On Tuesday, the X account @PickensBurgh posted a video featuring messages from a user called @DannyFootball77, who isn’t following anyone and posted positive thoughts on Canada as he continues to draw the ire of the fanbase.
On Monday evening, NFL analyst Benjamin Ehrlich was caught trying to interpret the email of @DannyFootball77’s X (previously known as Twitter) account, which has become notorious for clapping back at Steeler detractors.

Another post said: “So the o line is an excuse for [Steelers quarterback] Kenny’s [Pickett] struggles but the OC is expected to turn water into wine. That makes sense.”
The whispers about Canada come on the heels of the Steelers’ disappointing defeat to the Texans on Sunday, in which they failed to score a touchdown.

One expert, though, raised a concern about the dubious email associated to @DannyFootball77: the Steelers finish their email addresses with steelers.nfl.com, not steelers.com. Here at Pro Football Network, we can confirm that this is the email format used by the Steelers — and other NFL clubs — for their workers.
