heres what i wrote to the idiot that wrote that last
email.

Hiyas,

I don't mean to insult you, but you have insulted alot
of people.

oh. i might not be the greatest speller, but I know
what football and loyalty to a team is.

first of all let me introduce myself, I am Sterling
Stone, President of the DC Steeler Nation, The
Official fan club of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the
Nations Capital.  And you, you just must be named the
Village idiot.  Good to meet you :)

Now i reviewed your article and even your prepared
chart of data that organized all of the teams in the
NFL, and i Had a few concerns.

1.  now i know that i am a steeler fan, but even if i
wasn't.  when was the last time that you honestly ran
into a Cleveland fan outside of Cleveland?  I mean yes
the city supports their team, but if your implying
that they are nationwide, then your sadly mistaken.
Ive lived in DC for 6 years now and have met 2
Cleveland browns fans (1 works at the Steeler Bar here
and the other i met at the Steeler browns fan, a
bartender who willing admits he is a member of a hand
full of fans on the east coast)  yet they have the
largest fan support?  i guess if you include the
ravens fans in that then maybe in real life they are
number 15

2.
raiders last in their division?  come on do you sit at
home sip mai tais and watch the Dr phill commentary of
football or do you even know what football is?  come
on... thjey have some of the craziest fans in the
country...have you ever heard of john madden?  i know
you may not have, but i am sure you guys share the
same IQ..."you gotta score to win"

3. Have you ever seen Saturday Night Live?  DA
BEARS...but no....you think think the lions have more
of a fan following then them.  hey I guess that must
be left wing liberal crap to someone as astute as you.

4 and finally - 21st?  Are you serious?  you have the
5 time Super Bowl Champs that low on the list?  your a
joke.  When teams last year instituted the "black and
gold rule" to stop steeler fans from going to games.
banning people from selling tickets to steeler fans,
(vikings) not allowing steeler fans to buy tickets for
1 game (Jacksonville) and better yet, having public
pleas on radio not to sell or scalp your tickets to
Steeler fans (ravens)

so if your that much of an idiot that you have a
science that says the browns, pats, giants and
dolphins have better fans than the Steelers.  Well,
what can i say, we allow c students to be president,
we can allow F students to write on line articles.



go kiss some brown

Sterling Stone

A MUST read! This in from Steelers fan and President of the Philly Steelers Fan Club, Mike LoGreco:

Hello to everyone in Steelers Nation!

A friend recently sent me this article, ranking all 32 NFL teams according to fan support. You'll not only find the results shocking, but also insulting.

http://www.bizjournals.com/edit_special/43.html#l

The author of this study is G. Scott Thomas and is editor of Demographics Daily. Let's bombard him with E-mails to show him the power of STEELERS NATION. Email him at"

southflorida@...

Put on the subject line: "Attention G. Scott Thomas"

Come on Steelers fans, let's show this guy his rankings mean SQUAT!

HERE WE GO STEELERS...HERE WE GO!

Kick Miami's butts!

Folks
I'd like to sing a song about the American Dream
About me
About you
About the way our American hearts beat way down in the bottoms of our chests
About that special feeling we get in the cockles of our hearts
Or maybe below the cockles
Maybe in the sub-cockle area
Maybe in the liver
Maybe in the kidneys
Maybe even in the colon
We don't know

I'm just a regular joe
With a regular job
I'm your average white
Suburbanite slob
I like football, and porno, and books about war
I've got an average house
With a nice hardwood floor
My wife, and my job
My kids, and my car
My feet on my table
And a Cuban cigar
But sometimes that just ain't enough
To keep a man like me interested
Oh no, no way, uh uhh
No, I gotta go out and have fun
At someone else's expense
Oh yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

I drive really slow
In the ultra-fast lane
While people behind me are going insane

I'm an asshole
(he's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole
(he's an asshole, such an asshole)

I use public toilets
And I piss on the seat
I walk around in the summer time sayin', "How about this heat?"

I'm an asshole
(he's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole
(he's the worlds biggest asshole)

Sometimes I park in the handicapped spaces
While handicapped people
Make handicapped faces

I'm an asshole
(he's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole
(he's a real fucking asshole)

Maybe I shouldn't be singin' this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong...
...
NAAAHHHHH!

I'm an asshole
(he's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole
(he's the world's biggest asshole)

You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadilac El Dorado Convertable
Hot pink!
With whale skin hub caps
An all leather cow interior
And big brown baby seal eyes for headlights
YEAH!
And I'm gonna drive around in that baby
At 115 miles per hour
Getting one mile per gallon
Sucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonalds in the old-fashioned non-biodegradable Styrofoam containers
And when I'm done sucking down those grease-ball burgers
I'm gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag
And then I'm gonna toss the Styrofoam containers right out the side
And there ain't a Goddamn thing anybody can do about it
You know why?
'Cause we got the bombs, that's why!
Two words: Nuclear Fuckin' Weapons
Okay!?
Russia, Germany, Romania
They can have all the Democracy they want
They can have a big Democracy cake walk
Right through the middle of Tienemen Square
And it won't make a lick of difference
Because we got the bombs
Okay!?
John Wayne's not dead
He's frozen!
And as soon as we find a cure for cancer We're gonna thaw out "The Duke"
And he's gonna be pretty pissed off
You know why?
Have you ever taken a cold shower?
Well, multiply that by 15 million times
That's how pissed off "The Duke"'s gonna be
I'm gonna get "The Duke"
And John Cassavetes
And Lee Marvin
And Sam Peckinpah
And a case of whiskey
And drive down to Texas
And-
(Hey, Hey! You know you really are an asshole)
Why don't you just shut-up and sing the song, pal?
You know, the whole time I thought I was that asshole
And it turns out it was him
What an asshole!

I'm an asshole
(he's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole
(he's the worlds biggest asshole)

A - SS - HO - LE!
Everybody!!
A - SS - HO - LE!

I'm an asshole and proud of it!

Oh yeah. There is also a football game between the defending Super Bowl champions and the Miami Illegal Immigrant Dolphins.

Now you know how popular the Pour House has become over the past several years. It's the supreme Steeler bar in the greater DC area. So tell your friends, neighbors and most importantly...your boss...to let you get to the bar as early as possible tomorrow to get a seat.

Starting at 7:00.....SEVEN O'CLOCK!!!....we'll start with some trivia, polka music, beer specials and GIVEAWAYS....so get there early and kick an capitol hill intern from your regular seat......or standing space.

I walk around in the summer time sayin', "How about this heat?"

I'm an asshole
(he's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole
(he's the worlds biggest asshole)

Sometimes I park in the handicapped spaces
While handicapped people
Make handicapped faces

I'm an asshole
(he's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole
(he's a real fucking asshole)

Maybe I shouldn't be singin' this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong...
...
NAAAHHHHH!

I'm an asshole
(he's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole
(he's the world's biggest asshole)

You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadilac El Dorado Convertable
Hot pink!
With whale skin hub caps
An all leather cow interior
And big brown baby seal eyes for headlights
YEAH!
And I'm gonna drive around in that baby
At 115 miles per hour
Getting one mile per gallon
Sucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonalds in the old-fashioned non-biodegradable Styrofoam containers
And when I'm done sucking down those grease-ball burgers
I'm gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag
And then I'm gonna toss the Styrofoam containers right out the side
And there ain't a Goddamn thing anybody can do about it
You know why?
'Cause we got the bombs, that's why!
Two words: Nuclear Fuckin' Weapons
Okay!?
Russia, Germany, Romania
They can have all the Democracy they want
They can have a big Democracy cake walk
Right through the middle of Tienemen Square
And it won't make a lick of difference
Because we got the bombs
Okay!?
John Wayne's not dead
He's frozen!
And as soon as we find a cure for cancer We're gonna thaw out "The Duke"
And he's gonna be pretty pissed off
You know why?
Have you ever taken a cold shower?
Well, multiply that by 15 million times
That's how pissed off "The Duke"'s gonna be
I'm gonna get "The Duke"
And John Cassavetes
And Lee Marvin
And Sam Peckinpah
And a case of whiskey
And drive down to Texas
And-
(Hey, Hey! You know you really are an asshole)
Why don't you just shut-up and sing the song, pal?
You know, the whole time I thought I was that asshole
And it turns out it was him
What an asshole!

I'm an asshole
(he's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole
(he's the worlds biggest asshole)

A - SS - HO - LE!
Everybody!!
A - SS - HO - LE!

I'm an asshole and proud of it!

lets get ready...Less than 1 week!!!!

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Duce Staley made the Pittsburgh
Steelers' 53-man roster Saturday despite an uneven
preseason.

Staley dropped to No. 3 on the depth chart at running
back and may not dress for some early-season games.

Staley's roster status was in doubt - even coach Bill
Cowher said so - after the three-time 1,000-yard
rusher with the Eagles averaged 2.2 yards per carry
during exhibition play. The Steelers showed their
concern at the position by trading Friday with New
England for rookie Patrick Cobbs.

But Cowher recalled Saturday how injuries briefly left
the Steelers with only one healthy running back last
season, even when they were carrying longtime star
Jerome Bettis in addition to starter Willie Parker,
Staley and Verron Haynes.

"We've got to be able to use these guys to where
they're not going to be hit out by November and
December," Cowher said. "It's very important that
we're able to keep these guys fresh. It's a big key
for us, a team that runs the football."

Haynes, used mostly as a third-down back during his
first four NFL seasons, is now Parker's backup despite
never carrying more than 12 times in a game.

Staley, the Steelers' most experienced runner, figured
to go into the season as the backup. He was signed to
start two years ago and was averaging 101 yards per
game through seven games, but has played little since
then after injuring a hamstring.

Cobbs, the Patriots' leading rusher during the
preseason, won't begin practicing until Sunday.
However, it seems likely he will be activated for
games ahead of Staley because he also plays special
teams.

"The kid had a very good preseason, watching him run
the ball, catch it and cover kicks," Cowher said. "He
was very impressive."

Cowher also designated Ryan Clark as the starting free
safety ahead of Tyrone Carter and rookie Anthony
Smith. Clark, formerly with the Redskins, was the
Steelers' only major offseason pickup. He signed as a
free agent after Chris Hope left to play for
Tennessee.

Willie Reid, the third-round draft pick from Florida
State, will open ahead of first-rounder Santonio
Holmes as the punt returner. Cowher hasn't made up his
mind about the kickoff returners for Thursday's opener
against Miami, but Holmes and Reid were used there
during the preseason.

"We've never really gotten the kicking return phase
going," Cowher said. "I know we've played different
people and combinations, but the fact of the matter is
we haven't been in sync returning the ball on punts or
kickoffs."

After a 15-14, last-play loss to Carolina on Thursday
gave the Steelers only their second winless preseason
in 40 years, Cowher said these final roster cuts might
be the most difficult he has made.

But there were no surprises when the Steelers cut 20
players Saturday, even though quarterbacks Omar Jacobs
and Shane Boyd were among them. That leaves only
starter Ben Roethlisberger and backup Charlie Batch on
the roster, but fifth-round pick Jacobs will join the
practice squad unless he is claimed by another team.

Wide receiver Cedrick Wilson, a former high school QB,
will be the emergency quarterback.

The Steelers also cut punter Mike Barr for the third
consecutive year even though he had a solid camp,
assuring 16-year veteran Chris Gardocki of keeping his
job.

Also cut were offensive linemen Tim Brown and Brandon
Torrey, tight ends Charles Davis and Jon Dekker,
defensive ends Orien Harris, Shaun Nua and Lee
Vickers, running back Cedric Humes, fullbacks Branden
Joe and John Kuhn, safety Mike Lorello, cornerback
Anthony Madison, wide receiver Lee Mays, defensive
tackle Scott Paxson, linebackers Richard Seigler and
Ron Stanley and wide receiver Walter Young.

The Steelers had to make two more cuts later Saturday.

Four of the five draft picks made after the fourth
round were cut - Harris, Jacobs, Davis and Humes -
with only sixth-round center Marvin Philip making it.
The Steelers have never cut so many picks since
director of football operations Kevin Colbert took
over seven years ago, but they have never had so
little roster turnover during an offseason.
