Here are the most interesting stories Saturday in the AFC North:
- Head coach Mike Tomlin says he’s fine, despite the offseason turmoil surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Morning take: Tomlin has the right, even-keeled mentality to handle all the curveballs thrown his way. But winning games without star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger remains a major challenge.
- Is Baltimore Ravens third-year quarterback Joe Flacco due for a breakout season?
Morning take: All the pieces are in place for Flacco to be successful. He is a good fantasy sleeper for 2010, as well.
- Cincinnati Bengals Pro Bowl receiver Chad Ochocinco gave his take on the LeBron James hoopla.
Morning take: Both stars had their own television shows this offseason. In fact, Ochocinco has another one starting up this Sunday.
- Meanwhile Ochocinco’s good friend, free-agent receiver Terrell Owens, is still looking for a job.
Morning take: It will be interesting to see where Owens ends up. The Browns desperately need receivers. I’m not sure if Owens is a good fit in Cleveland, but is the recently-acquired Bobby Engram a better option?
