Hmm, I never did this for this forum...

Favorite current Steeler: Hines Ward. Classy guy.

Favorite former Steeler: Tough one. Rod Woodson, Jerome Bettis make the list. Kevin Greene too.

Steelers games I remember more than others: My first football memories were Yancy Thigpen dropping the ball in the end zone in the AFC Championship game against San Diego and Neil O'Donnell throwing two picks right to Kevin Smith on the same play-call. On the better side, James Harrison's endzone-to-endzone pick-six against Arizona in the Super Bowl will always stick with me.

Other teams I like: though I was raised a Steelers fan, I am also very much a Panthers fan (born in SC, surprisingly similar organization to the Steelers -- hopefully Rivera will be the first long-term coach like Chuck Noll was), Red Sox (local team). And I tried so hard to be a Pirates fan last year, but... well, I don't know what happened to them the second half of the year.

Not gonna be able to relate on hockey (legally interfering with someone's ability to play the game is lame) or basketball (everything's a foul). Grew up playing soccer, but refuse to watch it due to the prevalence of diving (faking fouls) and embellishment of fouls.

Ya if Crosby ever played it would be good to watch him bc he is amazing but my personal favorite is Geno over Crosby. Not saying Geno is better i just like him alot more.

Who's your favourite current Steeler? Hines Ward, Mike Wallace

Who's your favourite former Steeler? Jack Lambert, Joe Greene

Are there any Steeler games you remmeber more than others? the Div. Playoff game in 1972 against the Raiders "the immaculate Reception" to this day people still talk about it being an illegal play. I remember an interview that I saw about 15 yrs ago with the Ref that called it a touchdown. he said he had to go to the phone and discuss the play with the booth. he said when he got off the phone he quickly went to the nearest cop and asked the cop that if he called it incomplete how many escorts would he get to get off the field, the cop said none. so he (the ref) went on the field and signaled it a touchdown. good times.

What other sports do you watch, and what other teams are you a fan of? I'm a diehard Hockey fan. Boston Bruins since 1970 and I like the Celtics and Yankees Yankees since the early 70's when they sucked and Celtics because of Larry Bird 1980.

Anything else you'd like to share? can't think of anything.

Current Steeler: Ben

Game I remember most was the 2005 Indy divisonal game because I lived in Indiana at the time and I worked with a guy who made a big deal about the Steelers loss to the Colts earlier that year. The 1995 Superbowl for all the wrong reasonings.

MLB

Chicago Cubs
