Wow, I never would have guessed that

Here's a dumb article.

Although most people living near the capital of Steeler Nation watched the hometown heroes take on the Arizona Cardinals last night, some read books, sipped lattes or watched movies.

University of Pittsburgh student Sam Pittman, 22, of Squirrel Hill spent the game at a cozy table in his neighborhood cafe, Arefa's Espresso, learning to speak Icelandic.

"I'm not really into football," Pittman said. "And I have too much studying to do."

Fellow Pitt student Chad Vogler, 30, of Shadyside agreed.

"I don't care in the slightest" who wins, he said, opening a textbook.

Is this a news story? You hang around the Oakland area, my old nabe, talking to Pitt students and you're surprised to find folks who don't care about professional football. Come on... Shadyside is where they have the gay pride parade. Don't be dumb.
