Why I am a fan:
|
The Steelers have been a tradition in my family for years. My grandmother is a huge Steelers fan. She made the cover of the local paper when i was a kid b/c of her big ass game room (it's not that big anymore). She has 8 kids and they all follow the Steelers as much as her. So i guess u could say its a 'trickle' effect.

Favorite Moments:
|
When i attended a game in '98. Steelers, Jaguars, 1997 regular season Sunday night OT gm. I sat 20 rows from the field and we had the seats @ Three Rivers Stadium shaking. Seeing the Steelers go 15-1 in 2004, Ben's first season. Then seeing them win it all the next season and then the 2007 season.

Why I am a fan:

Growing up in the city where they play is a start. as well as, seeing the team be good for some many years. they have been very exciting 2 watch, even more recently. i don't remember the days of Mario and the cup really well but i know the tradition and respect it. hoping 2 see them start a new tradition w/superstars like Crosby, Malkin, Fleury, Orpik, Letang, and Staal.

Favorite Moments:
|
Seeing Crosby except the Prince of Wales Trophy last season. as well as seeing the organization produce an Art Ross Trophy winner almost every year (12 in the past 20 years, come on that number is amazing).

Why I am a fan:
|
No certain reason. i just grew up liking certain teams b/c they always won and were on TV. the Colts r just one of them teams that stuck w/me. they just seem 2 know how 2 compete every year.
|
|
|
Favorite Moments:
|
When the Colts won Super Bowl 41 (a year after my favorite team won their's.) as well as Peyton hoisting the M. V. P. Trophy. Peyton is the greatest QB the sport has ever seen. Move over Marino (overrated), Kelly (overrated), Elway, well actually Elway was that good.

Why I am a fan:
|
Grew up around the Bucco's my whole life. Im not a hardcore fan. they've let me down to many times, 16 losing seasons in a row, but i still pay attention 2 how their doing. I follow the team somewhat. until the ownership shows they care about a good team and stops worrying about the money only, they will become a good team. I seriously can't wait for the day (i'm sure i speak for a lot of people in the city.)

Teams
R. J.
Hates
| Cleveland Browns | |
| Why I Hate Them: | Steelers biggest rival. i love 2 see them lose. |
| Players I Hate: | its tough 2 hate players on a team that has terrible players. some players (ex. Braylon Edwards) they have r good and i can respect talent. they should just go play somewhere else. |
| Baltimore Ravens | |
| Why I Hate Them: | Steelers 'new era' rival. i love these match-ups. there always excited. so much hatred. |
| Players I Hate: | Ray Lewis, Terrel Suggs, mad props 2 Ed Reed. |
| Philadelphia Flyers | |
| Why I Hate Them: | Cross state rival 2 our Pens. Biggest trouble-making team in the NHL. A bunch of goons who don't care 2 win, just looking for trouble. Scott Hartnell is the biggest bitch on the team. Philly's fans. |
| Players I Hate: | Scott Hartnell, Mike Knuble, Mike Richards, Braydon Coburn, Matt Carle, Kimmo Timonen |
| Washington Capitals | |
| Why I Hate Them: | Crosby vs Ovy debate. Washington always seems 2 face us in the playoffs. We come out on top but its always a grueling round. Washingtons fans! |
| Players I Hate: | Alexander Ovechkin, Alexander Semin, Donald Brashear, Boyd Gordon, Matt Bradley, Tom Poti, Brian Pothier, but Mike Green is the man!!!!! |
| New York Yankees | |
| Why I Hate Them: | They try 2 buy a championship every year. they think that for some reason or another if they spend a lot of money on big names they will win but don't. the formula is wore out. they hoard all the good players, mix ego's and blow up. it's fun 2 see them lose like this. |
| Players I Hate: | I don't necessarily hate anyone on this team just the organization. |
