            Take off, ya hoser!!!

            Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

            Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

            We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

            We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                                    You can't be serious . . . us Americans took football to the level it is today. the Soccer playing Europeans and the little pigtailed fairy sister Canada might take credit in it's origination, but the Grand Ol' USA created football as it's known today.
                                    If football was left up to Canadian ideas it would look more like the CFL . . .

                                    The forward Pass revolutionized the game and was started by an IVY League, Penn University man with red, white and blue blood.

                                    PLUS James Naismith might have been born and raised in Canada (schooled in Monteal just over the border from NY) but he invented basketball in Springfield, MA, coached in Kansas, never to return to Canada as a resident. So he like all Americans was an Immigrant. A Canadian Imigrant

                                    Hockey is cool, thank you Canada

                                    Plus don't forget, Canada isn't internation anymore thanks to NAFTA
