This will be a great Super bowl, there are two great teams playing that both deserve to be there.

I am a lifetime (and longsuffering) Browns fan, so with that I can't stand the Steelers and there is no way I will ever cheer for them (even to spare my life). Everyone loves a winner, and Steeler Nation has to have the largest bandwagon filled with front runner fans (whatever happen to all those 49'er fans). This of course is not true for those who live in Pittsburgh or who are native to the city and moved, those are true fans.
I can't stand the arrogance of Mike Tomlin, though he is an excellent coach. I can't stand the dirty play of James Harrison and will give him no credit on the field. I can't stand Ben Roethlisberger, but he is a clutch player. As for his personal life, I believe where there is smoke there is fire and that smoke has burned twice for him. The one exception of whom I like is Troy Polamalu, he shows that you can play the game hard and aggresive and still play it clean (take notice Harrison).
With all that said though, you have to credit the Rooney family and the Steelers organization. Prior to 1972, the Steelers were one of the most pathetic organizations in all of sports; however since 72 they have only had six losing seasons. This team also has stability; since 1968 they have only had three head coaches. Not to mention, they are excellent on draft day. There is no doubt they are possible the best organization in the NFL, if not all of sports (including that baseball team in NY that likes to throw around $$$ and try to buy their titles). Am I jealous of this team? Your darn right I am. I'm just an envious Browns fan..
With that said,
Go Greenbay!!!
Very nice words coming from a Browns fan. Here's a "true" Steeler fan who is very impessed with all the nice words for our team.
.

GO PACK GO!!!!!!!!!
I live in chicago and will be proudly sporting Pack apparel all week!!![]()
I find it hilarious that some Steeler fans seem to think Pittsburgh is the only team that has loyal, die hard fans all over the country.
As far as fan loyalty goes, I don't think any team can beat the Pack.
We're one of a kind.![]()
We never said that. And not being from Steeler nation , you would not understand.
Ever watch a Steeler away game, we play some teams and it sounds like the Steelers are playing at home. The fans follow the team.
We also have many transplanted fans. When our steel mills closed up here in the 80's many people moved to different areas of the US and took their love for the Steelers with them.
There are Steeler bars in almost every major city in the US. I don't mean sports bars. I mean someone loves the Steelers , bought a bar and the whole thing is done in black and gold and dedicated to the Steelers. On our local news today, they named 3 in the Dallas /Fort Worth area, incase you wanted to make the trip to Dallas and didn't have a ticket for the big game.
Never said other team didn't have loyal fans. Shoot read the pp's post about the Browns. Now those Browns followers are some loyal fans.
Only a Steeler fan knows...We are Steeler Nation!

The thing is Packer Fans are the same.....we will not hear word of anything else for the next 2 weeks because "We LOVE our Packers..." In good times and bad....![]()

Then I guess the same goes for you..How would you know what Packers fans are like if you aren't from around here?
That being said, I hate the whole "nation" tacked onto ANY sports team...Patriots Nation, Red Sox Nation, Steelers Nation, whatever. It's just annoying.

You're funny.
Like I said before, the Steelers don't have a monopoly on loyal, dedicated fans.
That's why the Packers have sold out every single home game since 1960...and the waiting list for season tickets has more people on it than there are seats at Lambeau. If I put my son on that list today, at 14 years old, he'd be dead of old age before his name came up.![]()
)Guess we'll just have to agree that the Steelers and Packers both have some pretty loyal awesome fans.![]()
