My Dad took me to my first Steeler's game on 11/20/1960. In those days, the [still] cheapskate Rooney's would not buy a stadium, and they played in Pitt Panther stadium on the edge between Oakland (where my Dad went to grad school) and the Hill District (where we lived.) Pittsburgh actually won that game 14-10. In those days, we did not win many. We did not have a decent team until I was in High School.

Since then, I have hated Cleveland in all of its forms, including the Baltimore Modells. Sadly, I don't think either the Steelers or the Ravens are anywhere near the teams they were two years ago -- or even last year. Luckily, the OH teams continue to be poor to mediocre. Both because of history and because of how awful they are, it actually bothered me much more to lose to Cleveland than the Ravens.

I believe this year Houston is playing Steeler[/Raven] type football better than anyone else. Any team can stumble, but if they play their game I don't think anyone in either Conference can stop them.
