Have A Black & Gold Christmas In case you missed the lights, storefront decorations, and jarringly cold winds, I'll point out that the holiday season is upon us. While the predominant Yuletide colors are red and green, there are plenty of ways to get a little black & gold into your holidays. Here’s a look at an even dozen gift ideas – some fun, some functional, and some just plain old weird – that should light up the Steeler fan in your life: - Wouldn't your workday be much better if you could hang out with Hines Ward all day. Well, you can't, but thanks to comic-mastermind-turned-toy-kingpin Todd McFarlane, you can now prop Hines up on your desk. Behold, the Hines Ward action figure: http://www.spawn.com/toys/product.aspx?division=toys&category=sports&series=nfl7&product=hward - Maybe you'd like to celebrate Pittsburgh's other great football franchise this holiday season. No, not the Pitt Panthers... the Pittsburgh Maulers of the USFL. Thanks to Distant Replays, you can now relive the glory days (short as they were) of Mike Rozier and the Steel City's other pro football team: http://www.distantreplays.com/distant/product.asp?s%5Fid=0&dept%5Fid=3128&pf%5Fid=PAAAIAJPBHPCJHAK& - Contrary to what some might tell you, you need more than beer to tailgate properly. The Heinz Field Cookbook contains 120 recipes, most kicked in by current and former Pittsburgh Steelers players, wives, and coaches. Plus, proceeds benefit A Glimmer of Hope’s fight against breast cancer: http://www.glimmerofhopepin.org/Sponsors-.asp - Who better to find under your tree than Santa's favorite elf? No, not Will Farrell, Myron Cope. Add a little "Yoi" to your holidays with the official Myron Cope bobblehead: http://shop.steelers.com/catalog/product|37767 - Have you ever wanted to see Plaxico clad in only a white tank top throwing you his "come hither" look? Nope, me neither, but here he is on the Steeler Players' 2004 Calendar. You get 12 months of Steelers in their casual Friday best, including Maddox, Portter, Bettis, Faneca, Gildon, Zereoue, Ward, Bell, Bruener, Washington, and Randle El. What, no Kimo Von Olhoffen? http://shop.steelers.com/catalog/product|40009 - Let's face it, you weren't there when the Steelers won all those Super Bowls. I mean, sure you were a Steelers fan, but you weren't actually there. So why not lie? Pick up this set of four pennants from each of the Steelers' four Super Bowl wins, display them proudly in your home, and make up an elaborate lie about how you hitchhiked to New Orleans and stashed yourself in Ernie Holmes' garment bag to sneak into Super Bowl IX: http://shop.steelers.com/catalog/product|37553 - I love the Steelers, but these are the ugliest sunglasses I've ever seen. However, you may know someone who feels differently: http://www.footballfanatics.com/pages/ffproducts/__17021.html - What do you get for the Mark Malone fan in your life? Well, besides a clue, there's a lovely autographed mini helmet available on eBay. Or, at least there WAS a lovely autographed mini helmet available on eBay. The auction ended earlier this week without a single bid... expect to see it pop up again: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2763774002&category=27276 - Hey Mean Rob, what do you want us to do with your ashes after you're gone? Funny you should ask: http://www.footballfanatics.com/pages/ffproducts/__39873.html - Finally, someone has brought together the strength of the Steelers and the whimsy of a charm bracelet. Yes, if you've ever wondered what kind of charm bracelet Jack Lambert would choose, you can find your answer here: http://www.allsports.com/cgi-bin/store/shop/002_F-STEE-BRA-CHARM.html - Do you like nipples? Hey, who doesn't? But wouldn't they look better with a Steelers nipple ring dangling from them? You be the judge: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2670389775&category=15126 - And finally, if you're looking for the perfect way to wash out your mouth after yelling at the Browns, then your search has ended... Steelers soap is here: http://www.hsbath.com/index_steel.html In Franco we trust, Mean Rob more deep thoughts: Who's Got The O? Who Better? Why Are The Steelers The Only Team That Matters?
