Before Pittsburgh became an outpost of urban blight on the edge of Appalachia, it was a bustling steel town that made the name Steeler synonymous with the town’s muscular, blue-collar work force (as opposed to today’s overweight unemployed force). The steelworker faces up against Buffalo Bill Cody, the Civil War vet, Western frontiersman, and pseudo-circus ringleader who inspired the name for Buffalo’s football team for no better reason than it was a decent play on words. It’s up to you to determine the winner… WHO DO YOU HAVE AS MORE MACHO?
