STEELER QB COACH KEN ANDERSON RETIRES

Steeler coach Mike Tomlin has officially lost his first assistant in his three years on the job, as QB coach Ken Anderson has retired at age 60.

Anderson, who came on board with Tomlin in 2007, was also a very accomplished player in the league, winning the NFL MVP in 1981 and gaining spots on four Pro Bowls. He is one of 25 finalists for induction into the Hall of Fame in 2010. Prior to joining the Steelers, Anderson was a longtime assistant for both Cincinnati (1993-2002) and Jacksonville (2003-2006).

This bit of information was the biggest news from today's final Tomlin press conference of the 2009-10 season. Tomlin said he is in the beginning of the off-season review process, and that no other moves have been made. So for now, Bruce Arians is still your offensive coordinator, and Dick LeBeau looks like he'll be back as defensive coordinator in 2010.

WANNY WOULD BE PROUD

The Steelers are sporting mustaches and '70s/'80s style hair of late in a tribute to QB coach Ken Anderson, who used to look like this:

and now looks like this:

Roethlisberger sure has perfected the "interesting" look over the years, with his less-than-formal attire at occasions that would call for it, perennial backwards ballcap (shockingly not present in this photo), and countless varieties of creative facial hair. Personally, I wouldn't care if he looked like Quasimodo before, during, or after the game, as long as he wins. If a porn-stache gives you that mental edge to beat Ray-Ray on Sunday, then let it grow, let it grow. I'm sure Vintage John Steigerwald would give the idea his seal of approval.

PS: Totally unrelated but worth a mention, today is the 37th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception. Celebrate responsibly.
