a team in the National Football League (NFL) that is the measuring stick for which all other teams considered "great" can be measured against.

6 Lombardi Trophy's, slew of Hall of Famers, unrelenting, suffocating defense, the best traveled fans of any team.

Also as a side note, one can use the term "Pittsburgh Steeler" as an adjective to describe something as being great.
And the Pittsburgh Steelers have done it, surpassing both the 49ers and the Cowboys as the only team to win 6 Super Bowls. Looks like just 3 yrs after winning one for the thumb they now have one for the other thumb.

2 guys discussing the night before
Dude 1: Saw you leave with that hottie last night, way to go man.
Dude 2: Thanks man, been on a little drought lately.
Dude 1: So how it go?
Dude 2: Had a couple drinks, talked some, and then it was onto the bedroom. It was Pittsburgh Steelers all the way. (meaning the sex was great)
Dude 1: Nice, (high fives Dude 2) she have any friends?
Dude 2: Well yeh, but they dont like guys with small dicks.
Dude 1: That sucks, well at least I am lucky your ex-wife is still around, she never complains
Dude 2: Asshole (kicks Dude 1 in the balls)

Get the The Pittsburgh Steelers mug.
Steelers fans do not bandwagon. They have loyalty to their favorite franchise. We went 15-1 this year and I will be a fan if they go 1-15 next year. Steelers fans go to work from their factories or wherever they work in Western PA and like to come home, drink a beer and watch the Stillers. The only real haters should be the Cowboys fans, who are just sour over the 70's dominance. Everybody else has no good reason and have no knowledge of the legendary franchise.
The Steelers are 4/5 in their SuperBowl appearances and are the greatest NFL dynasty ever.

The team that never has any whiners or prettyboys. They always give 100%, and that is thanks to their coaches and owners. Dominating the 1970's and staying strong until today and forevermore, the fans will never lose faith in this team.

Also the team that the Terrible Towel was made for.

n. A football team that was formed in Pittsburgh a long time ago. They sucked until the seventies, but then they started using large amounts of steriods. These steroids gave them the ability to win 4 Super Bowls by cheating. Ever since the seventies started, they have been the luckiest team in the NFL for several reasons:
1. The most memorable play in their history was illegal and incredibly lucky.
2. They were barely noticed for their extreme usage of steroids which gave them 4 Super Bowls.
3. They have not won ONE of their 6 Super Bowls fairly, there is some kind of controversy surrounding every one:
'70's: Steroids
'05: Injured Carson Palmer, won because most teams suck without their best player. Manning and Plummer can't play in the playoffs. Refs handed them Super Bowl (The Refs are a common Steelers helper; whenever your favorite team plays the Steelers, it is playing both the Steelers and the Refs).
'08:Would not have won division had it not been for terrible call in game against Ravens, which would have resulted in the Steelers having to play on the road in the playoffs which equals a loss. Also, every team they had to play in the playoffs beat a team that beat the Steelers in the regular season in the previous round.
I'm sure we haven't seen the end of the luckiness in Pittsburgh
Bill: Wow the Patriots are much better than the Steelers, Tom. I am pretty sure they will win today

Tom: I don't know, Bill, you have to remember: the Pittsburgh Steelers always have the refs on their side.



Larry: Wow I can't believe that play John. I mean, the Steelers won the game because Roethlisberger threw the ball forward and it bounced off of Hines Ward into the hands of Santonio Holmes, who fumbled into the arms of Roethlisberger, who illegally threw it forward again, only to be intercepted, but then the defender fumbled it and then Mike Tomlin stepped on the field and picked it up, and then he threw it to a cunt named Richard Simmons, who happened to be wearing a Steelers jersey.

John: Yeah, Larry, the Steelers are so good. Only they would be able to do that.

Pissed off football fan: OF COURSE, FUCKING JOHN, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE THE FUCKING STEELERS. THEY ARE ALLOWED TO WIN FOOTBALL GAMES BY CONSTANTLY FUCKING CHEATING.

A NFL franchise that has a roster loaded with and fans that are unemployed losers, faggots, lesbians, convicts, scumbags, stupid cocksuckers, dumbass bitches, motherless whores, ass pirates, child molesters, toothless square headed hillbillies, and any number of unmentioned retrobates. They like to brag about the last 35 years of their franchise history (except the 80's)but don't mention the first 40 sorry ass years of their existence when they sucked cock and balls like somebody in a hot dog eating contest. They wave a "terrible towel" at games like a bunch of pussy school girls at a pom-pom competition and think it's cool, while the rest of the NFL watches and thinks, "What a bunch of bitch fairies." The only thing they like better than Jack Lambert is jacking off in their mother's face. They only thing they love more than Hines Ward is taking cock in their mouth and ass, balls deep simultaneously (that means at the same time for you dumb fuck Steelers fans). If they didn't have Steelers games to watch their fans would resort back to watching dog fights, cock fights, and watching their father screw their sisters and brothers.
"Hey, yous guys want to go to a Pittsburgh Steelers game?"

"Nah, I'd rather lick the sweat off a faggot's cum encrusted ball sack."

"Yeah, that's what we do after we wave those terrible towels like a bunch of dingleberry munching fairies."

"OK let's go! Sounds better than watching Dad make the two-backed beast with my little brother and sister again."
