Bret Michaels Of Poison Is Very Fired Up About The NFL Draft For Some Reason

Bret Michaels is a lot of things. He's the frontman of ‘80s glam metal band Poison. He’s a reality TV star with his Rock of Love and a win on The Celebrity Apprentice. He could also very well be your father without your realizing it if your mom was a big Poison fan back in the day (hey, better him than CC Deville though).

And Michaels is a massive Pittsburgh Steelers fan.

He's also one of the few singers from that era who can still belt out tunes as well as he did in the ‘80s, unlike certain people *cough*Vince Neil*cough*, but let’s focus on his love of the Steelers shall we?

Michaels hails from Pennsylvania and you've got to think that's where he came to be a Steelers fan (fun fact, guitarist Richie Kotzen who played with Poison in the ‘90s is a big Philadelphia Eagles fan. That’d be a fun tour bus during football season), and, like a true fan, he doesn't rest during the offseason.

No, in fact, he's incredibly fired up for the NFL Draft. He snagged a Terrible Towel and threw on his signature bandanna (I wonder if he ever mixed up the two) and made it known that he was ready for Draft Day.

Whoa. The Draft is like "Christmas Day meets New Year's Eve with a Thanksgiving kicker" you say, Brett? 

Holy cow, then the season opener must feel like trick or treating on a roller coaster times a thousand birthdays.

So, we know Michaels is a real fan (or at the very least owns a Terrible Towel), but now the real question: is he a Russell Wilson guy, a Justin Fields guy, or neither?

I feel like he'd have some very strong thoughts one way to another or would just be cool with whatever, man.

Michaels' Steelers made a surprise run to the postseason last year and overhauled their QB room in the early offseason with the aforementioned Wilson and Fields. They'll be picking 20th in the first round.
