When Stanford guard David DeCastro slipped all the way to the 24th spot in the National Football League draft, the Steelers were so excited he was available they took less than a minute to select him.

in his press conference one of the reporters ask him if it's true he's a seahawks fan and asks if he was one of the guys whining about the officiating in the superbowl. The response? "No comment" followed by a grin :lol:

The guys aren't going to let this one go. I hope he sets aside some of his signing bonus to pay for all those surf and turf dinners he's going to be buying. :lol:
