Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for sixdays.On the seventh day, Michael the archangel found him, resting.He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwardsthrough the clouds, "Look Michael, see what I've made..."Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?""It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put LIFE on it. I'm going tocall it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance.""Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused. God explained, pointingto different parts of Earth, "For example, Northern Europe will be aplace of great opportunity and wealth while Southern Europe is going to be poor.God continued, pointing to different countries. "This one will beextremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold and coveredin ice."The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a place."What's that?""Ah," said God. "That's Pittsburgh, the most glorious place on Earth.There are beautiful lakes, rivers, streams and an exquisite GoldenTriangle where three great rivers meet. The people of Pittsburghare intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found travelingthe world. They'll be extremely sociable, hard-working and high-achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace. I'm also going to give them an undefeatable football team who will be admired and feared by all who come across them."Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "Whatabout balance, God? You said there would be BALANCE!"God replied, "Wait until you see the loud-mouth jagoffs I'm puttingnext to them and I'm calling it Cleveland."
lol, you can tell he made Pittsburgh on his day off though. Because he really went half-ass on that cruddy town
A cruddy town with 5 Super Bowl Wins, 5 World Series Wins, and 2 Stanley Cup Wins. They deserve an NBA team...

(Albeit we have twice as many teams)Oh, and 2 NBA titles.
I didn't say they were better than New York and yall 2 teams per sport... I was just saying they definetely weren't cruddy

I was just saying we definetely weren't cruddy </div>I know, im just screwing with ya. Pittsburgh sports have held their own....well, unless your talking about the Pirates or Penguins as of late.But I must ask something, is there any reason why all 3 Pittsburgh teams are black and gold? Or just coincidence?
Their city flag is black and gold, city crest/seal is mostly black and gold, fire trucks are black and gold, fire hydrants are black and gold.I'm not sure why the city uses black and gold though(even before sports), but I think it has to do with how industrial the city is... coal is sometimes called "black gold"
