Alright, so the Steelers appreciate tradition enough that they are one of the few NFL franchises without cheerleaders, but then they go and trot this thing out as a mascot?

They should have just called him "Steely Dan" and been done with it.

Wow. That is more than a little gay. I have no problem with that, I just doubt that is what they were trying to accomplish.
It's basically a yellow version of the village people construction guy and to top it off, his name is a euphemism for an erect dong.

Something about the 5 o'clock shadow cracks me up, moreso than the inaneness of Steely McBeam himself.

His name sounds like it came off a McDonald's bag.
Although I do see one positive to his persona: He's got a freakin' steel beam, and he can carry it with one arm!!! That dude is superstrong!

That's what Bill Cowher would look like if he smiled.
