After September 11th I wanted to let that post kind of settle in before I moved on and moved back to the normal progression of life. Tonite is the Steelers vs. the Jag-offs, er I mean the Jaguars. One of the more unique things that I have seen is Steeler fans and the way that they are everywhere. It is one of the truly great things about living in Pittsburgh. You can go anywhere in the country and if you are wearing Steeler gear of any kind someone will say to you either, "Go Steelers, or are you from Pittsburgh?" It is a truly weird but unique situation. When times are tough people look for a commonality amongst each other. The Steeler Nation seems to be that for Pittsburgh. It doesn't matter what is going on in our city as soon as the mention of the Steelers hits somebody's tongue every mood seems to get a little better. People say things like football are just a game and nothing more but I beg to differ. Sports allows people to congregate on a mass level. It gives people the ability to put aside all of their differences, both physical and philosophical and meet at that special place. Just watch Monday Nite Football tonite and you will see what I am talking about. Watch how many Steeler fans will be in Jacksonville. Mark my words. Go Steelers!!!
