Then I'd have to add 2 other NFL championships pre-merger for the skins too. :p.

Anyways, I've known some Philly fans from the city or other more populated areas, and they're nothing like the ones that come out from the sticks for games, from what they've told me. They're an entirely different type of animal on game day.

Maybe I've been told wrong and city fans are just as terrible and an embarrassment to sportsmanship and the human race in general as well?

Typical argument of the currently bad team who wishes they were anywhere near as good as the teams before them...way to be.

I honestly don't really know the difference between the fans based on where they live. I always assumed the biggest jerks came from Jersey

"That other Pittsburgh football team."

Ahem. 5 Super Bowls what? I don't live in the sticks. methinks there aren't too many "sticks" around urban Pittsburgh.

Go Pens.

it's all in fun man, I've got no beef with the Steelers/Pens even though I should. I'm not thrilled with the Flyers performance in this series, but I will admit that Crosby is nasty and for the pens to start the postseason 11-1 is very impressive.

Excuse me?

Was Philly in the playoffs last year?
You want to talk bad teams, its all relative. You better be a fan of New England or the Giants (or the other Playoff teams from last year) if you're going to go that route.

And I didn't address this last time, but as far as "maybe you're thinking about that OTHER Pennsylvania football team" goes... I've not once heard of stories of Pittsburgh fans being violent, shouting racial slurs, spitting, throwing things at players/coaches, or whatever. They like their beer, thats for sure, and they definitely support their team on road games. Pittsburgh does not have that reputation of its fans. The Steelers fans' reputation is nothing short of loyal and die hard. They're respectable.

I wasn't saying Steelers fans were violent/rude, I was saying they all live in the sticks, but it was just a joke.

Understood...but the imagery of saying the fans are from the sticks emotes that they are an uncultured, rude, rowdy group of people, much like I've stereotyped (and many others have witnessed) Philly fans to be.

I don't believe you guys are mentioning the Browns? Hello? Do the words Quinn, Braylon, and Super Bowl mean anything to anyone around here?

Nope. Because the Browns are not very good. =)


Go Steelers/Pens! =D
