If someone were to tell me they they were visiting any other NFL city I could off the top of my head come up with something or somewhere that place is super proud of even if I think it sucks to feign interest. Pittsburgh just draws a complete blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittsburgh just draws a complete blank. This makes me recall when a young man delighted a mixed group of us at a Beni Hana style restaurant with his chopping, cutting, flipping culinary showmanship. The kid was good. Enough so that one enthusiast matron at our table wanted to know where he had learned his craft. His English was poor. She had to ask several times until it dawned on him what she was asking. “Pittsburgh!” he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ= really NYC and every single food/nightlife option imaginable, everything is famous Baltimore= crab/old bay and fells point LA = weather/beaches and every single food/nightlife option plus everything is famous Detroit= home of ICP "whoot whoot(maybe whoop whoop?)"/the point of my joke Philly= cheese steaks/South St/history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I'm pretty sure the preference for "where to put the draft" is to give priority to cities that aren't going to be hosting superbowls. So you'll see them in Detroit, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Chicago, etc. because they're not putting Superbowls there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
