Maybe a little of both. But sooner rather than later, "his irresistible Irish-American charm" and his "overwhelming, unstoppable energy" (Donen's phrases) blew away your reservations. For there was always something disarming in the forthright way that Kelly, who was born in Pittsburgh, the third of five children, and worked his way up out of the chorus line to Broadway stardom with his tough, taut performance in 1940's Pal Joey, stated his needs and his aspirations.

Then there's Steeler coach Bill Cowher, who has the full respect and backing of both his players and his community. And the Steelers themselves are a no-nonsense, humble bunch, complete with their own Deion Sanders: Kordell ("Slash") Stewart, their quarterback/wide receiver/halfback.
