Ladies and Gentleman, Steely McBeam

Still, it's not as ridiculous as the Syracuse Orange.

 

this is from the story:
Mr. McBeam's jutting jaw conjures up memories of former coach Bill Cowher, he of the steely glare. But any resemblance is purely coincidental.

"It's been mentioned a couple of times that there's somewhat of a resemblance," laughed Mr. Rooney. "There was no effort to replicate Bill."

Debbie Townsend of Avonmore mentioned the resemblance, saying that the "highlight of my life" was getting an autograph from the former coach. She was at training camp yesterday with her husband and two children trying to get the autograph of new coach Mike Tomlin. And it's the new chapter in team history that makes the mascot appealing to her.
...

Debbie Townsend of Avonmore says an autograph from Cowher is the highlight of her life. That basically sums up Pittsburgh in one half-quote.

What they really need are cheerleaders. They would be sick hot.

 

It's nice to see Steely finally able to find some work after the gay steel mill closed down in Springfield.

 

So they'd be bringing them in from out of town then?

 

Nice to see him earning a paycheck. Hope he's got healthcare again for the little McBeams. Steely's been out of work since the mill closed in 2001. Steely McExecutive and Steely McTradeLobbyist are no friends of Mr. McBeam.

Proving there is a yin-yang, the Rooneys make a good decision with Tomlin and a poor one with this mascot.

 

Hey, no dissing the Syracuse Orange. I actually like him.

 

Nothing sucks like a big orange.

 

I can't wait to see Steely McBeam blow-up yard ornaments this winter.

 

well played.

 

Guess Steeler fans already miss Cowher so much they made him their mascot.
