[DCSteelerNation] Would you ever root for Cleveland???
There is no possible way I would root
for any other team, much less the Browns, and that includes the Super Bowl.
If we're not in it, I simply do not care who wins. I don't hate all of
the other teams and I don't have a "second favorite team." It's
this simple: I was born and raised in the Burgh and even before the 70s
Dynasty, the Steelers were, are and always will be my #1 and only team!
We had a great game last night and tho I expected us to win, I had no idea
how good we'd be or bad the Ravens would look! Ben, James, Troy, Santonio,
Hines--what wide receiver in the NFL can make a hit like Hines! GO STEELERS!!
(btw, I'm seeing media hype that the Browns could beat us next week...at
home?? BRING IT!)
