Steelers vs Saints in Paris

https://x.com/i/status/2054328530490540475

Sounding like the Steelers will be going to Paris Week 7. Ozzy is pretty good with schedule leaks, but who knows

 

Paris is a beautiful city and all, but I really hated my experiences in France.

 

I don't mind if it counts as one of our away games, but if that takes a home game from us, that's a bunch of crap.

 

Away game this year. Ireland last year was a home game. They pretty much try to work it so teams with 9 home games host, and 9 away games are visitors. Except for Jacksonville.

 

I have done one romantic thing in my life

I took my wife to Paris for Valentines Day

I think that counts

We really enjoyed it there

I got some tapes (it was a while ago) and learned basic French and that opened a kindness from locals who didn’t think I was a rude American expecting them to speak English

Although 80% of them would switch to English just to stop me from butchering their language

I had the same response in Montreal

 

I see the movie coming out

Yinzers in Paris

 

That was me when I was there in 1985. I saw people inside the Arc De Triomphe and couldn't figure out how they got there so I dodged through 12 lanes of traffic nearly getting hit several times. When I finally got inside the Arc I saw there were pedestrian tunnels that led you there from the sidewalk.

 

More and more members of the media are tweeting this. Seems unofficially official

 

Hopefuuly that means our bye week is week 8

 

Bout as perfect week as possible for it as well.

 

I think we're bout to have a run on years of playing abroad more often than not, and that's not figuring in Krafts proposal of all teams having at least one game a year abroad as part of the 18 game proposal. I can see is in Mexico in 27, ??? in 28, and Ireland in 29. Germany, Austria and Italy make a ton of sense and Poland would be a wildcard in the coming decade as a destination. I know the average football fan hates this, but this is the new norm and isn't going away anytime soon.

 

Missed opportunity years ago to have Da Bears with Da Coach Iron Mike Ditka and his bunch of Grabowskis play in Poland. Those Poles from Warsaw East (Chicago then had the second most Poles of any city in the world next to Warsaw but was surpassed by London in 2012 and some other cities in Poland since) could have made the trip then and visited the home land.
