| Tuesday, July 26, 2011 By Ed Bouchette and Ray Fittipaldo, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette All along the Steelers privately expressed confidence that they would re-sign Ike Taylor and tonight they came through by agreeing to a four-year contract with their best cornerback over the past decade. Money terms were not immediately available. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11207/1163185-66.stm?cmpid=steelers.xml ------------------ I'll be the first to admit ... I thought for sure Ike was leaving. "I'm coming to join you, Elizabeth!!"  _________________  If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |

| Terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but unless Ike gave them a hometown discount, I'm still a little surprised he was re-signed. We know the Steelers don't shell out big money for aging veterans, and Ike could have gotten more money elsewhere. And I'm surprised he didn't even test free agency (unless talks were being conducted on the sly during the lockout). Either way, I've always liked Ike, and my respect for him just grew even more.  _________________ If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |

| I believe that Ike realized that the only teams that were going to give him the big money contracts were teams like the browns, bungals, lions...and he didn't want to give up the chance to show his 'swagger' for a more talented levied team like the Steelers. _________________  60 MIN 53 MEN 1 NATION STEELERS NATION  I am the MAN that created the MYTH that started the LEGEND
