Let’s be honest, it should have been 23 points, not 16 if the refs had made the correct call or Tomlin would have challenged the play. DJ had 3 feet down.

If you were from the Mistake By the Lake you would be a miserable S.O.B. too.

Is it an all or nothing approach? Should they win a game in the playoffs but lose in the second round, is that a step in the right direction, or not good enough?

That would be nice.

What’s stopping you from doing it?

My family is from Pittsburgh. My dad worked at U.S. Steel in the early 1980’s and was one of many that were laid off. We ended up moving to the DC area when I was 4 years old. As I grew up, the Redskins were winning a ton and the Steelers were not putting the best teams in the league on the field. I remember after the 1991 season where Mark Rypien and Clark, Monk, and Sanders lit up the NFL and won the Super Bowl I asked my dad if I could be a Redskins fan like the rest of my friends. He said, “Sure, son. You’ll just have to find a new place to live.” So, I started rooting for the Steelers through what many remember to be a tough time in the late 80’s and early 90’s.

Later in life, I actually learned the significance of our history and thanked my father for his guidance. There isn’t a better franchise in all of football to be a part of. And unlike many teams, the fans actually are a part of this team. The Rooneys understand that better than any other franchise. Granted, Art II isn’t quite as tuned in as his dad or grandfather.
