Let’s hope this is a little foreshadowing of things to come from Pittsburgh football this fall.

The Pittsburgh Passion, the city’s National Women’s Football Association franchise, took it to the Columbus Comets yesterday in the league championship game, shutting out their Ohio foes 32-0.  In doing so, ‘Burgh Ball, Women’s Division stepped up and showed the world that it doesn’t matter who dons the City’s pigskin colors — we’ll still stomp any Ohio football team into the ground.

The championship caps an amazing 12-0 season including playoffs.  During the post-season, the team defeated opponents by an average score of 44.5 to 7.  Their utterly dominant defense gave up a total of 53 points during the regular season; by contrast, their offense scored at least 52 points in five of their eight games leading up to the playoffs, including a 77-0 stomping of their in-state rivals, the Central Pennsylvania Vipers.

Now, let’s hope Ben Roethlisberger can lead the other professional football team in Pittsburgh to a similar fate.  Heck, after last season’s let-down we’ll settle for a wildcard berth in the playoffs.
