Guest AMDG Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Go Seahawks! So many of us faithful Seattle Catholics who have been Seahawk fans for 30 years, have offered the agony of so many losses up to God as Penance. Now it is time for a Super Bowl Indulgence! Go Seahawks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zwergel88 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 [quote name='Aloysius' date='Jan 22 2006, 02:55 PM']The only team in the NFL that a Catholic can rightfully cheer for is the Pittsburgh Steelers. Founded by Art Rooney, a faithful Catholic, son of coal miners and steel workers, on a win at the race tracks... still kept run by his family (though Dan ain't too great, you gotta admire family ownership!)... the Steelers are the only football team in this protestant world that a faithful Catholic should cheer for. Their summer training takes place at a Catholic college and monastery, St. Vincents. Name any other team in the NFL a faithful Catholic can support in good conscience AGAINST the steelers. okay, so you can support your hometown team with a good conscience, unless they come against the steelers. then your Catholic faith should take over and you should raise a terrible towell in one hand and an alluminum bottle of delicious Iron City and foresake your hometown team. It really is the only faithful Catholic option. [right][snapback]863428[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Your abolutely right. Art Rooney was awesome. He walked every day from the North side to daily Mass and then to three rivers stadium. They have a rosary of his on display at the museum. Anyway, everyone should support the steelers, becaseu they are totally awesome and they're totally going to win the super bowl. GO STEELERS!!!!!

cmotherofpirl Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 We had a little pep rally scheduled here last night to send the Steelers off to Motown. About 35,000 people showed up : Happy Birthday Art Rooney Sr. [url="http://www.steelersinhoboken.com/Fight_Songs.htm"]http://www.steelersinhoboken.com/Fight_Songs.htm[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azriel Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I just want to say that I'm glad that there shall be football played right here in good ol' Detroit. Because I'm not sure that is what the Lions play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeTeamFamily Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 agree with all the packers support also, one of the retired priests at the church i go to in charlotte says mass for the carolina panthers, whose head athletic trainer is a catholic, and that connection got me able to do a mini-camp internship with them last summer [/thread] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
