HEINZ FIELD GRASS SAYS IT'S READY FOR NEW SEASON

NORTH SHORE - After several years of lackluster performance, the grass field at the Steelers' stadium says it's ready for a grueling season ahead.
Since the stadium opened, the field has consistently been at the bottom of NFL player opinion polls. That all ends now, vows a single blade of grass at the 31-yard line.
"We were average at best last year, just like the Steelers," the spokesblade said today. "But we got a lot of new guys in, and we had a pretty grueling summer. Those who weren't committed burned out pretty quickly."
When reminded of the infamous Dolphins-Steelers game, during which a punted ball got stuck in the field, the grass cringed slightly. "When it came to special teams, half the guys didn't really want to be out there. I don't want to point a finger, especially since I don't have one. But we have a new coach and a new attitude. Some of the guys get all painted up for game day, but that's not my style. I just go out and do my job, kinda like the linemen."
"All of us were thrilled to make the final cut."
