If you were to make an electoral-style map showing the NFL allegiances in the state of Pennsylvania, the entire western portion would be an uninterrupted sea of Pittsburgh Steelers black and gold.
Well, almost an uninterrupted sea. About 60 miles east of Pittsburgh, a tiny renegade island of blue-and-red Giants fans sits smack dab in the middle of coal and steel country. Welcome to Homer City, hometown of Giants coach Ben McAdoo.
On most football Sundays, the 1,700 residents here cheer for both the Giants and the Steelers. This Sunday, however, things have gotten complicated: McAdoo’s Giants are playing Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers at Heinz Field.
