You may be one of those who will just never get it but.............

Think about it this way:

If your team came out of the sludge to become the best in the NFL since the 1970 merger, and your team was considered the class of the NFL, and your team was the unit by which others are measured, and your team's history just happened to include an item that was the first of it's kind, symbolizes great pride, generates millions of $$ for charity and was invented by a beloved team announcer, and is copied by virtually every team as well as the NFL........maybe you would get it.

So ends the reading.................
 
The first half of that paragraph is a matter of opinion. I get the towel thing but eh. I went to college out in western PA and I had to listen to that guy on the radio call the Steelers games, man did he make my spine cringe.

I like the Steelers though, don't get me wrong. :p

The Steelers are the best (winningest) team in the NFL since the 1970 merger, that's fact.

And yeah, Myron was a little tough on the ears but it doesn't change the fact that he became a beloved icon of the Steelers
 
There's a reason they call it Terrible Towels :laugh: :laugh:

Most wins since 1970 may be statistically true at the moment, but I can still argue that using the word "best" since 1970 is an opinion, and saying all other teams are measured against them is most certainly an opinion. This guy also thinks it's an opinion.

All it would take is a few more wins from Dallas, or the 49'ers, or the Dolphins, hell even the Raiders aren't far off from taking back the wins since 1970 stat. And at that point you won't be able to tell me that Oakland is the "best since 1970" and the rest of the NFL then is "measured against them" rather than the Steelers now.

But we'll agree to disagree. This is a ra-ra Steelers thread and there's no place for an Eagles fan in here lol. Although they were the same team at one point I guess.

Regardless though I do like the Steelers, they were one of my original favorite teams growing up in PA and I'm pulling for them in the Super Bowl this year.

I also had to ask, who the hell are the Cardinals? :whistling: :laugh:
 
I'm old enough to remember when the Steelers were the worst team in NFL history.

Doc.

Yeah.....this is a Steelers ra-ra thread but it's all in fun. However the Raiders would have to win every game for the next three years and the Steelers would have to lose every game for three years for the Raiders to pass the Steelers. And keep in mind that wins is only a small part of what makes the Steelers the best.

I think a Cardinal is like a small Pope or something.
 
ROTFLMAO :laugh: :laugh:

My catholic wife didn't find the humor in the pope joke.
 
I hate the Steelers, but this made me laugh. :laugh:

Just to give everybody the Big Picture:

Bernie Kosar died and went to heaven. God said, "Bernie, I am a great football fan so I am giving you a great honor. You will have your own house here in heaven." God showed him a modest house with a small Browns flag in the window. Bernie was pleased until he looked up the hill and saw a massive black and gold mansion, with terrible towels in every window and a huge Steeler flag outside.

Bernie said, "God, I don't like to complain, but how come I have such a small house and Terry Bradshaw has such a big mansion?" God replied, "That is not Bradshaw's house! That's where I live."

They are just like any other team. When they are doing well, it's all you hear about. But when they are having a losing season, you don't hear shit.
