The Office And The Bus
I think we’re all aware that tomorrow’s episode will (in part) be a paper convention in Philadelphia. Well, ESPN has a great article about Jerome Bettis making a guest appearance. Michael Scott invites Jerome to the party in his hotel room.
In case you don’t know, Jerome Bettis was a great NFL Running Back. Besides being a nice guy, he was also really talented. His nickname is “The Bus.” He recently retired from a Pennsylvania team called the Pittsburgh Steelers. (Which makes me wonder. Is Scranton, PA considered a Steelers town or a Eagles town? Any Scranton readers care to fill me in?)
Anyway, the ESPN article has a nice write up and a real funny video. They filmed the scene being filmed and show it in the clip. You can see both the article and the video here on ESPN. (Scroll down to the bottom.)

Scranton is geographically closer to Philadelphia, but it usually comes down to which team is doing better at the moment.

A lot of Scrantonians also root for the Giants or the Jets. New York is closer than Pittsburg.

Bob is right, whatever team is winning.

Scranton is such a pittsburgh area. Even when you are there, you get Pittsburgh news and Pittsburgh high school football games and everything Pittsburgh.
Philadelphia is so much better…

yeah, but I live in harrisburg PA and it’s also closer to philadelphia, however it’s a steelers fan-base.

There are Steelers fans everywhere - “Steeler Nation” — Steelers fans can really travel well. That said, I live in Scranton and I see a mix of Steelers and Eagles.

There are a lot of old time Steelers fan due to their success in the 70’s. But if you watch the news and read the newspaper, there is much more concentration on the Philadelphia teams. I say it’s more of a Philly town.

i would say it is an eagles area, but with steelers winning the super bowl last year, everywhere seems to be a Steeler area now.
of course..they stink this year. 1-3. hahahaha.
