From the Onion

The Onion is just awesome.  There is always a strong note of truth in their humor that transcends it from a chuckle to a truism.

 

Pittsburgh School District Leads Nation In Ability To Spell 'Roethlisberger'

Here's the link (I especially enjoy the Cleveland comment):

For another, older, Pittsburgh Steeler Onion article try: 

Investigators: Increasingly Likely That James Harrison Bit Own Son

http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/investigators_increasingly

Some people will probably think that it's in poor taste, but I enjoy knowing that the nation at large perceives the Steelers as deadly  dangerous.  Especially the line: James III is almost completely recovered and has been released from Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, while his father has been quarantined at Animal, Linebacker, and Wide Receiver Control of McKees Rocks, PA.

Wide receivers, people!  With what other team would wide receivers be believably classified as dangerous animals?  God, I love this team.

Just ours, but we only have one (so far…I’m looking at you, Mike Wallace!)

True, but I’ve seen Holmes and Sweed both lay out some nasty, hard-hitting blocks (though I’m sure that’s due to the influence and mentoring of Hines).
(And that’s another reason why we shouldn’t be too hasty to give up on Sweed – he seemed to have taken his toughness lessons to heart).

Steeler Defenses 1970 to present.

I would take that class right now. I’d drive to Oakland for class. Pitt should start offering fan classes, go over film and explain all the terms and strategies.

It would be fun, and I bet you they would have plenty of people in the classroom. You could even have placement tests and advanced classes.

I’m a little crazy, but I’d take them all. I think there are plenty of Steeler fans who would too.
