Steely Dan talks Pittsburgh
I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of Steely McBeam. But say what you will about the Steelers mascot, at least he's not creating bulletin board fodder for the other team.
Cardinals mascot Big Red, along with Phoenix mayor Phil Gordon (not the pro poker player) did something with the Pittsburgh Terrible Towel that's, um, well, let's just say it's not good PR for the Cardinals. http://www.wpxi.com/video/18580458/index.html
Wiping the pits and blowing the nose almost seem more baseball-like, when it gets down to brass tacks. So as insults, I'm not so sure how good they are.
But when I think of the phrase "how good they are", I think of:
Seven trips to the Super Bowl.
Pittsburgh practically owns this game, and a victory on Sunday will put them ahead of those pretenders in San Fran and the Big D in the win department. As they should be.
Reasons I like the Steelers:
"Thanks, Mean Joe!"
Those Iron City Beer cans.

Don't get me wrong. I'm still hoping my Bears pull off the next six Super Bowl victories in a row so as to end questions of overall football dominance. I mean, we've been at this in Chicago since 1920, and have nine championships when you count the eight BEFORE they instituted a Super Bowl. It would just be nice to round off this thing with a bunch of Super Bowl rings, too.
But until then, here's to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
