Here we go! Yep, Steelers hold on last night to beat the Jets and head to Dallas to play the Pack in Superbowl 45. You already know all the numbers; appearances, championships, etc. But the only one that really matters is 7. That would be 7 Superbowl wins, the most by any team. Hell, in Pittsburgh success isn't even judged on wins & loses...it's on how many Superbowl rings we have.
That said, I need to apologize for yesterday, and the upcoming two weeks. As a life-long fan of the Steelers, I'm in a position to have both bragging rights & swagger. So I will post and say things that are caustic, and cause friends & acquaintances to cringe. Please don't take it seriously since it is only about a sporting event. It's just hard not to do when you're a Steelers fan.
Also, I will not apologize for blowing up any of the ridiculous shots about how Ben is a rapist. As I have already pointed out to many...accused, convicted, persecuted, and guilty are all very different descriptions attributed to Ben Rothlisberger. Fortunately, the half that describe Ben are more about facts than opinion. Being young, rich, and and a man-ho doesn't make someone a rapist...but it does describe 40% of the NFL & 65% of the NBA. If Michael Vick can comeback from conviction and prison...then we should probably give a break to someone who's only genuine "crime" is being a drunken lout who hangs out with the wrong people in the wrong places. Heck, the NFL was at least as wrong as he was for giving him the 4 games off!
And for the record, the use of the over-used "Steeler Nation" is crap. I'm sorry the Steelers or any of the fans ever started using it. Leave that "nation" noise to the teams that need to convince their fans they matter. From the time I could walk & talk, I was from "Steelers Country"...and still am. In fact, the United States should really be called Steelers Country!! (see, there I go again)
Please do not blame my wife, child, or grandchild for anything I say or do in the next two weeks. I'm Sorry I'm A Steelers Fan.
