Steeler Fans

[Redskins_P]

I know a couple of Steeler fans, and they're ok. They're very similar to us skins fans.......very knowledgeable and loyal.

i went on a bus trip with ALL steeler fans last year to see the skins at heinz field .the steeler fans are very close to redskin fans as being knowledgeable and courteous towards me.a couple of times after some good natured ribbing the steeler fans apoligized to me.i told them it was nothing after going to philly 8 years in a row.they replied" **** philly" that alone made them alright with me

I know quite a few Steeler fans. I hang out with them every week at my favorite Sports Bars. Steeler football is very much like Redskin football and I have a high degree of respect and appreciation of how they approach the game. I'm a die-hard Redskin fan but I found myself routing very hard for the Steelers to upset the Colts, especially after the officials attempted to take the game away.

I remember back around the 80's when your team was out of the playoff picture you cheered any team from your division and then would cheer the team from your conference next. Times have changed and you see very little of fans cheering others in their division unless its to help out your team.

i hope u didnt do that this year

I cheered for the Panthers against the Giants this year as if I was born in downtown Charlotte. The only NFC East team I didn't really mind was Arizona because they were so harmless, but they've been shipped out west.

Any week in the NFL my #2, 3, and 4 favorite team is whoever is playing Dallas, Philly, and New York, in that order.

i think i classify as an older person and i can say i have never cheered for the cowboys!bigskin youre right,that is disgusting

[firstdown]

I'm not that old and it was very common for fans to cheer for other teams in their div once they where out of the playoff picture. It was one of those thing like we have the toughest division and we fight hard within our division but you out side folks best leave us alone.

A true Redskins fan only wants what's best for the Redskins. We want the world to think we play in the toughest division, so there's a certain amount of pride in knowing that our NFC East competitors are good.

But pulling for the Cowboys? The Iggles? The Giants? NEVER. You can take pride in the division, because we're part of that identity. But that's something you do AFTER the season. While games are still being played, you can't jump out of your chair and high-five your buddy when Brian Westbrook or Tikki Barber breaks free for a TD. THAT AIN'T RIGHT!!

The Steelers are a good team for Skins fans to cheer for. They are geographically close; Pittsburgh has always been a maligned city (like DC); historically they play NFC-style ball; they have great football tradition. The few Steelers fans I know are good people.

Some Pittsburg fan had a heart attack when bettis fumbled. An actual heart attack. He lived and says he is fine because the steelers won.

Last year there was that steeler fan that had his lifeless body in a chair in his steelers gear and was watching a TV showing the greatest steeler plays when people were comming in to see him

They are true fans but oh so annoying.

[mattdouthat]

I dont care about there fans I am pulling for them because Bettis is a class guy and deserves a ring. Cowher is a tough nose coach and plays old school football. Big Ben is a good quarterback and will have a great career. I just like the way they play.

Today we have this:
Father and Son Die of Heart Attacks an Hour Apart | Video | TheBlaze.com

The McCauley family near Pittsburgh is reeling after losing both father and son in slightly more than an hour. Charles Sr., 83, died of a heart attack Saturday night at his home in North Huntingdon where he was watching the Pittsburgh Steelers preseason game on television.

His son, 54-year-old Charles Jr., was at that game. Upon learning of his father’s death Charles Jr. rushed out of Heinz Field with his wife when he suddenly felt chest pains and suffered a fatal hear attack of his own in the parking lot. WTAE 4 reports:

I guess those Primanti Brother sandwiches arnt good for you?

Also find it kind of funny that everyone back in 06 had respect and admiration for the Steelers.... funny how a couple superbowl wins, a few conference championships, owning fedex field on a monday night game, a accused rapist qb and a hard hitting LB can do to make people turn against you....

[bertoskins]

steelers team and organization should be the one that the skins should follow
continuity and structure is stable
win or loss, and they keep on fighting
they deserve to win another title
since they are frustrated 3 years past
