Outspoken former pitcher Curt Schilling is a card-carrying member of Steeler Nation, and as a card-carrying member, he is naturally defensive of his favorite team. So when dropped into a "Slugfest" staged debate with Mike Felger on Boston's WEEI.com website with the topic of "Why the Steelers are one of the most annoying franchises in sports", the gloves came off. A snippet of his defense:

The Steelers, annoying? What's the annoying part?Curt makes some great points, although his inclusion of #3 predictably generated a spirited response from Felger. But rather than spoil the entire debate for you, I'll zip it at this point and you can be the judge of who made the more compelling argument. Because I'm sure you woke up this morning and wondered, "I wonder how a retired pitcher would defend the Steelers' honor right in the heart of Patriots' country?"
1) More Super Bowls than any franchise in NFL history?
2) Fewer head coches than most teams have in a decade, in their entire team history?
3) No drug scandals
4) No players that murdered someone in their family
5) Hall of Famer after Hall of Famer that were great guys. From Franco Harris, to Swann, Stallworth, Lambert, Ham, Blount to Bradshaw their franchise is littered with awesome players who were/are great people.
