For those who don't know, the mayor of Pittsburgh is named Luke Ravenstahl. In order to correct any unsympathetic thoughts about his loyalty to our beloved Steelers, Mayor Ravenstahl has officially changed his name to "Steeler-stahl"! He does plan to change his name back to Ravenstahl on Monday.

We take our Steelers SERIOUSLY around here!!

Luke Ravenstahl is hot. Srsly. When I lived there, there was a billboard between work and my house that had his picture on it and said "Let's Redd Up Pittsburgh" and every time I saw it I wanted to take it down and move it to my apartment.

So hot. Too bad he's married.

And yeah, Steelers is serious business.

"Coincidentally, -stahl is German for steel."

So it's like saying "Steeler-steel". Kinda like saying "I'm going to the grocery store supermarket." LOL

Meh, I'm sure some dahntahn Pittsburghers have mangled the English language worse, 'n 'at.

Or as the car bumper stickers say, n@.

ETA: I'm a little disappointed that I'm not there - the last time the Steelers won the Super Bowl I was in Erie. I've yet to experience the true pandemonium that ensues in Pittsburgh when they win the AFC championship.

Live-in was there for the Super Bowl, though. He actually got to go to the AFC Championship game (his roommate was a photographer for the Steelers). Oakland was on practical lockdown - apparently they thought there would be riots? I'm guessing it sounds something like Chicago did when Obama won the election. Honking horns, people screaming, etc. - in general a fun time!

Jerome Bettis is still my favorite football player ever, and mostly because he looks so cuddly.

No... It's officially Steeler-stahl, at least until Monday! They showed the ceremony on tv.

The odds of the Ravens beating the Steelers? Nevermore!

First good decision Lukey has made in a long while.

I'm not sure if I actually want to be out and watching the game somewhere or in hiding from the craziness. This game is going to be ugggggglleeeee.

Congrats...don't sleep on Warner

Congratulations to the Ravens as being a worthy opponent. I sincerely hope that McGahee turns out to be 100% okay.

That hit was awful! I was hoping to see the thumbs up from him while being taken off the field, but it didn't happen. Although, during the game, they said that he's moving his arms and legs now, so hopefully he'll be alright.

Other than that, good game. I will admit that the Steelers are pretty much my least favorite team, but I will cheer for them only because my boyfriend likes them (and he cheered for the Patriots with me last year)

In all honesty, I thought our Clark would have been hurt worse - both of his legs went up in the air, and I thought for sure that he would have been at least winded. But, I guess they train for that.

Yea, but Clark kind of lifted his head right after the hit. McGahee was immediately down and didn't really move. I figured there was no way he was walking off the field.
