Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cleveland Browns

Ocean City, Maryland wants to be the next Omaha, Nebraska and wants Ben Roethlisberger to help.

With Peyton Manning retiring and his "Omaha" audible presumably going with him, Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan decided it would be a good idea to send Roethlisberger, Kirk Cousins, Eli Manning and Joe Flacco gifts and invitations to shout out the town's name on game days.

Manning used "Omaha" at the line for reasons he humorously refused to reveal:

In his letter to Roethlisberger, Meehan notes that plenty of Steelers fans visit Ocean City each year, that he sees "Terrible Towels" around town and wants Roethlisberger to remind those Pittsburgh fans of their vacation.

Roethlisberger's gift package included a couple miniature beach volleyballs, a sand bucket and shovel, a container of caramel corn and some plastic cups.

"I hope you take this request into consideration, and know that OCMD is ready to be part of your career long term," part of the letter reads.

All the Pro Days we know the Steelers have been to so far this year

In any case, the cheap, if not also charming move by Ocean City tries to target East Coast signal callers.

It's worth noting that Ocean City has a population of just over 7,000, whereas Omaha's is bigger than Pittsburgh's with 434,353 living there as of 2013. Also, that Omaha is nowhere near the ocean, though it does lie near the banks of the Platte River.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and offensive coordinator Todd Haley were not attempted to be reached for comment. Not even close.
