The Pittsburgh Steelers carried out their final days of practice at Saint Vincent College with literal clouds hanging overhead. Two of their final three practices were shortened by more than half an hour due to weather, including earlier today.
Many have noted it to be a fitting metaphor for the tenor of the organization right now as they continue to grief over the sudden passing of wide receiver coach Darryl Drake, who died in his sleep Sunday morning. He complained of chest pains the previous evening, but tests run at a local hospital found no abnormalities and he continued his coaching duties when he returned to Saint Vincent College after declining an overnight stay for observation.
