fan-metrics

I really couldn't come up with any insight into the news earlier in the week that the Pittsburgh Steelers have the highest percentage of fans among local women. Think it is just a bit of local trivia? It garnered newswire coverage that would run in the USAToday nationally.


Then the news yesterday is that a Pittsburgh Steeler fan crowned superfan by CBS Sports. That's kind of interesting in that the criteria was based on which fan knew his, or her of course, team best. So we are certifiably erudite fans.

Since last week just could not have counted, tomorrow must be the real opening of the Steelers' season. I have to admit I do not read too much sports news. I do find it interesting to read the sports news from the opponents perspective sometimes. The Buffalo Sports Blog Buffalo Ramblings has an interview with Pittsburgh's Behind the Steel Curtain blog. Even the Buffaloans are not predicting victory and seem to be stretching to say they will just cover the spread. (see comment) Where is Bill Johnson when you need some chalkboard material?
