Once the Steelers are eliminated, I root for either the Browns or Bengals if they're in it. If not I root for any team that hasn't won it before. I understand getting laughed at for holding onto a team, because I never got to watch the Pittsburgh Pirates win a World Series and they laugh at me for still being a fan.
Yeah, I always bristle at being called "bandwagon" just because I'm a Steeler fan. There are quite a few of us (maybe even the majority) who are just "Pittsburgh fans". And because of the Pirates, we totally get the "stand by your team" mentality.
I have to admit that my interest wanes a bit when the Pirates stink, but baseball is kind of a different animal in that they play every night (if you think it's tough to subject to yourself to suckiness on a weekly basis, try doing it daily). But never have I been tempted to root for the Yankees, Giants, etc.
