The world of sports and entertainment is mourning the loss of a true icon. Wrestling superstar Hulk Hogan, known for his unmatched charisma, electric energy, and unforgettable presence in the ring, has passed away at the age of 71.

While millions knew him for his wrestling glory, fans in Pittsburgh remember him for something else — his longtime support for the Steelers.

Over the years, Hogan was seen wearing black and gold on multiple occasions, often expressing admiration for the team’s toughness and legacy. He may not have been the loudest or most visible fan, but his steady support was clear. Whether it was attending games, referencing the team in interviews, or posting about them online, Hogan quietly stood with Steelers Nation.

“Pittsburgh plays with grit — that’s what I’ve always loved,” he once said.
“They don’t back down from anybody. That’s how I’ve lived my life, brother.”

His passing has sparked an outpouring of respect from Steelers fans, players, and fellow athletes. Social media quickly filled with memories — both of Hogan’s wrestling days and of his quiet loyalty to the black and gold.

While he may never have stepped onto an NFL field, his larger-than-life persona fit right in with the heart and pride of Steelers football.

Today, the Terrible Towels wave not just for Pittsburgh — but for the legend who once waved them with us.
Rest in peace, Hulk Hogan. Steelers Nation remembers you.

As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to face the Detroit Lions this Sunday, all eyes are now turning from the gridiron to the skies. A developing Nor’easter storm system threatens to disrupt one of Week 6’s most anticipated cross-conference showdowns. According to the FOX Forecast Center, a powerful low-pressure area is expected to form off the southeastern U.S. coast and move north along the Atlantic. This Nor’easter is projected to bring heavy rain, strong winds, and dangerous coastal conditions through the weekend, with potential impacts stretching from the Carolinas to New York. Meteorologists warn that flooding and gusts over 50 mph could reach inland regions — including parts of Missouri and Michigan — potentially affecting stadium operations, team travel, and fan attendance for the Chiefs–Lions clash. FOX 5 NY’s Mike Woods commented, “It looks like Sunday into Monday right now, but one of the models brings it quite close to us, which is the American model. The other one wants to push it back into the Carolinas.” The game is expected to be postponed either to later that evening or the following day. The storm’s path remains uncertain, and league officials are monitoring the situation closely to make adjustments depending on weather developments. For now, coverage remains scheduled as normal — Chiefs vs. Lions kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET on FOX, with pregame programming beginning at 11:30 a.m. on KCTV5. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned to official Chiefs channels for any schedule changes related to the incoming Nor’easter.
