Baseball<\/a> may be our national past time, but this time of year it doesn’t generally get a passing thought. This time of year is reserved for the most watched sport in the United States–football<\/a>. This years football has been more than just exciting, with upsets and wins by teams we never really expected to do as well as they have.<\/p>\n

Now of course, when it comes to good football, it doesn’t get much more exciting than the Steelers<\/a>.
\nNow this comes, mind you from a dyed in the wool Pennsylvanian Steeler fan, but let’s face it, whats not to love about the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1974 to 1979 saw the franchise becoming the first NFL<\/a> franchise to win four Super Bowl<\/a> titles in six seasons, which is in fact a feat that still remains unmatched by any other team, a feat which is yet to be matched. They are still the team which was the only sixth-seeded team in NFL history to advance to a championship game; and win it, to take the Super Bowl<\/a> win in 2006.<\/p>\n

While the Cowboys<\/a> are one of the most beloved teams playing, Pittsburgh<\/a> too is ranked among the most popular of the teams taking the field, and this year, not without reason.<\/p>\n

“In August 2008, ESPN.com ranked Steelers’ fans as the best in the NFL, citing their “unbelievable” sellout streak of 299 consecutive games”<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

This weekend will see them at their best, when they take the field against the Chargers<\/a> at Heinz Field.
\nDo you plan to be there? There are still tickets available<\/a>, but how long are they going to last?<\/p>\n

Kickoff is 4:45 P.M.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
