The Pittsburgh Steelers are the best team in the nation. They may not have the most talented QB (although he isn't half bad either, eh?), they may not be stationed in the most glamorous, rich city. But what's special is that they have the most loyal fans, and many team members that wouldn't play anywhere else. Take Jerome Bettis. A few years ago he received a major pay cut. He was getting paid very few by NFL standards. Yet he stayed in Pittsburgh; he loved the people, the team, and Coach Cowher. Hines Ward stated "I won't play for anyone other than Coach Cowher." At the Pittsburgh pep rally after they won the Super Bowl, 200,000 people showed up to line the city streets. For a city the size of Pittsburgh, that's a lot. People in the Pittsburgh area (I know many) said that one school district even closed down for that day. There were black and gold streamers at the airport. Every person owns a Super Bowl Champions t-shirt. You may hate the Steelers, but they have won 5 super bowls. =]
