    I couldnt get past him looking like Cowher. It was the only name I had in mind, even before I read what you said.

    To add insult to injury, this walking marital aid used to be the Steelers mascot.

    That is a nice fur coat for a mascot that is supposed to represent a blue collar hard working town.

    Am I the only one that thinks the new mascot looks like a cartoonish pedophile? I could see him jumping out of a dark corner wearing nothing but that cartoon head and a trench coat...
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    They should scrap the mascot idea. They don't need cheerleaders and don't need a mascott. They play smashmouth football and don't need these novelties to draw fans.

    They might as well let that mascott wear cement boots, there will be nothing to cheer about in Steel town. Even the Brownies might
    get over on them this year!

    As most have probably heard, the verdict is in after over 70,000 entries -

    Steely McBeam

    Pittsburgh is not a happy place this week.

    Some blog comments -

    "This must be a worker from the gay steel mill in the Simpsons. Hopefully he will dance to a C&C music factory song after his civil union with Oliver Onion at halftime of the Nov 11 home game against the Browns.

    Then afterwards on the scoreboard they could have a skit where Steely McBeam walks into a kitchen and have Chris Hanson come out and say, “Hi what are you doing here?” and then “Did you tell a 13 year old that you would like to score by stuffing it in his Heinz Red Zone?”

    Chuck Noll is spinning in his grave and he isn’t even dead."

    "I used to be proud of the tradition of the Steelers.

    This… this is a mockery. This is an April Fool’s joke gone terribly, terribly wrong. Ray Lewis has a Steelers executive hostage and is holding him at gunpoint to make this stick. The guys that paid of Neil O’Donnell are at it again. The Browns are making this happen somehow to deflect all the gayness from Brady Quinn that the sportsblogs have enjoyed so much. The Bengals obviously have enough underworld connections to make such a thing see fruition. Can’t anyone see!? Please, I beg of you, find out who has done this. I am NOT buying into this whole “Diane Roles” theory. And Diane, is that IS your real name. Yours will be a name that echoes into eternity, the name that has doomed an entire nation of loving fans into the butt of millions of jokes.

    I hope you can all sleep at night. You b----rds."
