The Super Bowl is still a week and a half away, and there's plenty of time to talk strategy and matchups next week. So today, I thought I would pass along some of the stuff that's been sent my way from Steelers fans over the past week or so.

-- Click here for a "behind-the-scenes" clip from the Steelers' ESPN the Magazine photo shoot, including my favorite part, when Troy Polamalu describes the island on which he grew up by using James Harrison's bicep as a prop.

-- Click here to see a pop-up image someone created of downtown Pittsburgh. Pretty cool.

-- Here is another popup image entitled "Steelers Sunset." Fairly self-explanatory.

-- And, not that Steelers fans are nostalgic or anything, but a buddy of mine sent me a You Tube clip that offers a new twist on the classic Harrison-slams-a-Browns-fan highlight. It's a little loud, but otherwise sfw.

-- Finally, this from my mother-in-law, a lifelong Steelers fan married to a Browns fan. It might be an old joke but I had never heard it before:

Golden Telephone

A man in Topeka, Kan., decided to write a book about churches around
the country. He started by flying to San Francisco and started working
east from there.

Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and making
notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall and was intrigued
with a sign which read "Calls: $10,000 a minute."

Seeking out the pastor he asked about the phone and the sign. The pastor
answered that this golden phone is, in fact, a direct line to heaven and
if he pays the price he can talk directly to God.

The man thanked the pastor and continued on his way. As he continued to
visit churches in Seattle, Dallas, St. Louis, Chicago, Milwaukee, and
around the United States, he found more phones with the same sign, and
the same answer from each pastor.

Finally, he arrived in Pennsylvania. Upon entering a Church in
Pittsburgh, he saw the usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the sign
read "Calls: 35 cents."

Fascinated, he asked to talk to the pastor. "Father Jones, I have been
in cities all across the country and in each church I have found this
golden telephone and have been told it is a direct line to Heaven and
that I could talk to God, but in the other churches the cost was $10,000
a minute. Your sign reads only 35 cents a call. Why?

The priest, smiling benignly, replied : "Son, you're in Pittsburgh,
Pa., now, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers -- five-time Super Bowl
Champions; the Pittsburgh Pirates; the Pittsburgh Penguins; three vibrant
rivers meeting at the Point of the most beautiful downtown area around;
the city with the best hospitals, neighborhoods and friendliest people
in the world!

"You're in God's Country....it's a local call."
