HERE WE GO! Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Jets Playoff Game- Single Digits on the Thermometer Predicted
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Reporting from Pittsburgh- I put myself on assignment. Saturday morning I was thinking about a post for Sunday’s game. It was all blue sky and about ten degrees. Got out of bed and drove through the Strip District on my way down to
Heinz Field. The guy who sold me the Croatian
STEELERSFan T-shirts last year agreed to a shot. Fans lined up for breakfast outside
DeLuca’s. Dumptrucks were being filled with snow from the stadium parking lots. Rows of Porta-Potties stood empty, waiting for the Sunday tailgaters. Up in the stands I saw an army spreading salt left and right. Went for coffee in
Aspinwall afterwards and ended in the
J & W Variety Store (EST. 1969) where I purchased a tiny 99 cents pencil sharpener. Lots of
STEELERS gear and accessories for sale. I asked if it would be okay if I photographed the display and the proprietor said – Sure! Handed me a complimentary
HERE WE GO button as I left. Everyone’s pumped! I read a
letter to the editor (5th one down)in the
Post-Gazette from the guy in the New England End Zone Militia asking us to drown out the JETS fans and win! Similar to the players message to the fans
click here- BE LOUD!!

Everyone should be a FAN of something – it’s so much fun. Total dedication.

The Game must be on Channel 11 – NBC ??
The other Channel, 2-CBS? – has been advertising a special “Hawaii 5-0″ for tonight! Given the cold here, I find this very amusing!!! Think I’ll watch BOTH – divided loyalties, as always!!!
