Taking Pittsburgh third-string quarterback Dennis Dixon under his wing this season has been Pittsburgh backup quarterback Byron Leftwich. But first he had a score to settle with the rookie out of Oregon.

It appears Leftwich had a bet riding on Dixon winning the Heisman Trophy his senior year in 2006.

"When I first met him I told him, 'you know you messed up, man, I had you winning the Heisman,'" Leftwich explained. "I had a little bet with somebody that he would win the Heisman and when he got hurt, I told him, 'man I've been waiting to see you for a long time to tell you how you messed up my bet.'"

Dixon laughed when relayed Leftwich's version of the story.

"Yeah, he was kind of mad, a long with a couple of other people on the team," Dixon said.



Evidently the Steelers believe in Dixon!

It's true though, I am still bitter about 2007, there is no question Dixon would have won the Heisman and the Ducks would have won the NC!!!!!

It doesn't take a moderator to know when something is posted in the wrong section of the board
