Austin Lloyd

I’m 23 years old, and the biggest sports fan I know. Whenever I have a moment to think freely, sports (predominantly football) is where my mind goes. I can be pretty opinionated, but I do so with facts, not feelings. If I feel strongly enough about a hot take, I’ll have you believing it too.

Loyal Ricks Jr

Welcome to my Steelers journalism page, where I combine my passion for stats, defense, and Pittsburgh Steelers football to deliver in-depth analysis and engaging content. As the host of the *Thuurd Quarter Podcast*, I’ve had the privilege of discussing the latest Steelers news, breaking down game performances, and interviewing guests to explore the heart of Steelers Nation. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills in podcasting, focusing on delivering thoughtful commentary that resonates with both die-hard fans and casual listeners alike. In addition to podcasting, I’ve spent the last four years contributing to *StillCurtain.com*, where I’ve written extensively about the Steelers’ strengths, weaknesses, and everything in between. My love for defensive schemes and statistical breakdowns comes through in my articles, where I dive into the numbers that define the Steelers’ gameplay. Whether it's analyzing a key defensive stand or spotlighting standout performances, I pride myself on bringing a unique perspective rooted in my deep understanding of the game. Through my work, I aim to create content that not only informs but also sparks conversation among fellow Steelers fans. Whether it's dissecting the latest matchup, reviewing player performances, or offering insights on upcoming games, my goal is to provide readers with thoughtful, stat-driven analysis that celebrates the rich tradition of Steelers football. Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to sharing my love for the game with you!

About FanSided

The idea of FanSided was born in 2007, when two brothers felt that their favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs, was being under-covered by the mainstream media. Taking matters into their own hands, they launched Arrowhead Addict, a move that would spawn the creation of FanSided in 2009, a network of over 300+ fan-powered unique sports, entertainment and lifestyle sites dedicated to team-specific, sport-specific, genre-specific, and fanbase-specific coverage. From sports, movies and TV to lifestyle and tech, FanSided has you covered.
