And yet it is.

Because Steeler fans can be found in nearly every corner of this country, two to three dozen of them are found each and every football Sunday at Finnigan's Pub, in Burlington, Vermont -- a small capillary in the circulatory system of the national black & gold bloodline.

Finnigan's may be a bit quiet this Sunday -- it is a bye week after all -- but here's a peak at a typical Sunday afternoon in this smallest of Steeler Nation outposts.
