I spotted something in D.J. Gallo’s recent effort worthy of repetition:
As the Patriots pulled away from the Steelers in the second half, the cries of pass interference died down (mostly because Anthony Smith was so far away from Randy Moss as he streaked through the secondary that even the most biased fans couldn’t complain). It was then that a group of Patriots fans in my section took up a chant of: “Pitts-burgh Pi-rates!” Clap-clap-clap-clap-clap. “Pitts-burgh Pi-rates!” What was a cruel attempt to further humiliate Pittsburgh fans backfired, however. Many in Steelers garb appeared flattered that New Englanders even knew Pittsburgh had a baseball team.
Vilification always brings out the best in sports fans.
