And c'mon the 49ers 80s to early 90s run is superior to the 70s Steelers or Cowboys.
81 to 94 Niners: 5 superbowls and 9 NFC championship games
70s Steelers: 4 superbowls and 6 AFC championship games

Really though we're talking about the 3 winningest franchises in the SB era. Cowboys are just the most popular.
I'm in it for the long haul. /shrug

I grew up watching the Steelers on that thing called the tv.

The "
immaculate reception" and Lynn Swanns amazing catch in the Super Bowl for starters. Been watching them since I was 6 or 7 years old. Beating the Dallas Cowboys in the Super Bowl is always a good time.

All their hall of famers and the rest, Bradshaw, Harris, Swann, "Mean Joe" Greene, LC Greewood, John Stallworth, Mel Blount, Jack Ham, Jack Lambert. I had their football cards as well.

Means a lot to me. /shrug.

Give it awhile, I bet you will be rooting for Dallas if you aren't already.

Sorry y'all lost, but not that sorry. Pittsburghs still got the Super Bowl wins record after all.
Ah, sweetie.... my parents saw the Immaculate Reception in PERSON. They talked about that play for YEARS.

I miss Myron Cope, too. You know he was the start of the Terrible Towel.....

Yep -- I'm from Pittsburgh, born and bred.... and although I don't care much about sports, I did root for the Ravens.... because I want the 'burgh to have the record on rings.
