My uncle then proceeded to pull string after string to get the personal priest of the Rooney family, as in the man who literally travels with the Steelers and holds mass with them before each game, to perform the ceremony. In the middle of the very Catholic wedding said priest stops to announce to everyone that he agreed to marry them ONLY after making my cousin swear on a Bible to raise their children Steelers fans... Welcome to Pittsburgh.

That sounds about right. Since you are new, I'll add my short Steelers story: My daddy had a heart attack during a Steelers game and wouldn't go to the hospital until halftime! His stats improved the minute he learned that the Steelers had won.
