10 Things I like about the Steelers.

· · 🌡️ 61°F

A new series. I will list 10 things I like about different stuff. Today its the Steelers, then comes Buffalo. Then some more personal ones than who knows what. Here it goes (in no order, I'm just going to list until I get 10.)


1. No Cheerleaders. It's not that we don't like girls, its just that they get in the way of what we come to games for: football.

2. History. We can always compare our team with the teams of the 70's, that won 4 superbowls.

3. Toughness. Sure, most players are tough, but the past three coaches have also been guys that the devil himself wouldn't mess with.

4. Coaches. Speaking of Coaches--the Steelers stick with thiers. That's an unusual, and good thing.

5. The Rooney's. The owners of the team aren't perfect, but they love their city, and their neighborhood, and would never leave. They also believe in justice (see, "the Rooney Rule.")

6. The fans. Almost every man, woman, and child in Pittsburgh can tell you why the Steelers play the 3-4, and how that requires different types of linemen/linebackers.

7. The 3-4. Truly a supierior defence.

8. The players. Polamalu, Casey Hampton, Big Ben, Fast Willie, and Hines Ward. I could come up with 10 things I like about each of these guys. #1 on Polamalu's list? He drives a Kia.

9. The uniform. We only put the logo on one side. Why? Because when they tried them the first time, they didn't have enough.

10. The colors. Black and Gold just looks good.

Tomorrow I will get local again and share what I like abou this town!

    The Steelers are one of my football teams. There have been 5 Football teams I have all ways liked for what ever reason. My 3 sort of home teams if you count where I'm from and where I was born (ok more then just that) The Raiders, The 49ers and The Bills. The two teams I liked since I can remember are the Redskins and Steelers. I will admit not sure why but I also like the Penguins but no where near as much as the Sabres. But I have never been to see any games there. I think one thing I have liked about them is there seems to be this blue collar sense of hard working guys on the team. If you look back at the last two coachs you see that, they where both long term coaches. I like your 10 things idea and look forward to reading more of them.
