Is it Michigan? Pistons in 2004 and Red Wings in 2008. I'm too lazy to look at others and too old to remember. None of their pathetic teams will update that anytime soon. #pittsburghcityofchampions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted April 25, 2019 Share #3 Posted April 25, 2019 Had a Florida team won their championship lately? I don’t follow hockey but it’s been a while for any of their NFL, MLB & NBA teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYC yeah the Jets, wait. The Giants, respectable late history. The Rangers.... Knicks (right)...... The Nets - they left town like the Giants they just did it right.

One team, one team. I think the Yankees alone have more championships than all of Pittsburgh's pro teams. And only New York, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. have been able to get their shit together enough to win all FOUR major sports' championships.

That doesn't make them them a city of champions. It makes them great champions in a city of losers. "After winning back-to-back football and baseball championships in the late 1970s, Pittsburgh coined itself the "City of Champions," but it doesn't have the most wins." "Pittsburgh was first known as the "City of Champions" when the Pittsburgh Pirates, Pittsburgh Panthers, and Pittsburgh Steelers won multiple championships in the 1970s."

And also has a sickening underbelly of out-of-state fans due to the huge variety of people who live and work here. Add in the disgusting love affair some folks have with the foul Cowboys, and it makes it weird. On the plus side, the Nats are a "new" team so even though they aren't "my team", they are a team I can watch without too much disgust. I am SO happy that I won't be seeing all the Caps people on the Metro until next season. Total bandwagoners. But at least they stole those folks from the Skins. Young people here are Nats and Caps fans FIRST, and only sometimes Skins fans. The Wizards get little or no respect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
