The spot released Friday is paid for by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, which was founded by New York City's Michael Bloomberg and Boston's Thomas Menino.

I don’t follow sports, so I don’t know who any of those people are, but judging by the monikers - I would guess the majority are Amish football players.

I’m only interested in what Jack Lambert has to say.

I find it a little racist that they are all African-American but that’s just me.

I'm not going to argue this with you again buddy. I've demolished this claim so many times. You wanna be a Steeler hater that's fine, but stop pretending it's the politics.

Just as is the case with the rest of the country, about half of the Steeler people who are political are 0bama fans, and about half aren't. That includes the Rooney family as well, which is split right down the middle. A conservative Florida Congressman who is part owner (named, oddly, Rooney) was not happy about his relative's public support for Zero. James Harrison, the defensive player of the year the last time the Steelers won the Superbowl was also not amused.

Typical of the nonsense you Steeler haters post is the crap that I just responded to. Stop spreading lies. No Steeler did a pro (or anti) RKBA radio spot for 0bama, and you know it. And if you didn't know it -- which I doubt -- you know it now, so don't keep repeating it.

The owner donated so much $$ and support that Baraq made him Ambassador (those don’t come cheap).
The head coach is a major financial and campaign supporter.
Many of the current and former players are financial and campaign supporters.
Nobody’s pretending, it’s all documented.

While we’re all waiting, here’s what I’ll post: The Colts have never beaten the Steelers in a playoff game. Congratulations, Indy.

It’s not a start at all. It contains the names of two people you’ve already named. You’ve said players. Who are they?

This was a PSA? Aired for free? Sounds like a political commercial. Did somebody break a law?

Why would I care about the Indiana Irsays, other than the fact that they have robbed me of hard earned $$ to build a $750 million dollar unneeded stadium?

Congratulations. He retired 30 years ago. And in those three decades, The Colts never beat the Steelers when it counted.

Keep looking.
