Ever since moving to Memphis, I've always been fascinated by this city's obsession with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Just take a drive around Memphis and you are likely to see Steelers flags waving in the air and Steelers logo magnets stuck on the side of cars.

Recently, I had someone explain the phenomena to me. Apparently, back in the day, the only teams that were on TV in the Memphis area were the Steelers or the Cowboys, and for some reason in the Memphis area, the Steelers became the team of choice. Today, despite the fact that the Tennessee Titans are only a couple of hours away, I wouldn't be surprised if Steelers fans outnumbers Titans fans.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, but there is another Steelers team that I'm rooting for - The newly formed "Uptown Steelers"! The Uptown Steelers are made up of 3rd and 4th graders from the neighborhood and just started practicing this week. They've got a great team of coaches and they seemed to be having a great time yesterday when I went out to get some pictures of them for our upcoming Uptown newsletter.
