"Hey BIG HATER, what are you going to do now? Kobe has 4 rings and you got 4, who's got next?!"

I'm not a fan of the NBA but I had to get that off my chest!

The Pittsburgh Steelers won the Super Bowl and now the Pittsburgh Penquins have won the Stanley Cup and that makes the city of Pittsburgh the newest city to adopt the moniker TITLE-TOWN....and from the looks of it, Pittsburgh won't be giving up that title any time soon....

The Steelers and Penquins each have a young enough player nucleus to rattle off 2 or 3 more Champ. Titles over the next few years and who knows by then the Pirates might be good enough to capture there first World Series title since 1979

Congratulations Steel-Town you're the Best of the Best for the '09 year!

The lights are slowly dimming on another potential great Cleveland sports team, once again. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 1 loss away from being eliminated from the NBA '08-'09 playoffs. The team with the best record in the NBA during the regular season has to win 3 straight games (2 at home and 1 away) to advance to the NBA Finals, and at this point and time it seems highly unlikely that's going to happen; even with the best b-ball player on the planet playing on their team, the Cavs have a huge mountain to climb. Smart money says they'll probably win game 5 at home (with the help of the referees and David Stern--wink wink!) but come game 6 back in Orlando, Black-Out on the Cavalier season, for real!

It makes u wonder what the city that 'rocks and rolls' did in its sports past to deserve such pain and misery. The Browns, Indians and now the Cavs have all been on the brink of Championship Glory, teasing the city of cleveland and its loyal fanbase, only to lose it right at the end, and when I say 'lose it', I mean lose it in gut-wrenching fashion.

If you're from Cleveland or happen to be a fan of any of the professional teams, you know what its like to go home with 'Blue Balls' at the end of every season; you get worked during the season, ready to release during the postseason but all u really get is a kiss on the cheek and a cold hand(*ob)shake...

...one day Cleveland will be basking in the glow of championship-dom, right? anybody? god? jesus? buddha? O.J.? somebody help Cleveland, Pleeeeease!

It has been a very successful offseason for the Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, up till the moment LB James Harrison opened his mouth and refused acceptance to the White House by the President of the U.S.of A  'Barack Obama'

I'm sure this will pass but Harrison's comments and reasoning will go down in PR infamy as ludicrous...he embarassed himself and the whole organization!

There's has been a very healthy debate for the last 10 or so years over the issue who's the REAL America's team in the NFL and by default fans, critics and former players has labeled the Dallas Cowboys the team the nation cheers for, and that might be true to some extent but when it comes to sheer numbers the Cowboys aren't close to being the favorite team the Nation gets behind. That title goes to the Six-time World Champs PITTSBURGH STEELERS, and to be honest no team in football or any other American sports league comes close to what is famously fan-coined in the City of Steel and around the World as STEELER-NATION    

From what I understand the Cowboys were labeled 'America's Team' in the 70's because of the big phat Star that exist on their helmet but more importantly they won a few Super Bowls (2) during that time and the TV ratings for all their games hit the roof in relation to viewership; but that pales in comparison to what the Steelers did during that same period. Pittsburgh won 4 super bowls, twice beating the Cowboys in the big game, and they have more Hall of Famers during that era than any other team so the title of America's Team should of went to the Steelers not the Cowboys    

With all due respect to the Packers-Chiefs-Bears-Raiders fandom, there's a strong presence across North America for these teams as well, they don't measure up to the crazed-year around followship that the Steeler Nation imposes on the sports world  

So lets end the debate today and forever, the Pittsburgh Steelers fanbase is not just here in the States but around the world..rolling strong and steady & stubborn...Osama Bin Laden has been known to rock a Steeler Hat in one of his Video Monologues. I live in Los Angeles and if you don't know, this is the biggest melting pot for people(s) to move to from around the world; and I see more Steeler Paraphanelia worn by strangers than any other team in sports period. Hats, shirts, pants, pins, car insignias, tattoos, pets, you name it...Steeler Nation represents! Sorry Cowboy fans, you might be in the same region as the Steelers when it comes to fan appreciation but the Black & Gold owns the country
