And he only decides to do this when his team gets this far in the playoffs?

Whatever.

[Ravnet]

It's temporary, but yeah, lame.

[robermar]

That's a bit much.

[codizzle]

yea very lame

[catty112]

Wow his credibuility just skyrocketed....


not!

[Tighthead420]

What credibility...he is mayor of Pittsburgh.

Whatever works to get him re-elected I suppose. Now no matter whazt he does in office he will be voted in year after year!

[Shawn`]

Temporary?

That just means deep down he likes being born a Raven (no pun intended)

[theFRANCHISE]

This reminds me of some sort of stunt that Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell tried to pull when the Eagles made the Super Bowl. I think he made a bet with Massachusetts' governor when Philly faced the Patriots in 2004, and he ended up having to wear a Patriots jersey at a Sixers/Celtics b-ball game because he (and the Eagles) lost the bet.

Politicians trying to make their constituents happy through sports. [i]*tisk tisk*[/i]

How clever ! That's right the steelers stall

[H8R]

Maybe, deep down he is a Ravens fan but most of Pittsburgh isn't bright enough to pick up what he's doing with his name and they think it's a tribute...

[itscbm5042]

Somebody come up with a poster making fun of the mayor for not only changing his name but effectively saying Steelers Stall.

[SteelersProphet]

Stahl means steel in german

so his name is steeler steel in a sense

i read that in an article

Sounds about right.

[Sharkey]

[PIG 20]

<[i]no smack, no politics[/i]>

[smokin3000gt]

I think it's pretty cheesy too, but I guess if it gets him re-elected it was a pretty smart move.

[H8R]

So then HIS REAL NAME IS RAVEN STEEL? HMMM..... He has a man crush on the PURPLE AND BLACK!

yeah but this is America, we speak and read the English language 1st and the Spanish 2nd. so if it isn't English or Spanish then its simply just Steelerstahl

Well then what is the definition of the word Stahl in English. Hmmm, I haven't read my English Websters in a couple years but I don't think it has one.

In the sense you guys are using it, shouldn't it be Steelerstall to adhere to what you're saying about it needing to be English and not German.

If not, then it has no meaning whatsoever and can't be made fun of. lol, I think I just confused myself

[Moderator 2]

I was thinking chainsaw but thats stihl!

[Purple Punishment]

what a loser to change hs name. Pittsburgh is in for it. Ravens Steel the ball from Big Jen!

[Samari]

hey, I'm not gonna lie. if the word 'Steeler' was somewhere in my name, I would change it ASAP

HOWEVA, if I had 'Raven' somewhere, I demand that be my full name

[Mahatma_Sloth]

I wonder what his ancestors (and odin for that matter) would think about this. Hope this buys him a re-election or two, but knowing the capacity to make an educated decision that the populous of pittsburgh has hes probably set for life

LMAO, didn't think about this one but your dead-on steelers-stahl, I love it

[JFRY]

[Jesse Conroy]

Thats ridiculous.
