| Bob: (Long time viewer first time emailer) --- I was just out in Denver and, of course, you know I get around a little and am a bit social, so there were a lot of people who asked me where I was from and when I said Pittsburgh the first thing the majority of these people said went something like, "Yeah, the Steelers = You're in the Super Bowl!" .... and they would comment on how deeply passionate we Pittsburgh are about our Steelers = A few folks commented how nuts Pittsburgh people are about the Steelers. But, you know, there was this general respect and admiration coming through and, I bet you, those people are gonna be cheering on the Black & Gold. And, my friends in L.A. too and others I meet when I'm out there = They dig the Steelers. I have to admit, I dig seeing Lynn Swann in the Sewickley Starbucks on a regular basis. It makes me smile like the giddy kid I was watching him in my parent's home w/ my six siblings and my grandmother on my father's side who lived w/ us (and most people couldn't understand her broken English) w/ her rosary in her hands, praying as she did all day everyday but jumping up from her seat to cheer w/ us all (w/ the family) when Pittsburgh did good!!!
