Here we go, Steelers (and Pens!), Here we go!


This time of year means football, and football to me means Steelers, good food, good friends and good beer! I know some people, especially girls, may not see the huge deal about a football game, but that's not the point. What the point is, is that these games bring people together! Just take a walk outside in Pittsburgh, or go to any public place, and chances are you are going to see someone wearing Steelers or Pens gear. How great is it that sports teams can bring this city together so much?

And people! I think it's so wonderful how every football or hockey game I hear people say, "Where do you want to watch the game?" or "Come on over to my place to watch the game!" It makes Pittsburgh like one big family because that is something we all love and agree on -- our wonderful sports teams. What else can we say that about?

While I am a hockey girl at heart, I am so grateful for the Steelers as well (even though I know the Pens are creating quite a fan base because of our all-star team.) What can I say? I'm a native Pittsburgher - it's genetic! Going to the Strip or watching people on casual Friday's walking Downtown in their Steelers shirts really makes me proud.
