Saturday Night Cake Sessions Symbolic Of How Tight-Knit, Equal Steelers Were In Early 2000s, Joey Porter Sr. Says

On the final night before games, particularly on Saturday nights, NFL teams have a team meal and one last meeting before taking to the field for the game on Sundays. For some, it can be just a brief moment, one that they have to get through before getting some rest.

For the Steelers of the early 2000s, though, that was a special time in which the Black and Gold further strengthened their bond off the field.

In those Saturday night sessions, the Steelers would eat a slice of red velvet cake and a scoop of ice cream, with running back Jerome Bettis serving up the cake.
