McNasty Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 It could've been worse. They were kicking around this as a mascot earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemonKnight Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 From KissingSuzyKolber.com: Where You Been? Whole Steel Industry's Been Gay For Years Steelers fans, What the f*ck are you trying to do to me? Okay, it's not your fault the franchise saw fit to introduce some wholly unnecessary mascot to commemorate the team's 75th anniversary, as opposed to, say, some goddamn cheerleaders. But given the chance to submit names for the Bruce Campbell doppelganger, the best 70,000 of you as$holes could come up with was Steely McBeam. Steely McF*ckingBeam. See that "f*cking" in there, it's called a tmesis. I'm pointing that out to you because I'm going to try to impart a few facts in each post from now on because YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY SO GODDAMN STUPID. WHY AM I CONSTANTLY DEFENDING YOU FROM UFFORD?! Seriously, do we really need to name the mascot the way an 8-year-old names his hermit crab? "Look, ma! It's Pinchy McShell!" "Look, it's Hermie McCrab!" F*ck. You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monarch Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I am a Steelers fan, and I admit...it's lame. This reminds me of when my little brother (who was 5 at the time) wanted to name his Goldfish "Crappy", but my mother wouldn't let him. At least she had some common sense. What were the Rooneys thinking on this one? At this point I'd rather the mascot was named Crappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberho27 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 They really went out on a limb with that name. I hear the the jets are thinking about running with this idea and going for Flyey Mcairplane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Clearly an attempt to diversify their fan base & bolster ticket sales by reaching out to Pittsburgh's very large homesexual community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 (edited) Man, I hope the Packers don't come up with a way to coddle Green Bay's homosexual community like this.

Bronco Billy Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 (edited) Fudgey McCrack Pack? I just knew that someone couldn't resist. I should have known it would be SB. At least you didn't use Fudgey McPacker. And don't even start with what the mascot would look like...

BS Miscreant Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 The ticker on NFL network last night stated that they had come up with a name and that the mascot was intended to resemble Bill Cowher. No joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
