2020 Pittsburgh Steelers Season

Sept. 14, 2020 — For the first time since 1974, NFL opening weekend came and went and I didn't watch a single game. In fact, I didn't watch a single play. That's because I'm officially done with "current" NFL football.

I haven't read an NFL-related article in months. I punted my DirecTV/NFL Sunday Ticket subscription a couple of months ago. I'm so far gone that until a few days ago, I wasn't 100% sure the season started this weekend.

I've been a passionate Steelers fan since age 7, starting with Super Bowl X. I've attended 38 Steelers games over the last 25 years, all but one in Pittsburgh, despite living up to 5 hours away. I started this website 23 years ago as a tribute to the team of my youth. I still watch and enjoy these classic old broadcasts from the days when the NFL was still about football, and I'll continue to add missing classic games as they become available.

I have no interest in the current NFL. Ridiculous rule changes in recent years combined with over-politicization and social justice lip service (insincere pandering that ultimately helps no one) have made the current product unwatchable. Thankfully, Big Ten football is back.

Nice job, Goodell. You truly suck. That's okay... we don't need "no stinkin' NFL" this year.
