Steelers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

•  The Pittsburgh Steelers have held a reputation as brawlers through most of their history, even before they started winning Super Bowls in the 1970s. Only now, it's the five Rooney brothers who are squaring off.

The Rooneys continue to try to find a way to both sell the team and keep it in the family—depending on which brother you talk to - and there's no end in sight. The five own 16 percent each of the club and there's a willing buyer—Steelers fan Stanley Druckenmiller. He's worth $3.5 billion and could write a check today for 52 percent of the club. That's precisely what he could get if he convinces four of the five Rooney brothers to sell.

Hall of Famer Dan Rooney, the eldest son, is trying to keep it in the family.
