I don’t want to come across as cold or insensitive, but with everyone losing their collective **** over last weeks NFL raping of the Steelers and the front office behaving like jag offs by releasing my favorite Steeler of my lifetime; I wanted to share a story about a Steeler fan who is having it WAY worse than us.
I know there is some “what a dumbass” to this story, but I have a Steeler item that is sacred to me and I probably would risk my *** to get it back. This poor Bub risked it and now is having the worst week of all of us in the Steeler Nation. Get past the “dumbass” part and send out love and prayers for our brother who too bleeds Black and Gold. It’s Christmas and my wish is for this guy to get home and get good news.
Peace and Salute the Nation!

DESTIN, Fla. (AP) - A Florida man now living in Bali is fighting for his life after he fell from a roof while chasing a monkey that had stolen his favorite Pittsburgh Steelers cap.
The Northwest Florida Daily News reported that Jeff "Swede" Swedenhjelm fell 33 feet (10 meters) on Monday.
Villagers took him to a local hospital, where he was diagnosed with severe damage to his spinal cord. He currently is paralyzed from the chest down.
Lyric Swedenhjelm, who lives in Destin, said the family is trying to get her father to a country with a spinal specialist. She said Swedenhjelm is in a medically induced coma and is on a ventilator.
The family has started a fundraising page on GoFundMe, which has already raised more than $39,000.
