Why aren't there any Pittsburgh Pirates fans?
The Red Sox and Yankees' fans would be outnumbered if all of those Steelers fans' were Pirates' fans. Just a thought.
Pittsburgh 24, Arizona 17

Super Bowl Prediction
Greensboro, NC -- It's time to set aside all of the analyses, talk, and insight, and break out the crystal balls. While I am pulling for the Arizona Cardinals, I believe that the Pittsburgh Steelers will win tonight's contest, 24-17. While I was excited to view some of the Super Bowl set-up when I was in Tampa three weeks ago, I was hoping that an NFC East team would not make it. As the Giants fell to the Igles, and the Igles to the Cardinals, it wasn't surprising to see the Steelers survive the attrition war in the AFC. The Steelers, an immensely popular team, will have a huge "homefield" advantage in tonight's game. Is it just me, or are the Steelers becoming a "cult" just like the Boston Red Sox? All of sudden, everybody is a Steelers' fan! Dating back to 2004, when the Sox killed the Curse of the Bambino, everyone is now a Sox fan. I've asked several "Steelers' fans" their relation to Pittsburgh, and legitimate ties to the Pittsburgh area have come back in response. If everyone in this massive Steelers' following had legitimate ties to Pittsburgh, answer this question:

The Steeler's fan base is a cult; however, it's not filled wannabe fans like the Red Sox. Other than the Redskins, it may be the best franchise in football simply because they provide vouchers for their season ticket holders for road games.
It IS the best franchise in Football. Can't argue with 6 Lombardi Trophies! I've been a Steelers fan since I was 10 years old. Also, I'm a Pittsburgh Pirates fan. Although they stink like Satan's left testicle, I still love them. But because my Dad and both Grandfathers were Yankees fans from the Glory Days, I'm a default Yankees fan. I've always hated the Red Sox and will continue to do so, just like I'll always hate the Braves, the Cowpiles, the Patriots, the SF Giants, the Balt Ravens, the Lakers and Detroit Red Wings. I think that covers it. Wait, the University of North Carolina Tarheels rank up there with Boston, Atlanta and Cowpiles. And any racing and soccer. :)
A double whammy there... dissing my Atlanta team, while professing your affiliation with the Evil Empire. My level of respect for Trivia Tim just went down, like Tony Romo in the playoffs
