REAL fans only please...?

Live near Toledo Ohio. Steelers fan. Everybody in my family is a Browns fans. Growing up I would watch them get drunk, root for the Browns, watch them p out, and then watch the Browns loose. I wasn't sure why they rooted for them. Brown and orange was an ugly combo. My grandma would often get her grand kids stuff from garage sales. One day she bought a Louis Lipps jersey (Steelers WR in the eighties). She figured one of us would wear it. She was oblivious to the Browns / Steelers rivalry. I took it for the heck of it and to spite my family. This was sometime in the late eighties when the Steelers were not doing so well. I thought the Black and Gold looked good on me and I started paying attention to the Steelers. A year later I was hooked and knew almost every aspect of the team. Twenty years later I am a diehard Steeler and give my family of Brownies crap every chance I can. Thanks grandma. It was pure chance.
