Top 10 Reasons Why the Pittsburgh Steelers is the Only Football Team that Matters
Sure, There Are Other Teams Out There - but Who Cares?
While I like sports as much as the next regular gal, I am not a rabid fan of any sport or sports team. By rabid, I mean that I won't kill or be killed for my favorite team. I will, however, talk trash for my beloved Pittsburgh Steelers (and against any team or fan who disses them).
So here is my list of ten reasons why the Pittsburgh Steelers is the only football team that really matters. Feel free to argue if you'd like - you are wrong. Rest assured of that. You are merely fooling yourself.
#10 - Because the Steelers aren't in Ohio, which makes it all good.
#9 - Because the Steelers rely on raw, natural talent and intimidation - not cheating - to win their games, and ultimately a Super Bowl. Oh wait, they've done that more than once. How many times was it? Six so far?
#8 - Because they share a city - and commiseration - with some Penguins who also know how to win a championship of some kind.
#7 - Men named Noll, Polamalu, Bradshaw, Bettis and Lambert. Speaking of Polamalu. . .oh that hair! Yeah, that's enough reason. . .
#6 - Because black and gold look so darn good together.
#5 - Because defense wins a championship - make that seven of them.
#4 - Because our quarterback has two good knees.
#3 - Because Hines Ward is tougher than any Baltimore linebacker.
#2 - Mean Joe Green. Enough said.
And the number one reason the Pittsburgh Steelers is the only football team that matters. . .Six rings (three more than New England!) - and the latest one is as big as your head. I wonder what number seven will look like?

Post a CommentI'm joking about the cheating part but I think them not winning the Superbowl that year was punishment enough for cheating.
PATRIOTS! That is my home team and as such I will always support them though I have to give it to the Steelers for winning. That cheating thing, it happens ;^)
Great article. I love how some people are telling you what qualifies as a fan as if there are rules to enjoying the game. Go Tamara!
As a "Limey" should be into Association football (Soccer) but I am a die hard Steelers fan so much so I confuse young kids who ask what football team I support with the reply Steelers.. and I can claim to have been a fan since listening to Superbowl X on AFN cologne on a whistley AM radio! Great to see the list though am amased you only talk the current side!. A family friend went to Tampa on holiday a few days after the Superbowl (I watched it live on TV in the UK till 4 am) and was ordered to buy a $100 of Steelers stuff. Love 'em
Well, I (as a die hard fan) agree! I love them so much I put them as my twitter background :) That having been said, I love the teams that, to me, represent blue collar towns/people. America loves football - football should reflect America - Steeler's Rule!
Go Saints! lol I know I should like the Browns because I'm from Cleveland, but the Browns suck! I'm not a Steelers fan either, but not because I live in Cleveland. Oh, and to those leaving dumb comments, get a frickin life!
I don't know which is funnier- that fact that for 10 years of marriage I was a die hard Steelers fan (apparently the only thing we had in common), the comments here or you fitting in at the grown up table. Thanks for a chuckle! I teased my husband about living in TN. I told him he had to take a oath to bleed orange upon the mighty UT team. Now I am in Houston and everyone thinks I mean Uof Texas when I say UT! Oh the horrors we endure for the love of football.
What? You are a bad little wifey for not agreeing with everything he says. For shame! hehe
Oh, and for the record: The husband and I see eye to eye on very little - I have the capacity to like and appreciate several football teams and players while he prefers to dislike any player who isn't a Steelers and any team that isn't from Pittsburgh. And I like Diet Dr. Pepper, he hates it, he loves clam chowder, I hate it.
Hahahahaha, oh that's too funny! Yes, Truth Hammer, you hit the nail on the head. My sense of self-worth comes from my husband's approval. Hahahaha, oh thanks for the chuckle!
