It's called: Going Deep: An Introspective Steelers Site I'll let the founder of the site, Ms. Rebecca Rollett describe the site herself:
You won’t find breaking news on our site, although we have a twitter
feed on the sidebar to keep you up-to-the-minute : ) But the fact is, you can
find “breaking” news on most of the existing sites.
What we offer is a place to take an in-depth look at any aspects of the
organization which catch our fancy. As writers, we all have different
viewpoints and interests, and we want to generate a discussion about the things
that intrigue us. So as much as anything, this is a place for conversations. In
fact, I suppose it is more like a virtual Steelers coffeehouse than anything
else. Since it doesn’t seem to exist elsewhere, we decided to create our own.
If you're looking for more than just news, gossip or the
usual pabulum the "major media" outlets provide; if you're looking
for something deeper, you'll find it at this site. The authors are seasoned writers who honed
their voices elsewhere on the Intraweb, but found themselves dissatisfied with
the "breaking news" mad rush, and the washing away of substantive pieces
from other sites' main screen just to feed the insatiable appetite for mouse
clicks.
At Going Deep: An Introspective Steelers Site you will find
a wide array of articles that don't merely repeat what you've seen on Twitter
or Yahoo, but instead take a fresh, different and deeper look at what many
accept as commonplace. For example:
...or...
Character
(Ac)Counts - an ongoing series of articles that introduce rookies to
Steeler Nation, but goes behind the uniform to give a glimpse of the men
underneath
This is a fledgling site that's only been up for a few
weeks, so it's still developing its look, but you should definitely add it to
your list of Pittsburgh Steelers sites to check out. I should caution you however, that you will need
to set aside some time for this site; not only to read the articles in their
entirety but also to give yourself time to contemplate what it is that you have
read.
The authors at this site don't produce fluff; their work
requires a great deal of research and effort on their part, and can be quite
lengthy. But, and I mean this sincerely,
you will be glad you made time for their work.
