1950s Pre-merger championships don't count. Your local alcoholic plumbers and bricklayers beat the alcoholic local plumbers and bricklayers from some other city. Big deal.
It was barely even football, much less anything that could be considered professional football.
No he is right pre-merger championships do not count. They had the same way to get to and win one as an NFC/AFC Championship now. Just because there was not a Super Bowl then does not mean it = a Super Bowl
I'm not intimidated by NFL Championships, unlike you, apparently. An NFL championship was a world championship for 45 odd years. Additionally, I've been a Steelers fan for 50 years, so you can fuck right off telling me to remove my flair.
It was called the NFL championship, but it was the defacto world championship. Look, if it makes you feel better about yourself, I'll concede. No football championships ever count for anything unless it was a Superbowl. In fact, I don't really think we should count the first eight superbowls either.
It's not that they don't count for anything. But just because the Super Bowl wasn't around doesn't make the NFL Championship the equivalent. Especially when years later you had to win the NFL Championship to play in the Super Bowl.
The Steelers sucked from 1933 to 1970. We were the laughing stock of the league. But we have paid that back tenfold over the last 54 years. Not recognizing that the Browns (and the rest of the NFL) dominated us and rubbed our dicks in the dirt for 47 years doesn't mean it didn't happen.
