[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!)

You only root for the Browns if a win gets the Steelers in the playoffs. Other than that, never. Not even if hell froze over and the Browns were in the Super...

So you have to bring that one up, AJ? The pints of Yeager that we smuggled into the game in Denver probably influenced our debate. Tell you what, I would never...
