just a game to me. Some people fish or do crosswords. What I do to relax and have fun in my spare time is watch or read about football. While engaged in watching or reading about this particular sport, I escape from the everyday grind of life.

Going to a sporting event like a football game is outrageous. The building anxiety weeks before I attend a Steeler game can drive any normal fan to insanity.

It's 6:00 AM Sunday morning. There was no need for an alarm to wake me up on this fine morning. I am about to pack my portable grill and a few cases of beer into my car to go on a two-hour road trip to Three Rivers Stadium. I am going to attend a Steeler game.

On the road it's WDVE on the radio all the way to Pittsburgh. Myron Cope, WDVE's celebrated play by play analyst, sounds off. As usual he is as exited about toady as I am. Myron Cope is talking about players, injuries and coaches. There are a lot of things he'll talk about with Tunch Ilkin, his sidekick and former Steeler player. As they make their predictions, as to how the day will go for the Steelers, and other teams in the Steelers divi

Well its time to get inside the stadium to watch the game. I'll pass many scalpers in the parking lot on my way to the stadium. At this time I'd like to address the visitors from other planets again. Scalpers are not Indians trying to cut your forehead off. No sir, they are humans selling tickets to the game for three times their original value. I then get my game day program. I always buy this program. It makes a great souvenir.

Everyone has their own favorite pastime, you might like soccer, fishing, or reading. When you think of your fondest memories. It should come as no surprise to you that most of them are at times in your life when your engaged in your favorite pastime.

Its getting dark, its time to pack up my things and go home. but first I'll stare at the city before I leave. I would never want to live in a city the size of Pittsburgh. But it sure is beautiful to look at, when it's all lit up at night.
