UGH! Fans
I used to think that the Raider fans were the freaks of the NFL. That is, until I met the Steeler Nation. Holy cow, they are the most annoying fans! I know this is not going to win me any Pennsylvania followers, and considering it is the state where I live…well, I am kind of surrounded by them. I don’t live in Pittsburgh (thankfully) and though I am sure it is a beautiful place to live, the Steelers are enough to keep me away.
Honestly, no fan is a good sport. All the games are competitions, so a bit of tension is expected. But all this shit-talking is taken too far. Those stupid towels and all this “we went to 7 Super Bowls” – Come on! You didn’t play! Maybe I have been around too many crazies, but I hope Pittsburgh never goes to another Super Bowl for as long as I live in Pennsylvania. I can do without all the fanfare.
I know you are going to say it is no different than sporting a cheesehead as a Packer fan, but that doesn’t make ME a poor sport, does it?

Go Packers!
My house is a nuthouse, especially during football season. My husband has managed to make my daughter a Redskins fan, but I've been a Packer fan all my life. And my son? He vehemently states, "God made me to love the Eagles."
As you can imagine, loud words are exchanged in our home. We don't hold back and enjoy watching the games immensely. Sometimes crying is involved, either in disappointment or anger. Sometimes stuffed animals are destuffed. Regardless of the outcome, my kids have learned an important lesson: no matter what, you stick with your team, in good and bad moments.
Does that mean that I have any fellow cheerleaders for tonight's Green Bay game? Absolutely not! I just really wish I had a cheesehead sombrero as a companion...
