Pittsburgh should drop the name "Steelers"

Either it was a nod to the FIRST Bengals team back in the lat 30's (that had one winning season...fitting).

Or to Brown's high school team he coached...the Tigers.  (Also fitting as the Bengals tend to play like high school kids.)

So, in other words, the Bengals' name never had a distinct connection to the city, so it's the same as it always was.  Kind of like Lions and Detroit or many others in the same vein, which is totally beside the point, as far as the OP is concerned.

It's just the Steelers' name that is more of a taunt now than the tribute it once was.
