What is a Yinzer? Steelers Mascot Steely McBeam

[xoRavensxo]

lol.

[SSMayday1]

But I'm not from Pitt, I'm from Erie.

[SSMayday1]

Maybe its because I'm from PA, but I listened to this twice, and hear no accent.

[Jeffredo729]

Wow, what an accent (and I'm not dissing her).

[Stormcloud410]

Ravens gonna F* up your whole city this year dirty appalachian Yinzer.

[DBR96A]

@Stormcloud410 Unlike Baltimore, Pittsburgh has never had one of the highest rates of sexually-transmitted diseases of all major U.S. cities. You wanna talk "dirty"? Baltimore was the gonorrhea and syphilis capital of the United States in 2000. But having STDs sure beats living over 1,000' above sea level, huh? *lol*

[brocky70]

Better than that walking steel beam thing they had. still retarded though.

[ECsponger2]

I love this lady

[soilandstar]

Um, Ms. Flappy tits 'Mc' is a Scottish surname prefix. The Irish surname prefix is ' ' O' '

And by the way Jim Beam is from Kentucky.

Funny, nothing about Primanti Bros. French fires and slaw on sandwiches. Fat, stupid, unlettered, lazy American.

[yurismir1]

@soilandstar Ummm...no actually "Mc" and "Mac" can be Irish or Scottish. For example, "McCarthy" and "MacNamara" are both Irish surnames. Closely related Goidelic (Gaelic) languages are spoken in both Ireland and Scotland. "Mc" is simply an abbreviation of "Mac" which in Gaelic means "son of". "O" can only be Irish and it means "grandson of" although it is sometimes translated as "descendant of". An ignoramus like you shouldn't be allowed to call anyone else on the planet stupid.

[djcoffman13]

Steely McBeam gets fired by Fans N'at fansnat.com/steely-youre-fired­/

[bbz232]

Wow. that lady completely just embarrassed Pittsburgh.

[68corvette08]

How can the Steelers be Irish when they are from the U.S.?

[cheezyfri]

I dont like steely because hes lame im from ohio & i hate the Bengals & browns but i like steelers they need a better won

[neonkid98]

@cheezyfri a better won hmmmmm i wish you never said you were from ohio just cross the border and join your retarded yinzers

[itsubachi]

GO STEELERS! Pittsburgh Native!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zipsrule]

Go Stillers.

[lfdh3playa360]

@zipsrule um...i dont know how to tell you this...maybe I'll let the title of the video how to spell, "Steelers".

[jdeeva]

@lfdh3playa360 If you were from Pittsburgh you would know that they pronounce it "Stillers!"

[tlv156]

@nickdemo hahaha, i love it.

[curlyfry1106]

glad he got a dui and doesn't exist anymore

[Moldrid1026]

'Cuz it's a stiww tahhhn.

[Moldrid1026]

All de way from Butler Caahny, Stillers Mascawt: Stiwwey McBeam.....

"Der ya gowe. It's a all-win sicha-ashun."

[sscbs]

The Steelers have always been owned by the Rooney family, and Irish family. One of the owners, Dan Rooney, is actually the current US ambassador to Ireland.

[thekth]

The Steelers are Irish?  WTF lady?

[TubeSteak007]

Maybe she means the Steel-WORKERs are Irish, altho that's debatable since day 1 of the Steel Industry: America is a melting pot. Perhaps she meant the Rooneys are Irish. My point is this: With a choice between scantily-clad girls distracting fans from the game, or this family-friendly character; I think they made the right choice. It's cheaper to pay a mascot than to finance a crew of professional models (& subs) who will constantly quarrel over salaries & who gets the biggest dressing room.

[thekth]

I agree.  I like watching the other teams' cheerleaders, but I'm glad the Steelers are no-nonsense and don't have that extra burden.

[SeeYouNextFall]

@thekth

I thought most of Pittsburgh residents are Polish?

I just moved here and I have a hard time pronouncing most of the people's last names around here.

[EmeraldizingTheStars]

there's a lot of polish yeah

[thekth]

Yeah. I wouldn't say most, but it's probably the group that the city is known for, and there are a lot of last names that end in "ski". After that is probably German. That's why I'm not really sure what the lady is talking about. Maybe that other guy's right and she's talking about the Rooneys. Enjoy the Burgh, not a lot of people move TO the Burgh, most people move away (because of jobs, not because it's a bad place. It's a great place to live, actually, once you get used to the yinzers).

[SeeYouNextFall]

I moved here to Pittsburgh to go back to school and finish my degree.I have so far enjoyed Pittsburgh except for two things.The pot holes here are insane. I have been to 3rd world countries that had better roads than this city.And the other thing is It seems like many (NOT all) people in Pittsburgh are very rude and lack manners.

But other than that I really like Pittsburgh.

Its also a lot safer than where Im from. Its not a god damn war zone like my shitty hometown.

[scorwitz]

@SeeYouNextFall I'm from Pittsburgh and it has consistently been voted one of America's friendliest cities. Where have you experienced the rudeness? I'm just curious, I know there are rude people everywhere. I live in New York City now and when I return home, one of the things I love is the warm smiling faces that I see all around the city.

[neonkid98]

@scorwitz they must be cause the dont have any teeth to bite you with

[tylerdaleman]

Do the Steelers need a mascot? Are ticket sales down or something? They need a yellow Klingon to make the kids happy I guess.

[Navdan87]

It's BILL COWHER!!

[lilmidgetgirl69]

Lol I understood every word perfectly!

Go Stillers!!

[gummybrain]

What the hell did she just say?

[DJFrederickHart]

Did she really say "HUSBINT"???

[MelancoliaI]

ah stiwly mcbean ahkay, well stiwwly bacahse it's a stiwwl tahn, Mc bacahs dis...dahh stiwwlers ar arasch, ahkay and beam becahse stiwwl beam plas mah husbant loves jim beam

[bluehairspaz]

lol steely mcdaniels. or steely wild turkey.

[darlingdino]

OMG what a freaking retard. It's very embarrassing to say I live near Pgh when these people speak like this. It's so unsophisticated! I've been here since I was 10 (I'm 33 now) and I refuse to allow myself to say something such as yinzer, yins, or yuns. WTF is that?!?!

[fattboyslim3]

Shut the fuck up.

[darlingdino]

Nice language. You must be from "The Burgh". My case AND point exactly...

[BocoROTH]

If you don't like it then GTFO.

[darlingdino]

I like making fun of these morons hehe!

[yammyspeed13]

Now, that's what you call a bad case of "mon mouth".

[mcboltron]

stealy mcdaniels hah

[HempForPresident]

The Steelers new mascot: The Steelers! Six time Superbowl Champions. We don't need no stinking mascot.

[schmetterlink]

If I had never lived in Pittsburgh, I would have heard her say "Still Tahn" and thought the audio was bad or something.

[superplus88]

a yinzer is the product of generations of Pittsburgh incest.

[yammyspeed13]

Yeah, and the Brittish are the product of generations of English incest. What's your point?

[SkyRifter]

>>Steely Mc-Beam!"

Girl sings!

[SkyRifter]

Hey >It's GUT"Z MANS ASS:

^^^

Youtube poop! >>Look it up too'z

It looks like Guts man too!

[pggyyr]

Poster doesn't understand what a "brainchild" is.

[ss2909]

worst mascot name ever... we shouldnt even have one... next thing you know we will have cheerleaders.... GO STEELERS!!!

[RyRobb813]

Saw a beer get dumped on him once, made me feel better about the whole situation

[AVerbene]

@RyRobb813 what kind of pittsburgher would waist a good beer

[88rgirl]

[pens29hockey48fan25]

[gncc1]

steely is gay, no real steeler fan wants that shit,  GO STEELERS !!!

[xashleyxisxhardcorex]

I'm too used to it to notice anything different.

[FromtheDarkstream]

absolutely the gayest mascot of all time. go ravens. death to the squealers.

[HeyThereFracaso]

you're just jealous that we're the 6 times champs of the superbowl.

[DBR96A]

What do you call somebody who spells 'Steelers' with a 'Q'?

Illiterate.

[luciditythruireNYHC]

GO STEELERS!

[030ladz]

ANY GUYS UP?

someone smart please help me Yy

[007tron]

anyone want to chat

i need someone smart to keep me entertained Jy

[MDalto1]

That is the perfect example of a Pgh accent...that is so damn funny. I'm from the Steel City, but I live in VA now. Every time I visit and go back to VA they always say how funny I sound. I never even realized we had an accent until I started living down in the South. LOL

[vice2vursa]

@MDalto1 lol, you should watch the tornado boy video, you got a butch of people talking about how weird and funny sounding his accent is. I'm like, what, I didint know we had an accent that was THAT bad.

[vice2vursa]

@MDalto1 lol, you should watch the tornado boy video, you got a butch of people talking about how weird and funny sounding his accent is. I'm like, what, I didint know we had an accent that was THAT bad, he sounded completely normal to me lol.

[spencio]

instead of steely mcbeam as mascot, this woman should have taken over the Public Address System duties at Heinz Field. It would have been a far more accurate representation of the spirit of the city.

[AVerbene]

mc because he is ours? i dont get it

[RSC2006]

no not ours.. Irish.. pittsburghese is a nasty language!

[MDalto1]

I agree!!!....and that's bad because I speak it...LMAO

[HempForPresident]

Hahahahahahaha! Irish!! Ahrsh!!!  Yinz gaus gahtta git widdit, n'at.

[mattrmc19]

steely mcfaggot. i hate that mascot. he's worthless.

[JunkyardKid]

he shoulda had a mustache and been named "Bill"

[Persian83]

He shoulda been some actual steel worker that sat in a lawn chair and drank Irons all game.

[AVerbene]

we should paint him black and give him a weird forehead and call him mike

[HempForPresident]

not after that stunt with the goal horn for the Hurricanes... lame.

[PinballWizard977]

WTF is this even leading off the news? Im from Pittsburgh but the past two days has nothing but Steelers Training Camp leading off the news for the first 15 minutes... to quote A.I. "We're Talking about Practice!" Come to me when they are playing REAL games!

[crosbyfanatic]

The steelers aren't meant to have a mascot. and if you have one you may as well not name it something retarded. "steelymcbean" WTF?

[crispysteelerfan]

yeah man. the steelers don't need a mascot. they're already great without it.

[amclaff]

i'm embarrassed.

[jaybreak]

Gosh, the shot of that woman and the two kids is pure redneck. The Pennsyltucky contingent in the Pgh metro area needs to go away.

[cornbreadandchampale]

Man, for the first time in my life I feel sorry for all pittsburgh fans. Go cowboys!

[crispysteelerfan]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! go cowboys! that's the funniest thing i've ever heard! i live in dallas and they're a bunch of pathetic flashy gay pussies. (to the tune of the flinstones) tony romo he's a homo he's the gayest player in the nfl from the town of dallas he's a place right out of gay history that's right with his boyfriend down the street through the courtesy of his boyfriend's car tony romo, he's a homo have a yabba dabba doo time, a dabba doo time we'll have a GAY old time!

[cornbreadandchampale]

Hey crispy Tony is not nearly as gay as your mascot.

[tryn1227]

"Mc" in front of a name is not Irish. Its actually scottish meaning "son of". should be Steely O'Beam.

[Foolishpleazure]

Youre WRONG.Names that start with MC are Irish and Names that start with MAC are Scottish.

[hoopskay86]

what the fuck are you saying myroncope

[zimishzac]

Im from the Pitt area and just dont think the Steelers need a mascot. They love to make fun of him on the DVE Morning Show. It's so stupid..

[EmeraldizingTheStars]

hey don't dis pa accents =D

[desertnerd]

pronounced "stiwwy mcbim" in pittsburgh.

[kclo]

God I must kill that mascot. The do not need cheerleaders or mascots. period.

[vincethetyreprince]

steely mcbeam! haha wat a joke

[chretiendutroyes]

I'd have gone with the legendary Joe Magarac

[jeffwhalen]

I thought only my family knew Joe Mataratz

[ShibbyBonBon]

I live in Boston (I KNOW.......BUT, we are all die-hards Stiller fans, including my Irish husband and children) and I always have a comeback to any of the cheaters comments about our guys. BUT, THIS DUDE IS EMBARRASSING!! WHAT'S NEXT, CHEERLEADERS???????

[steelers724309]

this is so stupid...get rid of him..i dont want no mascot named after a local yinzers alcohol affection

[shromack]

1. The Steelers are not Irish.

2. Everyone has a regional accent. Linguistics 101.

3) As for user FilipinoRaider, I'd bet that you're from/ live in California. I also bet that you use terms such as "hella." And you're busting on the 'burgh? Please, hyphie.

4. User "myroncope" is the most ignorant of you all--how could you choose Myron fucking Cope as your user name and be dissing on the 'burgh in any way whatsoever, including the physical appearance of its residents?

[myroncope]

Ehhooo? When did I dis the burgh or the "physical appearance of its residents"??? I am dissing the stupid mascot. Read again please. I love the Steelers and the Burgh, or I wouldn't care about the mascot either way.

[myroncope]

And here's how I bet you sound: Yayser "myrn cape" is the maste egg-nirnt of yay oll-- how kid yay chayse Myrn focking Cape as yor yayser nayme eend bay dissang onna bargh in eeny way whatsayever, inclayding da phizz-ee-cool uh-pearnce uv its rez-ee-dents?

[yourmomisthebest]

You cannot make this stuff up. <bangs head against table>

[myroncope]

When I first heard of the stupid mascot with the stupid name, I asked myself what the hell kind of idiot came up with this? The picture in my mind was that exact woman.

[FilipinoRaider]

I didn't know Hines Ward was Irish?????? WTF????

[DevilInPgh]

The Rooney family is, though.

[FilipinoRaider]

That video just made me want to VOMIT!!!!!

[MiztaBlu]

[Juddas07]

Dude, I lived an hour east of Pittsburgh, and don't have a severe yinzer accent, but still a W/PA accent. It's a way of speech and not just pronunciation. The whole dialect is a weird arrangement of grammar.

JAG-OFFS, YINZ DUNNO NOTHIN'.........

[Juddas07]

WDVE morning show with Jim and Randy.... and Ralph the cat, n'at

[PerformanceTV]

The Steelers are Irish ?

[myroncope]

I don't get it either.

[chretiendutroyes]

Art Rooney, the founder was Irish. I suppose that's what she was talking about.

[wasyeah]

this gets great around 30 seconds when she starts talking

[sund7cuU]

As a former Steelers fan, I offer my sincere condolences to the citizens of Pittsburgh in light of these events. The goofy mascot is bad enough, but couldn't they give him a macho name like "Iron Fist" or something? (Can someone from Pennsylvania please translate? Is she saying "a steel town"?)
