This really does have a relation to Pittsburgh because of the fierce Steelers-Ravens rivalry.

But holy hell, how is Baltimore winning the votes right now? Some Ravens fans came over to stuff the ballots.

No Steelers fan can be pulling for the Ratbirds I don't think. The really diehard Steelers fans I know were holding their noses and hoping for the Patriots to beat them last week, much as that was also undesirable.

I haven't been watching much football though. I didn't even watch the championships over the weekend. In the past I would have watched all the playoff games, even without the Steelers. I think I watched part of one game all season long this time. I'll put the Stupor Bowl on for the heck of it I'm sure, to watch the ads maybe and hope that Baltimore loses.

Yes, come on, some solidarity with our new resident is called for.

Ugh. Really? I would think this is a tiny minority opinion in the Steelers fan world vs just totally being anti-Ravens. Not sure. Maybe I am wrong about that....

Yep. He was originally charged with murder, but pleaded it down to obstruction of justice and testified against his co-defendents.

I'm choosing "no one. I don't care" as well. I have hockey again and that's all I care about with sports (and apparently much of Pittsburgh too since the game got a 19.6 rating which is even higher than the ratings for Mario's comeback game in 2000)

Yinzers are going nuts with this matchup!

I'm just rooting for a competitive, enjoyable game.

Thank the lord hockey is back. But if I had to choose in this situation I would go for SF. Never ever ever would I root for Baltimore. Unfortunately though I have a feeling the Ravens are going to win this one.

Hockey is a minor league sport, soon to be #5 behind NASCAR.

Yes, he's the one. After their last (and only) Super Bowl win. He went out and was part of a double homicide. If you read up on it, I, personally, think he got away with murder.

If people are murdered around him after he WINS a super bowl? Can you imagine what happens around him when they lose? I hope no one hangs with him win or lose, eh?
