and my personal favorite

Quote :

"is so happy her team won the superbowl and that she won $50!!!! Go Steelers!!"

I know this chick and last saw her in a Panthers Jersey; than a month ago i remember her crying when her "team" Colts lost b.c she loves Peyton. All along she wanted to fool everyone and not announce her true loyalties to the Steelers!

where were these so called hardcore steelers fans two months ago. I know from watching football a couple friends that like Pittsburgh but its so funny now all of these other people are now fans too. Maybe i should go get my Steeler jersey from Walmart tomorrow and pretend like i'm a fan so that i can claim my team won teh Super Bowl...

i honestly think all of the bandwagon fans on my facebook feed are chicks

wtf is that about?

2/2/2009 12:15:32 AM

yeah i have found that a large number of these closet steelers fans are girls what gives?

I have heard the steelers are the #1 team rooted for by girls in Maxim. I would think this would be the Pats or Giants.

you mean 90% of steelers fans?

Also, you chicks' opinions on sports don't really count in any sort of tally.

I'll concede that it was a really good game. Best ever; don't think so.

i jump on the Bandwagon when there's an NCSU connection. rooted for the Steelers when Cowher was there, and rooted for the Cards last night because of Adrian Wilson.

Well this is acceptable. Rooting for a player you like and wishing the team well that he plays for in the pros. However, i bet a lot of these "is pretty happy the Steelers won" ,especially the chicks , probably do not even know who plays for the Steelers beyond Rothles who they saw on the cover to their Cosmo Girl magazine and were like "oh he's hot i like him"

I turned down a job with Westinghouse because I hate the Steelers so much.

I saw where this game was called best super bowl ever....

this game wasn't even as good as the game last year.

ESPN sucks.

"I felt deeply satisfied to be sitting in the house with two brothers that were both Colts fans when the Chargers won. I definitely was screaming and hollering much to their displeasure. They give me shit for liking the chargers only after PRiv went there. Yet in reality they are only fucking Colts fans b.c their MOM went to Tennessee so they were vols fans and watched Peyton; than became colts fans after he went pro. At least i went to school with my QB. haha "

^^^hmm... i knew i recalled you bitching about people rooting for a team based on "liking a player" on that team... you really should stop posting. forever.

I was raised a Steelers fan in Tennessee. Been to my fair share of games. Found myself at Sammy's with the rest of the Steel Triangle Fan Club. Exciting game in the 4th quarter and the last play of the 1st half. Last drive for the Steelers was exciting, but not quite as good as last year Giants drive. ESPN is overhyping the "history" of this game a bit much.

Don't really get why the Steelers have quite the bandwagon following they do, and not just this year. Thought the Cardinals would have the bandwagoners. A couple of Cards "fans" managed to douche up the place by stirring the pot. They quickly ducked out after the last touchdown

Peter King @ SI: "I think it's the best Super Bowl ever."
I've thought for a couple of years now that King has gone to shit with his MMQB and other NFL musings...this just confirms it
