PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh's mayor has modified his last name to honor the Steelers, who are vying for the AFC Championship. Bye-bye Luke Ravenstahl and hello Luke Steelerstahl.

Ravenstahl, er, Steelerstahl said he decided to remove raven from his name just as the Steelers will remove the hated Baltimore Ravens from contention on Sunday.

Ravenstahl made the ceremonious change on Wednesday and will keep it at least through Sunday.

Coincidentally, stahl is German for steel.
