This Sunday, I got a press credential from Sporting News to attend the Steelers-Ravens game. It's the first time I've watched an NFL game from the press box, but that's not why I went. No, like the other times I've ventured to Baltimore-Pittsburgh games, it's to observe firsthand the Grand Guignol that is the rancorous interaction between Steelers and Ravens fans.

Can David Carr Step In?
