DeCastro thought Roethlisberger was the team's traveling coordinator booking his flight to Pittsburgh for his introductory press conference. He apparently didn't realize he was receiving a call from someone a little higher up on the franchise's organizational flowchart.

"He was saying, 'Did you get those flight plans? Did you get those flight plans?''' Roethlisberger told a group at the Blair County Convention Center over the weekend. After a few seconds, DeCastro figured it out.

"I can't wait once we get started to get on him about that,'' Roethlisberger joked, thus ensuring that DeCastro won't go a single day of training camp without hearing his six-word question.

RR hopefully this guy plays better football than knowing who his starting QB is.

Yes Larry she is in the middle of moving and I guess her presence is being missed. Cindy is doing fine, shes a Panthers fan. They are a tough breed. lol

Irrational Harbaugh aside, titles of Patriots, Saints aren't tainted

By the time Vilmas suspension is over he should be ready to call it quits. Football wont be the same. Everytime a Saints player makes a hit people will wonder is it a Bounty?

Looks like Bassman01 stretched out his lead again.  But that pesky Gilmore guy kicked us both on the week.

Hey Hangout!

I need to pay my respects to Junior Seau, one of the greats to ever play the game and one of my heroes growing up.  What made him snap?  He had more money than he could ever spend, the prestige of being an all-time great linebacker, and most importantly three great kids.  Maybe it was the concussions..or maybe we'll never know.  Rest in Peace Junior Seau, #55.

A very sad thing that happened blitz. Seau was a great player and person. The concussions will be looked at real hard. The NFL is getting pretty tough on helmet to helmet hits.

Danica Patrick wrecked Sam Hornish Jr. -- on what seemed intentional -- at the end of Talladega's Nationwide race. Should NASCAR discipline her?

I don't think so, it was a little tap that got him loose and into the wall.  Now if she buried her fender onder his and turned him hard, then maybe.  But Sam drove her up 4 lanes and into the wall as well, so I think that is just part of NASCAR's "Have at it Boys" rule.

As long as Danica is playing nicely with the boys.

Hello BBG good to see you. Do we know each other?

It's wednesday fantasy golf people. Better take a few minutes to go shoot the breeze with old Tom and while you are there make sure your golfers are ready.

Is it BBG is Mrs. Blitz, or is Blitz Mr. BurghGal?  I'm guessing the later.  LOL Laughing
