Bid for Hope IX:

Heath Miller and his lovely wife Katie will once again host this event on October 18th 2010 at Bossa Nova. It is sponsored through A Glimmer of Hope and proceeds benefit the “Under Forty Breast Cancer Study”.

The evening includes both a live and a silent auction so fans can bid on autographed Steelers memorabilia, a “Meet & Greet” with Steelers players, and great food and drinks!

“It’s for a great cause,” said Heath Miller, whose cousin successfully battled the disease. “It’s something that has been a part of the Steelers for a while now. It’s such a good thing. It’s important for us to contribute.”

Heath will be there with many of his teammates. Previous attendees have included teammates Ben Roethlisberger, Brett Keisel, and Troy Polamalu. Also, Alan Faneca, who previously hosted the event, normally returns to Pittsburgh to join the cause.

Quotes of the Day:

From Coach Tomlin’s press conference this afternoon when asked if Ben will provide a boost to morale –

“He always does because he’s a ridiculous competitor. When he has an opportunity to compete, you feel him in the room, or in the stadium. It’s one of the interesting attributes about him as a player and a person. When faced with adversity, when given an opportunity to compete, man he does. I think guys feed off of that.”


Ben joking about Mike Wallace’s new haircut, from an article in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review this morning –

“I was excited to come to work because he said he might do it this weekend. We had a deal if he got 1,000 yards (receiving), he would cut it. He looks better. He looks like a nice, young man. Before he looked a little crazy and wild.”
