Baltimore coach John Harbaugh, who has a long-standing relationship with Ben Roethlisberger – both are Miami (Ohio) products – said he was just joking around when he said he was glad the Ravens had broken the quarterback's nose during their game at M&T Bank Stadium earlier this season.
Roethlisberger took it that way as well.
© In something that is sure to be played up in New England next week, Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs said Tuesday that the winner of the Baltimore-Pittsburgh game will win the Super Bowl.
If Suggs truly believes that - and there's no reason to suggest he doesn't - he just put a lot of added pressure on himself and his teammates.
If they don't win on Saturday, it's one thing.
But if they do, he gave Bill Belechick and Tom Brady some nice bulletin board material.
© Not that this is a real big deal, but the Steelers signed six players to futures contracts for the 2011 season, including linebacker Mortty Ivy, who played at Gateway High School in Monroeville and West Virginia University.
Also signed were linebacker Baraka Atkins, running back James Johnson, guard Kevin McCaskill, fullback/tight end Jamie McCoy and cornerback Donovan Warren.
None of these guys is seen as much more than practice fodder, but they will get an opportunity to open some eyes – if there's not a lockout.

I too would like to thank Rex Ryan and the New York Jets for giving even more motivation to the New England Patriots and ensuring that none of the other teams have a chance to win the AFC.
I remember Donovan Warren being hyped as a high-round pick in early mock drafts last year. Supposedly has character concerns.
Speaking of drafts, what are the chances Baltimore trades their next five #1 picks to move up and get Nick Fairley? He's the ultimate Raven, dirty and has a big mouth.
And then Harrison goes and publicly agrees with Suggs. Whatever. Get a sack or two on Saturday. Not that any of it means anything, it's just annoying.
Harbaugh is such a tool
I like Harbaugh, but I may be in the minority there.
I liked Billick as well, for different reasons. I always liked the way he tweaked Cowher.
