Nine satirical classified ads, three columns, all team-specific. FOR SALE. WANTED. LOST & FOUND. HELP WANTED. ANNOUNCEMENT. NOTICE. PERSONALS. OBITUARIES. The CONTACT line is always the punchline. Always.
Mike Tomlin coached the Steelers from 2007 to 2025. Record: 170–114. Never had a losing season. Zero Super Bowl wins after 2009. Dismissed following the 2025 season. The knowledge has departed. The never-had-a-losing-season streak has also departed. The new head coach is from Pittsburgh. The Rooneys considered this relevant.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have six Super Bowl championships, more than any franchise in NFL history. The last one was in February 2009. Sixteen seasons have passed. The franchise has not located Ring No. 7. The franchise has hired M. McCarthy, who won a Super Bowl with A. Rodgers in 2011. The franchise is aware of the irony. The franchise is proceeding anyway.
The Steelers have not had a settled franchise quarterback since B. Roethlisberger retired after the 2021 season. Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph, Russell Wilson, and A. Rodgers have all occupied the position in the years since. A. Rodgers has announced this will be his final season. The position will be vacant again in 2027. Drew Allar has been drafted. The search continues.
M. Tomlin occupied this role for 18 seasons without a losing record. This is an NFL record. The position has been filled by M. McCarthy, who won Super Bowl XLV over these same Pittsburgh Steelers in 2011. The Steelers have hired the coach who last beat them in a Super Bowl. The Rooneys believe this is a positive development.
The Pittsburgh Steelers announce that A. Rodgers, age 42, and M. McCarthy have reunited for one final season. The duo won Super Bowl XLV together in Green Bay. Their partnership subsequently became complicated. They have agreed to set that aside. The Steelers thank both parties for their professionalism. A. Rodgers has announced this is his final season. M. McCarthy is aware.
Available as a complete unit: 18 seasons, 170 wins, 114 losses, zero losing seasons, one Super Bowl title, and a dismissal following year 18. Buyer receives all components, including the never-had-a-losing-season achievement, which ends with the era. The Ring is not included. Ring No. 7 remains outstanding.
The Pittsburgh Steelers formally acknowledge that sixteen seasons have elapsed since Super Bowl XLIII. The Steelers have six championships. The Steelers have not added to that total since 2009. The Steelers have a new coach, a veteran quarterback in his final season, and a plan. Steeler Nation has been notified. Steeler Nation was already aware.
Steeler Nation, lifelong, worldwide. Have followed this franchise through six championships and sixteen ring-less seasons. Have a new coach. Have A. Rodgers for one final run. Have Drew Allar waiting behind him. Have the towels. Have always had the towels. Would like to wave them in February for the right reason.
Passed at the conclusion of the 2025 season, after 18 years without a losing record — an NFL record that ends with the tenure. It won one Super Bowl. It never had a bad year. It also never had a second ring. It is survived by M. McCarthy, A. Rodgers, and Steeler Nation, who filled Acrisure Stadium for all 18 seasons and will fill it again in 2026.
A full team-specific Top Ten list. Completely deadpan. Treats every item with total journalistic seriousness. The list below is a sample. Yours will be specific to your team’s particular situation, history, and ongoing triumphs and disasters.
Seven team-specific fake eBay listings, ready to go every cycle, styled exactly like the real site — photo, description, seller, and current bid. The items are always something your team has misplaced, squandered, or never possessed. Reserve has not been met, and never may be met.
One team-specific Outer Limits Enquirer front page, every cycle. Completely straight-faced. It sells itself — that’s how funny it is.
Four new proposed NFL rules, each presented with complete regulatory seriousness. The title is always “THE NFL COMPETITION COMMITTEE PROPOSES:” followed by the rule name. Three to five sentences of deadpan satire. A new batch of four rules, every seven-week cycle.
Effective immediately, any player who is visibly sad after a penalty will be allowed to challenge the call on emotional grounds. The replay official will review the player’s expression in slow motion. If certified “genuinely devastated” by a panel of three therapists stationed in the press box, the penalty is waived. The Dallas Cowboys have already filed 847 pre-season challenges.
Starting in 2026, head coaches will be required to answer one post-game question with complete honesty. The question will be selected at random by a wheel spin. Early testing was abandoned after three coaches resigned, one cried, and Bill Belichick’s honest answer was legally classified as a threat.
In an effort to make fumbles less discouraging, any fumble recovered by the opposing team will now be referred to as an “unintentional lateral.” The player who fumbled will receive a certificate of effort. The team that recovered it will receive six points. Both outcomes will be celebrated equally on the official broadcast.
All play-by-play announcers will now be graded in real time by a panel of former players. Phrases such as “he just wanted it more,” “that’s a football player right there,” and “you cannot teach that” will trigger an automatic fine of $500 per occurrence. Early projections suggest the league will be debt-free by Week 3.
A fully illustrated satirical children’s book, team-specific, written for the fan who has a child who needs to understand why Sunday afternoons are like this. The illustrations are beautiful. The subject matter is not. Both things are intentional.
