"8. Why....despite its history as a football town....even in 1920....did it take Pittsburgh 14 years to be awarded an NFL franchise?" AMSWER: It took the entire city of Pittsburgh 4 years to learn how to say football. It took 10 more years for them to learn how to spell it in order to fill out forms to request the team.

I have a case of it in the fridge...
Speaking of Western Pennsylvania trivia I had to look this up, progress!
........From 1939 until July 26, 2006,[2] Rolling Rock was brewed at the Latrobe Brewing Company in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, a small city 34 miles ESE of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As stated on the bottle, it was brewed in large glass-lined tanks, which were considered state-of-the-art at the time of its introduction (in part due to sanitation concerns).[3]
On May 19, 2006,[4] Anheuser-Busch purchased the Rolling Rock and Rolling Rock Green Light brands from InBev for $82 million[5] and began brewing Rolling Rock at its Newark facility in mid July, 2006. The final batch of Rolling Rock was shipped from Latrobe on July 31, 2006. Union leaders in Westmoreland County organized a nationwide boycott of Anheuser-Busch and InBev brands because of the move.[6] Anheuser-Busch has said that Rolling Rock's original pledge on the label will be preceded by these words: "To honor the tradition of this great brand, we quote from the original pledge of quality." In July 2008, InBev reached a deal to acquire Anheuser-Busch, thereby returning ownership of Rolling Rock to InBev, now known as Anheuser–Busch InBev and based in Belgium.[5]
In 2009, Anheuser-Busch InBev announced that it was exploring the sale of the Rolling Rock brand.[5] In 2015, Anheuser-Busch stopped brewing bottled Rolling Rock in glass-lined tanks. Only the canned beer was now being brewed using the traditional process........
Used to be a quite loyal following!

Why don't you try to answer the questions? Don't you know your own team? Or, are you too going to defer to Ghoolie?
And FYI....the true spelling of Cleveland IS Cleveland. Just because the founder of the city is named Moses Cleaveland does not mean that the city had to be spelled the same way.

Two theories on why it was changed.
It was named after General Moses Cleaveland, an investor in the company who led the survey of its land within the Western Reserve. The town was located along the eastern bank of the Cuyahoga River. Because of a spelling error on the original map, the community has always been spelled Cleveland instead of Cleaveland.
Second theory...
The Cleveland Advertiser "officially" changes the spelling of the community's name to Cleveland.
So what happened to the 'A'?
According to William Barrow, with the Cleveland Memory Project at Cleveland State University, we're not sure.
"Nobody really knows what happened to the A," Barrow said. "Best story is that a newspaper editor deliberately or accidentally dropped it, but that doesn’t seem convincing."
The first theory sounds more convincing to me, because of a mistake, on a map, near a lake.
So you are wrong, the true spelling of Cleveland is Cleaveland.

2. The Steelers have retired only two (2) numbers. For what players?
3. The Steelers drafted 4 Hall of Famers in their 1974 draft....Name all 4.

I AM well aware of all this......I am well aware of why the newspaper dropped the A......because the name with the A was too long for the papers headlines.
But...the FACT IS...the A was dropped because it was unnecessary. Ergo....the true spelling of the city is Cleveland without the A...because that is what the city has officially adopted it to be.
The difference between Cleveland and Pittsburgh is that Cleveland was smart enough to drop its superfluous, silent letter.
Just like it should be Pittsburg. The h at the end being superfluous and unneeded. Its just that yinz haven't been smart enough to do that yet.

You really don't know? Actually....it is just the place where they paid just one guy....good old Pudge Hefflefinger (by the way...I went to high school with a guy related to him: Vernon Hefflefinger). So, actually, I would say that Pittsburgh is the place where Pro Football was impregnated...but Canton was where it was birthed. (I think that is a pretty good analogy...if I do say so myself)

I would generally say pretty good to someone answering this....but not for someone that is supposed to be a diehard steeler fan who only got 4 complete answers out of 12. The two that are unforgiveable are questions 1 and 3....and probably #8...but the others were hard and you get somewhat of a pass on those.
