How many steelers fans pretend...

He picked the Jets.  I picked the Saints.  I already had an autographed (reproduction) of Archie Manning that I had gotten years earlier so it seemed a good fit.

After a couple decades of cheering for them it obviously wasn't just a joke anymore.  I really am a Saints fan.  And a couple years before they won their super bowl we got new neighbors and she was from Louisiana and a huge Saints fan so we bonded over that and had the Super Bowl part at their house!     

But the Steelers always come first.

I've done this before.  I always like a good underdog, so I pulled for the lovable losers....the Aints and Yuccaneers.  Mainly the Saints because they were in the hated 49ers division, and Yucs had suffered so long.  Who'd a thunk they would both have rings now, and here my Bengals sit.
