About

Natalea Waller is not your typical gal. Born and bred in the Steel City, Natalea bleeds black and gold, even for the Pirates. She was fascinated with sports her whole life and was the only girl on the pavement playing football in elementary school.

Besides the intricacies of football, Natalea loved basketball. After being kicked out of ballet for her height, Natalea pursued bball. She played for 16 years, even earning a college scholarship to play at a D2 school in Georgia. She also played softball for eight years as a pitcher and first baseman.

Although no longer living in her beloved Pittsburgh, Natalea has NFL Total Access and Versus to never miss a Steelers or Pens game. She currently teaches Grammar and Composition to middle school kids and reads books in her spare time. I promise she's not as boring as she sounds.

Oh, and she loves the Olympics and Champions League Football.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays was better, but Ruth has a candy bar named for him...

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Dan Marino. He was in Ace Ventura, remember?

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan. He has an excellent brand of shoes, but his attitude has got to go.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky. He's nicknamed "The Great One" for cryin' out loud!

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Maradona just because Pele admitted Maradona was better.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    I'll have to go with Federer. With so many wins and handsome looks, it's an easy choice.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Now that they're tied in tournament wins, I'll go with class over trash: Nicklaus.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    I'm not terribly into NASCAR (actually, not at all), so I'll go with the name I've heard more often: Earnhardt.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    I will be diplomatic and say it's a draw.

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    ACC

    Haha how can a Bengal fan like the Steelers? I certainly do hate the Yankees though.
