However! I have and always will despise Pittsburgh more than any other team. ESPECIALLY the current version of the team. They are arrogant over achievers who have never, ever, given the other team credit after a win or loss. They are just completely self-absorbed. Not to mention they have a tendency to bump genitals a bit too much on the sideline. Hines and Ben have been gay for eachother far too long for me.

And I am starting to believe Ben's serial raping of young women comes from a deep seeded envy of their gender and the fact that they can sleep with men at their discretion. I'm sure growing up in a small town and being a big guy his entire life, a certain image was expected from him. The manly-man. And now, that he has the world at his finger tips and is still unable to come out of the closet out of shame, he takes his frustrations out on attractive young women because they are exactly what he wishes he could be. So my answer is, the Steelers, yup, the Steelers. I hate them.

wow.

That's simple, he's from Ohio so which ever team wins in Ohio he sports that jersey, but if Pittsburgh wins he leaves the other jerseys in the closet. People who feel insecure do stuff like this all the time for reassurance. You know when the Browns plays Pittsburgh it's always a win win situtation for him which means he will never get depressed cause he can claim he's been dedicated since day one.

Counting Crows - Raining in Baltimore

Mother's Last Tooth - In Pittsburgh, Circle Jerks Aren't Just for Church Anymore.

Okay, I made up that last one.

OK, I had not heard of the ones you mention. I gave a listen to both the Counting Crows and Scott Walker songs.

Both, in my view, were extremely depressing songs. Not bad, just depressing.

I should have guessed that a band named Counting Crows would do a song about Baltimore. Plus I have always like the Walker Brothers. (you sure this guy wasn't Rick Astley's dad?)

I put a few of these types of songs on my compilation, notably Springsteen's Youngstown, Nebraska, and Streets of Philadelphia. But I think I am OK leaving these songs out.

Put the flying rats in the East or somewhere.

FYI, travelling is a hobby of mine. I have been to every state, every Canadian province, every city in the US with a population over 200,000 including every city that has a team in one of the 4 major sports, plus I have been to 51 of the 58 National Parks (most of the ones I have not been to are in Alaska where it takes a float plane to get to them).

Recently, I have been putting together a "travel" music compilation and burning songs onto sets of CDs to give away as gifts to my friends. In that process I set about trying to find songs to put on the compilation that were fairly welll known tunes that had something to do with many of the major cities in the country. Some examples of what I put on there were Sinatra's New York New York, Springsteen's Street's of Philadelphia, Bob Seger's Get Out of Denver, Houston by Dean Martin, Cleveland Rocks Ian Hunter, Detroit Rock City by KISS, etc. etc. etc. I could give you the whole list if you want (mostly "Baby Boomer Generation stuff", not much that recent)

Well, what I found when I went to looking for this music is that I could not find ANY reasonably well known songs about either Pittsburgh, Baltimore, or Cincinnati. I may have come across some very obscure songs by a local group that nobody ever heard of outside those towns, but nothing beyond that.

Here is my question: Did I miss something? Can you name any songs about Pittsburgh, Baltimore, or Cincinnati?

(the only thing even reasonably close was the theme song to WKRP in Cincinnati, but that was too banal in my opinion.)

Let me know.

Scott Walker - Lights of Cincinnati

Counting Crows - Raining in Baltimore

Mother's Last Tooth - In Pittsburgh, Circle Jerks Aren't Just for Church Anymore.

Okay, I made up that last one.

As for the Ravens....GGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAA! I just can't stand them! Despise them! When they won the SuperBowl my "friends" called saying, "Hey the Browns finally won the Superbowl...Oh wait it's the RAVENS!" Great friends huh?

Man...I really hate em.

The Denver Broncos are 3rd in my hate-rankings. Queer owner, queer uniforms, but they had that damn Elway guy who helped me go bald, lol.

The Ravens are a different story altogether. I still am pissed off that the powers-that-be in the NFL put them in our division when they realigned. They belong in the AFC East, not with the Browns, Pittsburgh, & Cincy. The NFL basically tried to force-feed a rivalry on us and Baltimore. I hate Art & Ray Lewis, not the fans of Baltimore (Billick too, although he's gone).

I can't even go down to our stadium to watch the Browns & Ravens play. It's a self-protest against the NFL for allowing them to exist in the AFC North.

Now that I live near Pittsburgh I have really learned a lot about their fanbase. They are Steeler fans, not football fans. I have no respect for them as football fans, they are served a platter of Steelers and believe that is the NFL.

Ravens fans act as though they did Cleveland a favor by stealing the team. They think thats the reason we got a new stadium and we shouldn't hold any bad feelings, maybe even owe a debt of gratitude.

Steelers fans are ignorant self righteous jerks.

Ravens fans are disillusioned dumbasses.

But the tiebreaker is that the Steeler organization voted against the Browns moving and as a fan of the Browns thats the only good thing I can think of either franchise and fanbase so they win on that account.

I hope both franchises have a 40 year string of losing seasons, and then it gets worse.
