1. Crap! Now I gotta go and unhate part of the 70's Steelers

May the recipient of the immacculate reception bring about the end of bush*s reign of terror!

3. He's a nice guy, too.

I sold him a bag of ice once, back when I worked in a convenience store during summers home from college :)

2. Yes! Franco Harris was my favorite player in the 70's

Unfortunately I doubt my favorite player of the 80's is.

4. A good man. Unlike the assmunch Repug Jerome Bettis.

5. That really surprised me-

I always took the Bus for a Dem.

6. Wouldn't "Classic Steelers Fans" be pre-'70s Steelers fans.

I mean, if you weren't on board before then, you're really just a bandwagoner, no? (Granting an exception for those born into Steeler families and in the Pittsburgh area.)

8. I couldn't jump the bandwagon until Superbowl IX

Because that was the year I was born (1974).

9. Note the exception in my post.

10. Gotcha-

sorry :)
ON EDIT: there really wasn't anything "classic" about the pre-70's Steelers. Except for a few random seasons, they were pretty sucko!

7. I just tried searching for Myron Cope-

but to no avail. I even used his real name, Kopelman.

Yoy! Double-yoy!

14. He's been ill - wasn't a part of the local NFL draft coverage.

But he's recovering and will probably be back for the season.

[Beware the Beast Man]

16. I really hope he recovers

It will be a tragic day when Myron passes on. He's the best. My wife (an Ohioan) can barely stand him!

18. When I was growing up in Ohio

Myron's voice used to irritate me too. But now it's all sweet nostalgia.

22. Welcome to DU, dwilson!

:toast:

19. Hope he gets well soon.................

I receive a lot of abuse because of my appreciation of Myron. Many folks hate his voice. But to me his voice is synonymous with football, and thusly, a good thing.

11. Will he run out the door just before he gets to the voting booth?

12. Franco's Italian Army

mobilizing for Kerry. :-)

[sasquatch]

21. I remember hearing about those guys!

:DI need a German-American athlete that backs Dems:)

[MikeG]

13. I got a feeling - John Kerry's going to the Super Bowl!

[Beware the Beast Man]

15. The Immaculate Election! **groan***

You knew the joke was coming sooner or later :eyes:

[livetohike]

20. :groan:

but a good one :-)

17. YeeeeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Always loved Franco for years and years. Nothing like that 4 time Super Bowl team.
