They had a great season and brought home the biggest prize in the NFL. They are a great team composed of great players! Pittsburgh and every Steelers fan worldwide is proud of them.

Thumbs down on owner Dan Rooney! His political pandering after the Super Bowl, when he thanked President Obama for his support of the Steelers, went beyond the pale for inappropriateness.

I am still wondering why a person who owns an NFL team franchise reported to be worth more than $1 billion needed the taxpayers to build him a stadium and give him the exclusive rights to the parking and food concessions.

With the monetary worth of the Steelers, any bank in the world would have financed a $300 million stadium for Rooney.

Come on, Dan, buy Heinz Field and help the local governments overcome their financial burden from the stadium.
