Shittsburgh and Philly are the only two away stadiums I've been to where home fans have gone out of their way to be assholes to me. Pennsylvania is a miserable place

This x1000. Pennsylvania is a garbage state and it’s no secret that since some pot bellied douche from PA bought the Panthers everything has turned to sh*t.

LOL. Not gonna lie: I love Pittsburgh. Why? It's a large city with a town feel. I used to love the houses on the sides of hills, the bridges, the view of Three Rivers Stadium, as well as the sight of the PPG building and Mount Washington, the winding roads with a mixture of mom-and-pops establisments and old to mid 20th century residences in spots. My family lived there for a bit 36 years ago in the North Hills area. 

The only job I ever walked out on was Eat'n Park on McKnight Rd. 

Downtown was alive at night.

I'd spend some nights with friends in the Hill District (Pittsburgh's hood), never deterred by the hype of real and imagined crime. 

I had good times in Pittsburgh.

The only thing that I hated about Pennsylvania was all the damned hills on I80. It's a mental workout driving a truck on I80 across the state in the winter.

Never a truck driver but logged plenty of miles on I-80 crossing the state of PA going to the Midwest. Talk about a long haul!

The strength of the Steelers was reborn in small cities all over the South. 
 

Folks with accents thicker than Andy Griffith claiming to be “lifelong fans” professed their love for the team from a state in which they’ve never step foot.

Most of which could not find Pittsburgh on a map.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
