How serendipitous that the same day I discover that Ben Roethlisberger (hi, Ben) has a blog, I receive a magical, marvelous gift from the Steeler's Fan Club. It is brilliant; full of budget-grade pins and pens, pads of paper, cups, and stickers. Honestly, who doesn't love stickers?!?! It even includes a fabulous, handwritten membership card (un-laminated, which conveniently gives me an excuse to fire up the laminating machine).
That the blue-collar roots of this team extend to their fan club just makes them all the more endearing.
I love the Steelers.
Only 13 days until regular season football begins.
