Wait..this is getting Scud like..Unless you live in or near an NFL city you aren't allowed to have a favorite team and cheer as hard as the guy who lives in New Orleans?

i leave 3hrs from pittsburgh but 90 min from baltimore. so i should root for the colts? who packed up and left in the middle of the night. i've been rooting for the Steelers and pirates since 1971, i was 7yrs old. my dad was colts and orioles fan and me rooting for the Black and Gold used to piss him off. after the colts left he's kinda adopted the Steelers. he can't stand the ravens and he's not much on the skins.
i guess i don't get your line of thinking.

I agree, but don't you love the Celtics? Do you just like them when they play the Lakers?

Um, no. I don't like any team that mysteriously has "fans" all over the country despite playing in a relatively insignificant city. Steeler fans who aren't from Pennsylvania are like Cowboy fans to me. It's almost as if they just started rooting for them because the Steelers were successful when they were young! That would be like me rooting for the Bulls. Plus Hines Ward is a douche and Roethlisberger is a moron.[/quote]


Did you ever think that people who move form the Pittsburgh area dont quit rooting for Pittsburgh? I used to live just over an hour away from Pittsburgh and I still root for threm. I live just over an hour from Houston and I refuse to root for the pathetic Texans. Im wondering what thier excuse will be this year if they have another pathetic season.

Also please do not associate us Steeler fans with the Cowboy fans. Our team doesnt fold in the months of December and January.

I've been a Steeler fan since that Super Bowl X win, so I guess I'm guilty.....as for your assessment of Ben & Hines, your entitled to your opinion....but I would feel the same way if I was a frustrated Jets fan! and I know a lot of them. You guys have gone through a lot of hand ringing since that Namath victory.
