Steel Curtain Nation - M25
 STEEL CURTAIN NATION I managed to save a file over my Titan's dynasty a few days ago. Prompting a fit of courses. That, though as led me here. Keeping up some of the threads here, I saw Gronk mention that someone should take up a Steelers franchise. When that didn't happen, so I figured why not.

Re: Steel Curtain Nation - M25
 TEAM HISTORY The Pittsburgh Pirates, named after Pittsburgh's baseball team, were established in 1933. 1940 marked Pittsburgh's first season as the Steelers, not the Pirates, this name would carry on until the season of 1943, where the Steelers would combine with the Philadelphia Eagles; the following season Pittsburgh would once again combine with a team, this time with the Chicago Cardinals. The season of 1945 would bring about the return of the Steelers, a name that has held on since. |

Re: Steel Curtain Nation - M25
 STEELERS RIVALRIES The Pittsburgh Steelers have three primary rivals, all within their division. They also have rivalries with other teams that arose from post-season battles in the past, most notably the New England Patriots, Oakland Raiders, Tennessee Titans and Dallas Cowboys. They also have an intrastate rivalry with the Philadelphia Eagles, but under the current scheduling the teams play each other only once every four years.  DIVISION RIVALS  CINCINNATI BENGALS The Bengals–Steelers rivalry dates from the 1970 season, when the AFL-NFL merger was completed. In 1976, the Steelers kept their playoff hopes alive with a late-season 7–3 win in snowy Cincinnati. One of the most memorable games was the 2005 AFC Wildcard playoff game, in which the Steelers won a 31–17 come-from-behind victory. The Steelers and Bengals finished 2005 and 2006 with identical records (11–5 and 8–8 respectively), splitting both regular-season series, the Bengals winning the tiebreaker both years due to having a superior division record. The Steelers also are responsible for ending the Bengals' season in Cincinnati two years in a row, eliminating them from the playoffs in 2005 and taking them out of contention in 2006.  BALTIMORE RAVENS The Baltimore Ravens and the Steelers have a bitter divisional rivalry. Both teams handed the other their first losses at their current home fields. The Steelers won the inaugural game played at Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium in 1998; three years later the Ravens handed the Steelers their first-ever loss at Heinz Field. Later that season Pittsburgh won a divisional playoff game against Baltimore, who was the defending Super Bowl champion. During their NFL championship season in 2000, the Ravens defeated the Steelers in Pittsburgh season opener with the Steelers later exacting revenge in Baltimore. During the Steelers 2008 Championship run, they beat the Ravens three times, including a win in the AFC Championship game. The two teams complement each other by consistently fielding strong defenses in their division.  CLEVELAND BROWNS The Cleveland Browns and the Steelers have been divisional rivals since the two cities' teams began playing against each other in 1950. After posting a 9–31 record in first 40 games of the series between the two cities, the Steelers recently took over the all-time series lead for the first time ever (64–56); partly due to their dominance over the post-1999 Cleveland Browns franchise and won twelve straight before the Browns snapped their losing skid against them by beating them on December 10, 2009. Additionally, the Browns lost 16 straight years in Pittsburgh from 1970–1985 and posted an abysmal 5–24 record at Three Rivers Stadium overall. |

Re: Steel Curtain Nation - M25
 ROONEY'S OUT OF PITTSBURGH The Rooney family has decided to sell their historic franchise. The new head of the franchise is reported to be from outside of the family, and even outside the circle of majority stock holders. Leon McKormik, a man who is well off in his own right, has been grouping stocks for the Steelers for awhile now; when the Rooney family decided it was time to step away from football and focus on other lines of entertainment and wealth, Mr. McKormik did not hesitate to jump the stocks. Still, with deep pocket come high expectations, and despite an anging roster, McKormik will be expected to put his new franchise back in the playoffs in a hurry.  |
