Steelers’ Fans Super Day

By now you’ve probably chatted with a Steelers fan or two who is just oh-so-super-happy that Pittsburgh has won its (count it!) sixth Super Bowl.

Eh.

Yeah, I’m a little conflicted. On one hand, the Steelers are a good team, and they’re in Pennsylvania, and their fans are pretty good. On the other hand, it’s Pittsburgh! How can that city be so awesome in a sport? KYW 1060 even found a fan who, after the game, was talking about how he thought the Steelers would win big!

(Steelers fan): “That is insane! Wow! Unbelievable! I have no voice!”

(Kim Glovas): “Did you ever think it was going to end like this?”

(Steelers fan): “No, I thought Pittsburgh was going to blow them out so it’s been a great game, I have to say that.”

Ahh, whatever. The Steelers didn’t win a title from their founding until Super Bowl IX! It’s pretty amazing they’re now viewed as one of the best franchises of the modern era after their first 42 years didn’t produce a single title. We can let them have this thing. Congrats, Pittsburgh fans.
