I’m not a guy who has a “second team,” but if I did, it would be Pittsburgh. Love the tradition, the blue collar vibes.
The 2010 NFC championship will always be one my biggest sports memories, and not just for all the usual reasons—beating the Bears, punching a Super Bowl ticket. But the relief of it was so huge for me: I wouldn’t have to take crap from Bear fan friends forever, and if we didn’t win the Super Bowl, the absolute best possible alternative to me would be losing to Pittsburgh, who I respect.
