I was doing a bit of online research for my column this week when I came across an article about the Steeler's new mascot.
Apparently the organization held a contest, received 70,000 entries, and then chose the name Steely McBeam. Steely McBeam?! Chris thinks it sounds like a porn name. It reminds me of an off-the-cuff slur my boyfriend might come up with, something along the lines of Fatty McCheeseburgereater or Slutty McHerpes.
I also have a problem with the mascot itself. I don't known, he just looks really... evil. He's got heavy eyebrows, deep set eyes and a sort of voracious half-grin. But hey, the Steelers are 4 and 1, so he must be doing something right.
