Among the weightiest of topics discussed at the conference was supremacy in the AFC North. There was no consensus but it appears the issue will be resolved today. Here is where we stand:

On one hand, John is a diehard Bengals fan. Seen in the photos displaying his Carson Palmer jersey:

Furthermore, the next conference is being held in the fine city of Cincinnati.

On the other hand, Ted's SO Cindy and my wife Kelly discovered that they were natives of the same west Pittsburgh 'burb'. As they say, "you can take the girl out of Pittsburgh but you can't take the Pittsburgh out of the girl."

So I think that the regulars on this board need to come out and declare their allegiance.

Go Steelers! (Sorry John, but I married into Steelerdom. They snuck it into my wedding vows. :-) )
