Hello to all. This is my first post on this site, and like many I’ve been lurking for a while now. I came across this wonderful place the way I suspect many are; through SI.com. This has quickly become my favorite site for all things Steelers, and I felt like this post was a good place for me to drop a comment.

I’ve been a fan since I was about 7 years old (‘77), and I hate to admit at the time I didn’t know much about the team, a friend of mine was a fan and was always sporting Steelers shirts and jackets, and he got me interested. I’ve loved being a fan ever since, and I get more into the team every year.

I live in California, have for most of my life, but I finally got to see the Steelers play at home 2 years ago when my Wife bought tickets to see the Steelers play the Seahawks. She got us tickets in section 133 about 14 rows up from the field. If I’m not mistaken, that game was the first shutout at Heinz, but either way it was a great experience, one I hope to do many more times in the future. The people were great, the stadium is awesome (Guinness on tap, sign me up), and the atmosphere indescribable to anyone who has not attended a home game.

Anyhow, I’m rambling. This is one of the reasons I lurk and don’t post. :) I just wanted to drop a comment and say I think this is the best Steelers site on the Internet, I hope it’s here as long as I’m around, and I hope it continues to get better and better. Thank you for keeping such a great thing running, especially for those of us in parts of the world far away from our favorite team.

Appreciate the words. Glad you chimed in, if only to ramble a bit :) GOod stuff.

Where you at in California? I’m heading south from seattle to CA for a month here in a few weeks. Be well and thanks again for the support.

I’m famous on SB Nation.

DA: “I love you thissssssssssssssssss much.”

Brady Quinn: “No, I love YOU thisssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss much.”

One of the things I really like around here (aside from the info about all things Steelers that I find here) is the cameraderie. Anything that promotes that is cool with me.

Oh, and by the way, @Mr MaLoR: “You’re ugly and your mama dresses you funny”.

Did I just screw up?

Posting a picture of Brady Quinn in a thread about the Do’s and Dont’s of BTSC is a little ironic to me.
I mean, thats basically a gay joke right there.

Hello to all… Like Troyp above, this is my first post, but I’ve been visiting the site for about 6 months. I’m stil amazed that this oasis of inciteful Steelers information and intelligent discussion exists on the otherwise troll populated interweb.

Just wanted to say thanks and apologize if what I wrote yesterday came across as heavy handed or patronizing to anyone on here. It was not meant that way.

For the most part the people on that thread are regulars whose work I love reading.

As I said before it’s not about sensitivity on my end – just a preference to keep the talk football oriented and high-minded – or at the very least low-minded in a good natured way, that’s not specifically at anybody’s expense. Onward and forward to what promises to be one hell heck of a season.
 

I know I can’t contribute in the way that some posters here do, so I TRY MY BEST not to bring down the level of discussion. troyp_43 is right, if you go on an ESPN or SI blog, you read the nastiest comments from some of the most idiotic, immature, and jealous people on the planet. I’d come off of there actually thinking Ward is a cheap shot artist or that Eli is better than the Big Boy. NONSENSE!

If I have to edit profanity in here to help keep this place an unbiased and informative resource, then I’m all for it… as long as I can still rag on Malor.

How long will the sheeple put up with it. my father and our forfathers wouldnt.
I understand

when did we let them win? Im talkin to all my fellow steeler fans out there. when did we start protecting those who are idiots? you know, the Queerdell jokes? when did our love for football become more important than our own rite to say what we want? Ya know with all the BS in this formerly great country of ours and REAL issues out there when did it become acceptable by us to get asxraped thru the gates b4 we enter Heinz field? {I know i know 4 your protection lol anyways } Not be able to call a Brownie a faggxt? Why is politicly correct so “in”? IM SICK OF IT!!!

Now.. Im new to this site. I dont fagbash nor do i c others doing that here and thats what I like to be honest. My point is DONT tell me what or what not to say. IM SORRY there are very confused people out thre.I know. But for everyone to just blindly accept rules and laws and regulations because of them I have to stand against. If fellow fans wanna post a political thread. fine. probley wont click it.somebody posts a Fagg thread.fine.probly wont click it. But to tell people what they can an can not post is Bull. its our LIBERTY to CLICK on those things that pertain to us and disregard the rest

Several others have already commented on the timeliness of Blitzburgh’s post, and how well thought out they are. I’ll merely join in that chorus of admirers.

And, of course, I love the site. I especially love how “low maintenance” it is — we don’t really need a set of rules, but timely reminders keep everyone pretty much on track.

Oh, this group is so ready for some football!
