I have a Steelers fan story.
I was at a Steelers-Skins game maybe 20 plus years ago in Pittsburgh. Pretty tough tailgate crowd for away fans.
So its halftime and Im smoking a cigarette on the top level concourse. So im leaning against a wall and this really really old guy comes walking by. He must have been close to 90 with a cracked leather face you only get by being a lifetime cigarette smoker. He has to like shuffle his feet to even walk. Moving less 1 mph. He walks by me. Stops. Turns around and shuffles back so hes standing in front of me. He looks me up and down, spits at my feet then just continues shuffling on down the concourse.
I couldnt help but laugh and respect the old man.
