New Pittsburgh Mascot Named (1 Viewer)

Well I guess Steely is a little better than the Terrible Fan. But the Terrible Fan was never officially endorsed as the Steelers mascot.

yeah, nothing like an over-sized phallic symbol - wearing a fur coat, no less - interacting with small children to make the front office consider going in a different direction...
 
First I hoped I was having a nightmare. Then I thought maybe I had time-traveled back to April 1. But no.

Perhaps the only worse day in Steeler history was O'Donnell's gift-wrapped INTs to Larry Brown. And I think I'd rather see Neil parading around Heinz Field than this embarrassment.

First of all, let me put the :goodposting: over my head. But let me ask the Steeler faithful. Is it the mascot himself or the name that bothers everyone? Personally, I think he looks badass. But the name does bother me a bit and it does sound kind of pornish. Might as well of called him Steely Holmes.

For me, it's all of the above. Like Kornheiser and Wilbon said, certain teams just shouldn't have a mascot. It's a disgrace. It's a huge splatter of excrement on one of the best run and most successful franchises in professional sports over the past 3+ decades. Since 1975, the only teams with more championships in major sports are the Lakers (8), Yankees (6) and Canadiens (6). To the best of my knowledge, none of these teams have a mascot, nor do they need one.Local Pittsburgh sports personality John Steigerwald just put it this way on the Nightly Sports Call "It's not the end of the world. It's not a big deal. But it still makes me want to throw up." I think that sums it up for most of us.
 
:thumbup: at Rich Eisen calling it a porn star name. Knew there was a reason ESPN let him go...he's too funny for their cookie cutter "news anchors"
 
Normally I'd be opposed to such a Honda (post in the FFA) but personally I think there's no such thing as too many threads on this topic :fishing:

Eventually, professional football organizations will learn not to turn to their fans for help naming things. When you do, you only wind up with names like "The Texans" or "Steely McBeam".

 
Yet to see a Steeler fan say that they like the mascot. Makes me wonder why they did it in the first place. It's not like they need to draw people to games.

:thumbup:

Agreed. I just don't see the need either unless they are catering to little kids. The problem is there really aren't that many kids at a typical Steelers game.
 
I woke up today happy to be on vacation for a day, thankful to have survived the savage storms in Pittsburgh yesterday, feeling good about life.

Then I remembered with horror: Steely McBeam

The Dalai Lama???

Chin sticks out, prominent cheekbones, flared nostrils, bushy eyebrows. Put the dalai lama in a skullcap, some coveralls, and a brokeback mountain shirt, and he's a ringer for steely. :wall:ETA: The one I can't at all figure out what they were thinking is Tori Amos.

I'm all for bashing this mascot as much as possible. But aside from that, the facial recognition application on that site is a complete useless turd.

I actually thought that face (if you can call it that) reminded me of some celebrity in an abstract sort of way but I couldn't figure out who. Since I knew of no other readily available free facial recognition software, I used that site, despite its questionable results. When I saw the results it came up for your new pal Biff McStiff I just had to post it. Eventually I figured out who it reminded me of. You guys should have just hired this guy...he would probably scare fewer kids. :scared:
