I suffered through an entire season of Pirates Baseball, and my reward is Steelers football. They are now 2-6, the playofs are out of the question, and I seriously doubt they will hit .500.
I still love them, but they are testing me.

You know, this won’t make you feel happy, but I must say this is a testament to the current system for drafting and keeping players with limited free agency.
Great teams go through hard times. Obscure teams get a shot at greatness. Compare that to baseball, where it’s a perpetual, “So who are the Yankees playing in the World Series this year?”

Sorry, the above was a failed attempt to link the Steelers’ new look to the new boyfriend. Apologies.

At least you’re not a Raiders fan.

John,
become a Browns fan!
*ducks*
You just described the Browns’ every season. They win their first two, typically, then get stomped by some nobody team. Then they roll in to Three Rivers, lose a squeaker, and settle in for twelve games of resolute mediocrity.
Browns football: Combining the screeching self-torture of Red Sox fandom with the comforting numbness of a Valium high!
And WE don’t even get the benefit of Primanti Bros. samwiches.

I, along with Dixie, feel your pain most exquisitely. And, as he said, at least you did not drive 800 miles round trip (as I did this weekend) to watch *your* team get beaten by the friggin’ Lions! The Steelers at least had the decency to lose to a really good team.
