Regulation-sized beard. Pee-wee-sized ball. Here’s to an awkward Superbowl Sunday.

Spreading the Awkwardness
This isnt awkward…Pittsburgh fans are always standing by their team, that’s how Hines won Dancing With The Stars! I love crazy fans, they rock! Go Steelers!
P.s. The Terrible Towel was our idea, well Wonderful Myron Cope’s idea
Steeler nation! Family photos like this are not at all uncommon in western pennsylvania
I can only wish that my parents were this cool.
I hope they got the memo that the Steelers LOST! So the caption should read: We are the losers!
You do realize the Steelers had a better year than the 30 other teams that didn’t make the Super Bowl, right? That, combined with the fact that Pittsburgh has the most division championships in the AFC (20), the most AFC Championships (8) and the most Super Bowl wins in the NFL (6), pretty much makes them winners.
Thats right Chad!!! So MiLo206 get our stuff straight before you run your mouth!!!
Bless their hearts
Somebody missed Marnie’s super bowl party instruction letter, she CLEARLY stated it was regulation sized footballs only!
Oooooh the dirty look they must have gotten!
This is Earl’s “earnest face”.
And yes, I’m sure his name must be Earl….my brain won’t have it any other way. No offense all you real Earls.
I’m sorry…..so sorry….Please accept my apology.
ARRRRRGH! “What’s in your wallet?!”
Hah! Love it!
Ya gotta give em credit for being good sports and sending it in here for all our entertainment!
How do you know THEY sent it in?
I LOVE CRAZY STEELERS FANS!!!! THEY HAVE PASSION!!!!! I THINK THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!
“It’s okay, Dear… it’s not the size of the football that counts…”
teehee
That is a normal size football. Those dudes are about 9 foot tall and that is a beard you could hide a baby ostrich in.
How do we know that is a pee-wee sized ball. Maybe they are just both 9 foot tall.
The compromise… Linen curtians, Steel G-Strings. Love knows no bounds.
GO PACKERS!!!!!!!!
Who says it’s a pee-wee sized ball, maybe they are just huge?
hahaha! make that *Foul* sorry guys.
I’m throwing a flag on this one. Personal fowl #39 and #51 of the black team. 15 yard penalty. Automatic 1st down.
No one on the current Steeler roster wears either #39 or #57. I guess these folks got cut.
#39 is Willie Parker got cut in 2009 and #51 is James Farrior.
They are cuddling that ball like a newborn baby.
“You always blink! Whatever you do, Darryl, don’t blink!”
If they are from Pittsburgh, it’s BOTH
This isn’t awkward!? It’s awesome! Go Steelers!
At least they are rooting for the right team….
hahahaha god thats a great beard!!!!!
I love how they’re cradling the ball like it’s their love-child.
I’m a cop In Dallas and I’ve been dealing with people like this for days. HELP ME!
I feel your pain. I work in GP. Worked a concert at Verizon tonight. Guy wearing a Steeler jersey walks up and tells me ” This weather is nothing. This is balmy to us back home.” He then proceeds to walk by me and slips on a patch of ice in the parking lot. I help him up, smile, and tell him “we usually walk around the ice patches around here.”
Wow. Just wow.
That is so funny! I’m going to copy your story to show my friends!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!
Bless your heart! LOL
I guess that’s why Dallas can’t handle the Super Bowl. You guys should have been focusing on Texans who can’t drive on ice.
Thanks Troll. I hope you live in Detroit. Hahahahaha.
Hey, I live in Detroit, and we all aren’t trolls! My brother, who lives in Forth Worth, says it does snow down there sometimes, but just sometimes, and of course southerners aren’t used to driving on ice, just like you won’t find palm trees in Michigan except in some of our shopping malls.
And, it will be a snowy and icy day in Hades before the Lions ever get to the Super Bowl, unfortunately.
That’s the truth. Trust me “irony” we try every time the snow and ice comes through. Though today we saw something we’ve never seen, Sunny skies and the streets are still wet. We finally figured out it was all the tears from the Steeler fans as they drove back home. Go figure.
HA! Did it take you all day to think of that little gem? Pretty sure you read it on a bathroom wall. It was tears of happiness to be away from jerks that feel the need to kick people after a loss. Yeah, we cried all the way back home to our 6 trophies. We get it. We lost. It was a good game. There is always next year. Steelers fans don’t cry; we know it is only a matter of time for that #7 trophy!
I’ll bet their trailer is all black n yellow and next to their confederate flag is a Steelers flag. GO BEARS!!!
I bet their home is beautiful and an American flag proudly waves in their front yard. Go Bears? They didn’t make it this year. Maybe your former community organizer jinxed them. We’ll that and a soft QB.
Pittsburgh is a northern city, so you are showing ignorance by playing the old “southern people are slovenly and racist” card. These Steelers fans look like friendly and generous people and darn it, they love that ball!
Go 49ers!!! (Some day, eventually.)
Ignorant comment. Pennsylvania was a union state, fool.
I wonder why they aren’t looking at the same camera…
She’s distracted by the photographer who’s wearing a Green Bay jersey.
LOL!!!!!!!!
OMG – you just can’t make up this stuff?????????? They say that the truth is stranger than fiction.
I wonder if this is their engagement or wedding photo?
1st date, and you know what they say about little footballs
wedding pic.. note they have their “formal jerseys” on…
What does that Honeymoon look like?
Just home from the maternity ward….congratulations,it’s a healthy bouncing baby ball.
Ha, Epideral or Epesiotomy for that one?
