1. Same here - Go Steelers!!!!!!!!

But then you can see from my avatar who I root for. I live in Pittsburgh! While I'm sure officially he will be neutral I wonder if Obama will be rooting for the Steelers.



On the night of Jan. 3, 2008, little more than two weeks after the Steelers were beaten up at home by Jacksonville and little less than two days before they were to confront the Jaguars again in the first round of the National Football League playoffs, the club's normally unruffled chairman found himself unable to sleep.

Around midnight, Daniel M. Rooney picked up the phone and rang his son Jim.

"This is the greatest speech I've seen since John Kennedy," Dan said into the phone. "This guy connects with people like no one I've seen since John Kennedy. He convinced me that this is more than just a good politician. I want to stand up and say something for this guy. I want to be involved in this."

Mr. Rooney, a lifelong Republican, had just finished watching long-shot Democratic candidate Barack Obama thank voters in Iowa, where the Illinois senator returned the opening kickoff of America's overlong, convoluted presidential campaign for a touchdown against political stalwarts Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards, in a state that's more than 92 percent white.

That his father would be eager to talk politics at odd hours or that he would be moved by the triumph of an African American against systemic or raw political obstacles did not surprise Jim Rooney -- the NFL doesn't call the requirement that NFL teams with head coaching vacancies interview a minority candidate the Rooney Rule for nothing -- but Jim knew almost instantly that what he was hearing on the phone from the family's North Side home that night was more than his father's basic chord structure.

And coach Mike Tomlin after a Monday night game got back to town at 3am and was in line at his polling place at 7am to vote for Obama.
