If your nickname is "Matty Ice"....well then....maybe.
Since 1960, besides Pittsburgh, only New York City and Boston have 3 pro sports teams that have won at least 3 pro championships each.
And today the NFL denied Josh Gordon's reinstatement request. Browns be Browns....
What do you think of Terrelle Pryor leaving the Browns for the Redskins?
If I was a WR, I would not want to play for Cleveland.
He only signed a one year deal, and took less money. He has Kirk Cousins to make him look better. I don't think he stays long, assuming he has a big year. He might be hedging to that outcome. He does not have Randy Moss's natural ability, but has every bit the athleticism. You have seen his run in Oakland.
Yep. I watched it live, he broke Kordell's record (at the time). I also remember watching Kordell's live.
Longest runs from scrimmage by a QB:
1) 93 yards - Terrelle Pryor (2013)
2) 90 yards - Colin Kaepernick (2014)
3) 87 yards - Marcus Mariota (2015)
4) 80 yards - Kordell Stewart (1996)
Kordell's record stood for 18 years until Pryor broke it, then Kaepernick and Mariota topped it also.
**** Pryor's 93 yard run also broke Bo Jackson's 92 yard run for longest run in Raider's history.
Speaking of the Browns, the coach let it slip that he wanted the Ohio State safety that had all those pic sixes in his one year. And the team traded down to to take the tweener Jabril Peppers from Michigan. I went to the Ohio State board, and it was a melt down.
Tony Dorsett has the longest run in NFL history with 99 yards. A record that can be tied, but never broken.
So.....Dorsett has the longest run in NFL history, and Pryor has the longest run by a QB in NFL history.
The connection between the two?..... Both were born and raised in Pittsburgh.

As usual you are delusional as Dorsett was born in Rochester and raised in Aliquippa-- not Pittsburgh.
Next you will be claiming that Tony played for the Steelers and not the Cowboys.
You still think that the Steelers are America's team!
Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.......Aliquippa and Rochester (not Rochester, NY) are about 10 miles down the river from Heinz Field.
And, if Dorsett was raised in Aliquippa like you claim, why didn't he go to Aliquippa High School? Dorsett went to Hopewell High School. Hopewell is where Pittsburgh International Airport is. Notice it's not called "Hopewell" International Airport, it's called "Pittsburgh" International Airport.
Nope, the Steelers are Pittsburgh's team. The Steelers turned down being called "America's Team" after they beat the Cowboy's in Super Bowl X.
When everyone knows Atlanta is America's team.
First it goes about its business picking up steam while no one really notices.
Then as the wins mount the talking heads in the sports community laugh and remind us "it's Atlanta" refusing to take its chances seriously.
Eventually they sit slack jawed while the Falcons beat everyone to advance to the largest sports stage.
And, of course, when it finally gets that opportunity to show everyone what its made of it comes apart like a train held together by gum.
Atlanta, making the underdog narrative "grate" again.
I really, really enjoyed watching the Steelers beat Dorsett and the Cowboys in Super Bowl XIII

Yea, in Art Rooney's dreams!
You also failed to note that the best player in the history of the Steelers, Mean Joe Green, was born and raised in Texas!
I even enjoyed it more watching the Boys beat the Steelers the last time the two met in the Super Bowl.
Pretty good in the 2000s too.
Just for fun...
The Steelers owned the 70s with a 3 to 2 SB edge over Miami.
The Niners owned the 80s with a 3 to 2 edge over Washington.
The Cowboys owned the 90s with a 3 to 2 edge over SF and Denver.
The Pats owned 2000-2009 with a 3 to 2 edge over the Steelers.
With two years left on the 2010-2019 run it's the Pats 2 and a six teams who could tie and/or take the decade: NO (unlikely), GB (possible), Gia (iffy) Bal (unlikely), Seattle (maybe), and Denver (with Romo, one thing, with what they have, not going to happen).

Dallas also won two SB in the 70s. They also played in more SBs than any team during the 70s with a 5 to 3 edge over the Steelers.
Dallas also won more regular season games during the 70s than any team. During the 70s the Cowboys had ten consecutive winning seasons which contributed to their NFL record of 20 consecutive winning seasons.
Dallas has the highest winning percentage of all teams during the regular season and during the regular season and the playoffs combined.
So Dallas' record during the 70s cannot be overlooked. And during the 90s the Cowboys had a 3 to 2 edge over SF and Denver in Super Bowl wins.
That's right. Add them to the list of runners up along with Miami.
Who counts losses? I mean other than the Vikings and Bills.
lain:Ah, the Peyton Manning of franchises.
How'd they do in the last twenty? I'm kidding. No one wants to hear about that. :nono:
And still only dominated in one decade? How did they avoid moving to Atlanta anyway?
Okay. . . Good job, Dallas. You and Miami were t-h-i-s close.
I literally wrote that.
lain: Again:The Steelers owned the 70s with a 3 to 2 SB edge over Miami.
The Niners owned the 80s with a 3 to 2 edge over Washington.
The Cowboys owned the 90s with a 3 to 2 edge over SF and Denver.
The Pats owned 2000-2009 with a 3 to 2 edge over the Steelers.

Am I missing what these numbers mean? I thought Pittsburgh and SF each had four SB wins in their respective decades of dominance?...I literally wrote that.
The Steelers owned the 70s with a 3 to 2 SB edge over Miami.
The Niners owned the 80s with a 3 to 2 edge over Washington....
