Yeah, I joke about it, but in all seriousness, it kind of makes me uncomfortable when I see him make pro-Steeler posts on Facebook. I knew him when he was in college in the mid-90s, and he was so anti-Steeler back then that it just doesn't feel right.
To be fair, though, he claims that he never really healed from the pain caused by Modell's move to Baltimore, and that as a result he can't bring himself to accept the "new" Browns as the Browns he grew up with. Also, he is now pastoring in the Pittsburgh area, so rooting for the Steelers helps him connect with his congregation. Adding those two things together, he probably has a better case than most for jumping on the bandwagon.
That being said, it still feels wrong ...
