I think this line will go up. Pitt is easy money here.

More than the Pats?

Atleast I don't live in that freezer. I don't see any entries for Hawthorne or Balmoral anywhere. Could it be it ain't even fit for horses right now? I'm just saying this is a battle between the 13th biggest metro area, and the 22nd biggest metro area. If it wasn't for betting, then who would really care?

Amazing how you, Scavs, Steve etc. all seem to make it out here to tour(a place you wish would sink.)

I'm with you on Arizona, but I think the Warner and the cinderella angles will be beaten to death, and you know people love that stuff.

the same amount of people who watch the superbowl will watch it again this year. Doesnt really matter who is in. 75% of the people who watch it watch for the commercials and the party's. The hard core football fans are gonna watch it also... there not going to miss the biggest game of the season because they dont have a rooting interest.

Its not like the World Series or NBA finals with multiple games. EVERYONE watches the superbowl!

Exactly. There is no comparable annual event in the world.

As I wouldn't want to live in SOCAL if I had to...personal preference my friend.

And Phoenix by itself is the 5th largest city in the US...That doesn't seem like the sticks to me.

Yea, it's the 5th largest city, and the 13th largest metro area population. Since you took that door, Pittsburgh is the 59th biggest city in America(FKN BAKERSFIELD is 57th.) San Antonio is the 7th largest city in America. How could it be that they only have 1 major sports franchise? Maybe it's because they have the 28th largest metro population.
The best game of the year was the war between Baltimore and the Titans. Whoever won that had no shot to get back up in time to play the Steelers(who got to play the lay down Chargers.) If I hear it's close, I'll watch the 4th quarter of this one.

Hell no. My level of hatred for the Pats has never and will never be reached for any other team. I hate the Pats 364 days a year (I take a day off to reflect on my hatred). I still don't like the Steelers.

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.

LOL. This is a classic rant! I love it.

One thing about the Steelers though is that there was a time when many Pennsylvanians moved around the country as steel workers. That can explain part of the reason why there are so many steelers fans in places you wouldnt expect to find them.

In fairness, what if the steelers were good when you were young and you stayed a fan all the way through?

There are just a lot of pretty basic forms of life. You give them choices like Steel players, or Cowboy players.....They can't resist that.

Well, you're missing out on a chance to go to "The Kingdom Day Parade."
I'm guessing the brothers don't have a parade in January in Chicago. I could be wrong.

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.

It doesn't matter. I don't agree with rooting for a team you have no other connection to just because they're good. It's lame to me. Obviously if people grew up near Pittsburgh and then moved away, that makes sense, but I'm talking about the people born in raised in somewhere like Nevada who are "die hard" Steeler fans.

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.
