OK… so, I’m a Steelers fan in Seattle. The good news is that it’s all football all day, at least on KJR, and they’re talking about my Steelers. The bad news is that they’re talking much more about this local team for some reason. 
Seriously, it’s kinda weird to be rooting for the opposing team, especially for the Big Game. During the regular season (and they’ve met I want to say 4 times in 10 years), who cares. It’s not like this is New York or Cleveland (or even Pittsburgh!) where you’ll get pummelled for rooting against the local team. It’s Seattle, the place where they outlawed “Yankees Suck!” shirts at Safeco. But I did get some looks yesterday when I wore a Steelers black & gold reversible pullover. Some guy wearing a San Francisco Giants hat said that my Steelers logo was the last thing he wanted to see.
Hey buddy — wrong season, wrong sport, wrong league, and wrong team. Don’t go griping to me about rooting for my AFC Champion Pittsburgh Steelers while you proudly proclaim your loyalty to Barry “ROIDS!” Bonds.
It’s gonna be a fun two weeks…
