Go Steelers!

BTUSA does not normally take positions on matters such as the Super Bowl, presidential elections, evolution vs. creation, etc. But this year our own Justin Hartwig will be on the field as the starting center for the Steelers. Good luck, Justin!

Eagles, Mantooth Fly

The Philadelphia Eagles and many of their fans are currently growing beards for the WBMC in Alaska. Unfortunately, the press keeps getting the story wrong, reporting that the beards are for the Superbowl instead. Oh well.
