Just outta curiousity... Does anyone know of celebrities who happen
to be Steeler fans? Off-hand I know of Dan Cortese (of MTV Sports and
various minor roles in sitcoms); Rush Limbaugh *used* to be a fan; and
whoever it was that hosted _Saturday Night Live_ just before the AFC
Championship Game last year (he said something like "The Steelers in
the Super Bowl - you can bet on it!") - was it Jeff Daniels?

Anyway, I'd be curious as to who else in The Glitzy World of
Celebrities is a Steeler fan. (Possibly other people from the Pgh
area, e.g. Michael Keaton? Dennis Miller? George Benson?)

"You just go and lay your hand
On a Pittsburgh Steeler fan
And I think you're going to find he understands..."

- Charlie Daniels, "In America"

(Didn't particularly like the song, but thought this line was
understandably cool! 8-)

I'm pretty sure Burt Reynolds is one, he's been a long-time friend of
Terry Bradshaw and he wore a Steeler jacket on his TV series (I think
his character was supposed to be a ex-Steeler.)

My mama always told me - internet newsgroups are like a box of choc'lits
- you just never know which ones got the nuts in it.

I remember seeing a David Letterman that had Ed O'Niel (Al Bundy) on it,
and he was saying that he tried out for the team once. He grew up in the
area (I think), and I seem to remember that he said he was even on the
practice team for a while.
