That's right, Joe Biden and Sarah Palin both share a rooting interest in the mighty Pittsburgh Steelers.
Palin ...
She relishes moose burgers because "they taste better than beef with no chemicals, steroids or hormones." She adopted the Pittsburgh Steelers because of the team's success in the 1970s and because there are no major professional teams in her state.

Biden ...
On Friday night, when Obama and Biden met Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh, Biden recounted how "Old Mr. Rooney" -- Steelers owner Dan Rooney -- dispatched some players from his championship team to the hospital room in Wilmington where Biden's two toddler sons, Beau and Hunter, were recovering from the accident. They brought the boys an autographed football as a Christmas present.
"And I have been a Steelers fan since that day," Biden told Tomlin.
"Not much has changed," Tomlin responded.

Who says there isn't common ground between the two parties!?!

That's pretty funny.
I am surprised, though, that you have a post about the Steelers the day after their opening-day victory but didn't even mention said victory! ;)
