Team Colors

Why is that year after year Steelers fans continue to call their team colors black and gold, when clearly it is yellow? One would think that a fan would know a teams colors, but this is not apparent in Steeler nation. I am not writing this to be offensive but to prove a point.

After all cities very own college is, in fact, blue and gold in the Pitt Panthers. Your own Pitt Panthers! This gold looks nothing like the so called "gold" that the Steelers have because it is yellow.



Shimmering gold.

There are even a few teams in the NFL that have gold in their colors I will bring to everyone's attention. The St. Louis Rams, and the San Francisco 49ers both have gold in their colors. Noticing a trend? All of these golds look very similar. Hm...maybe because it really is gold.



My stars, look at all those gold helmets.



The Saints gold looks just like the 49ers gold as well. Wow!



If that wasn't enough I will give the ultimate example, the ultimate comparison. The New Orleans Saints, recent Super Bowl champions are BLACK AND....GOLD. My oh my, who would have thought that? It seems fitting how their colors are black and gold and they call them black and gold.













Now check this out after looking at the sea of gold which I have provided...



Yellow.

I deeply apologize for bringing this to your attention Steeler fans, but you do not get a special new found shade of gold which is yellow just because it sounds better to say black and gold. Really, it is better to say black and yellow, then to completely fumble on your own colors. If you want to say black and gold change the yellow to gold. It is that simple.

Michael Vick: To Start Or Not To Start?

What is the deal with the Philadelphia Eagles. Michael Vick has put up solid numbers for them the past two games that he has played and I still think he gives them the best chance to win yet they are sitll debating putting Kolb back in. He has matured on the field. Watching him play, you can see that he is keeping his eyes down the field and he chooses to be a quarterback now instead of a runner. 

We all know what Michael Vick has done in his past, but if the guy gives your team the best chance to win wouldn't you let him play? He has served his time and some may still never forgive him for his past but I would like to see him get a chance to prove himself as a player.

What the Eagles now have to decide is whether or not they want to admit a rebuilding stage, with McNabb out and an inexperienced quarterback in Kolb, or do they want to start Vick and see where it takes them. I would choose Vick with the way things are looking right now.
