It’s almost halfway through the 2007 - 2008 football season, and yeah the Steeler’s are still here. We’re not the best we ever were, nor are we as good as we will be.
What does it mean to be a Steeler’s fan?
"I hated putting on that purple uniform, and I hated that raven bird. What really ticked me off is when we played Pittsburgh our whole stadium seemed to be filled with Pittsburgh fans." Tackle Orlando Brown, on playing in Baltimore for Art Modell's Ravens (1999).
"We're coming from everywhere. We play with 15 guys in the huddle. We have guys parachuting from airplanes, fans coming from out of the stands to help us go after people." Kevin Greene.
"The only thing I want to see different is that there were a lot of Steelers fans there, which is great for the Steelers, but this is our home." Mike Holmgren, Seahawks/Steelers Game (2003)
We are here sitting in our bars or on our couches. We are here cheering every tackle, every sack, and every forced fumble. We are here wanting to smash your face in.
"Who is Joe Namath? This is a guy who, if he played in the league today, I'd probably just go hit him late and see what he did, just for the hell of it. Joe Namath can go to hell; he can kiss my ass." Greg Lloyd, after NBC commentator Joe Namath accused Lloyd of playing dirty (1991).
"Going after the QB is like playing king of the mountain. When you get the QB, you're on top of the mountain." Joe Greene.
"I am very aggressive and very physical. On the field I guess I am just plain mean." Jack Lambert.
"He had no teeth, and he was slobbering all over himself. I'm thinking, 'You can have your money back, just get me out of here. Let me go be an accountant." I can't tell you how badly I wanted out of there." Denver rookie QB John Elway, on Jack Lambert, after Lambert and the Steelers knocked Elway out of his first game as a pro (1983).
We hate the Ravens. We hate Dallas, and we hate Cincinnati. And if you’re from Cleveland, there’s a special circle of hell just for Browns fans.
Nope, we’re not on top. Yeah, New England is pretty much unstoppable. But when you come to Pittsburgh, or we come to your town, you’re gonna lose some players.
Cyclonic out in Philly, chadams in New York, cheartb and Safari Man out there in Ohio, you can box with me anytime.
Except for Sundays...
