Steelers to loose Super Bowl Trophies

“We are not about to lose this Great American tradition in the wake of these difficult times.”

That’s over 95 percent of the teams in the NFL will not have to worry about loosing any Super Bowl Trophies.

The New York Yankees will redistribute two of their world series trophies to the Pittsburgh Pirates as a supplement to their loosing 16 straight seasons and counting.

The writer got one out of four right!

I was hoping they would send one to the “Houston Texans”. They could use some inspiration.

Dan Rooney would probably be pleased. It really burned me that when he was made Ambassador to Ireland, the national press as well as the locals reported that he was a lifelong Republican. Sure he is, and I’m the Pope.

This makes perfect sense.

Football is already a great bastion of socialism.

Just look at what happens in Football.

Redistribution of wealth - The WORST teams get REWARDED with 1st pick in the Draft in an attempt to “redistribute the talent” and EVEN THE PLAYING FIELD (and we are talking about professional businesses here!).

Vox Populi - The College Champions are VOTED for!! And not by everyone, just the Elite Media . Isn’t that how we got 0bama?

Success prevention - Salary caps! Yup, been there in the NFL forever and now being proposed by 0bama for businesses everywhere.

Never mind the actual achievement, let’s just pump up the self esteem - America’s championship is a domestic post season tournament between just 16 US based teams and then unilaterally declare the winners as “World Champions”!

Yup WORLD champions of the NATIONAL Football League...LOL!

Government style waste of time - Football takes three hours to play out a one hour play clock. So for two thirds of the time ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is happening. It’s like being at the DMV! And, of that one hour play clock there is only about 12 to 15 minutes that the ball is motion, the rest of the time is run off.

Government style inefficiency - 52 players suit up to play a game that requires just 11 players on the field.

It’s Socialism enshrined!

So redistributing the trophies makes perfect sense....:-)

"I hate the Cowboys."

Would you still hate them if they had a more Murchison/Schramm/Landry-like Owner/GM/Coach team today?

**No more absurd than Congress mandating a college football playoff plan.**

Thus my statement.. Because of the Current situation with our Government, with the ZERO in the WH and the Idiots in Congress, It’s harder and harder to tell where the Comedy ends and the SATIRE BEGINS.

As a long suffering bengals fan, I welcome the trophy and pledge my allegiance to dear leader Comrade Obama. Without dear leader’s help, the Bengals would never have a Super Bowl trophy. Piss be upon the steelers.

Definitely Manchester United - their advertising programs in the States are certainly as important as anything the Lions are peddling outside of season!Show them the spirit of the AIG recovery lives on.

I was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area — lifelong Steelers fan, win or lose. I appreciate the sarcasm here but... Really, shouldn't one of the trophies go to the Vikings instead of Dallas? After all, the Vikings have made the most trips to the big show without a win... :-)

Are they dangerous? Run for your lives!

It’s hard enough trying to outrun mere anarchy and the blood-dimmed tide.

Yeah, Pelosi....

Hey, how did San Francisco get off scot-free? Did Pelosi Galore cut a deal to leave the Niners 5 trophies undistributed? Surely the Bengals deserve one of those trophies. They came so close....
