While we are on the topic of great films in Pittsburgh history, I'd like to share a great moment in Pittsburgh history caught on film: the naming of Steely McBeam.
To review, there was a contest held to name the new Steelers' mascot. This lucky woman won, and history was made. Yinzer nation at its absolute finest hour.
I missed this when it was originally aired. I love her explanation and the accent.
ReplyDeletei love how she says so matter-of-factly: 'cause the steelers are irish.' haha... and irish only has one syllable of course
ReplyDeleteI love her cackle at the end after realizing she admitted on TV that the mascot is named after her alcoholic husband's drink of choice. This is dually what makes Pittsburgh great and horrifying at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI love great moments in local newscasts. I'll post my personal favorite later today. Does the name Frank Fontana ring a bell?
ReplyDeleteI never knew where the name came from. This was very enlightening.
