However, this may be a more distant 'tragedy' than some may think. I, for one, am pleased with outcome. It's one of the bragging points for Steeler fans. It may seem unprofessional or unwise from a business standpoint ( perhaps feminesque) but, it tugs at the heart strings remembering Art Rooney's contribution. When it comes I will mourn quietly and probably get back on board. Till then I will concern myself with more pressing issues facing my team. The fact that the Steelers will change hands is a given.
