Question: If you could coach any current sports team professionally, which would you choose?

Miami Dolphins and Florida Marlins. I don't know hockey and basketball well enough to think I can even attempt coaching for the Panthers and the Heat.

Ah yes, a Pittsburgh fan just like me. Just one question. Would you have started Bettis?

I'd have "started" Bettis in about the same amount. Zereoue vs. Bettis is a nice duel, but you know what? It's a good one to have. I'd have "started" Zereoue too. In other words, I'd give them each about equal runs.
Zereoue may fit in better with the slightly faster-paced offense the Steelers have now, but Bettis can be simply demoralizing (and tiring) with five-yard run after five-yard run.
St. Pierre impressed me a little. More than Charlie Batch has. Charlie needs a new head or brain.

Pittsburgh is known for their running game, and relying on Tommy as much as they are is a dangerous bet. At least we have Randle El. That guy can catch just about anything. Porter has also been pulling his weight.

I agree. A one-two punch in the running game is only going to make it easier for Tommy. If we run 2/3 of the time, so be it!

My answer once would have been the Detroit Lions, if only because I figured that I could do a better job than most of the dolts they've hired over the past ten years. But if we took my actual coaching abilities into consideration, I'd have to say the Detroit Red Wings. I'm pretty sure they could coach themselves while I took home a nice little paycheck...
