With Pittsburgh Steelers training camp just a couple weeks away, we thought it would be good to get everyone thinking about the black-and-gold leading up to the annual return to Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA.

This is where Steelers Jeopardy was started. I put my black-and-gold mind to work and came up with 5 Steelers “answers” from one specific Steelers category. You will be charged with trying to guess the responses in the comment section below.

Remember to always phase your response in the form of a question, and if you don’t know it, you can simply skip it. Keep track and share your scores. A word of warning though, the correct responses are right after each individual wager in blue. Consider this something fun to pass the time until the real news starts!!

The group that hit it big with “The Devil went down to Georgia” released this song as a reaction to problems facing the United States in the 70s. It was written as an anthem with the premise of America sticking together to overcome obstacles and return to greatness.

Question: What is “Heaven Can Wait”?

This 1978 film with a complicated plot was nominated for several Academy Awards. Set in Los Angeles, a quarterback for the Rams was taken to Heaven by accident but his body was already cremated. So, they put him in a body of a millionaire who bought the Rams so he could play quarterback. It gets more confusing from there, so just watch it. It’s a fun film.
