That would make my year to see them win convincingly. We've been so close for so many years. Not as close as the Bills of the 90's, but, that's another thread. LOL

True.

Another anecdote, from a few years back: Polamalu asks USC teammate Alex Holmes for permission to take out his sister, Theodora. Holmes wouldn't let anyone else on the team talk to Theodora, let alone date her. But he tells Polamalu, ``Of course. Nothing could make me happier.'' Holmes accedes because Polamalu ``is such an exceptional person.''

That's a very nice part of the article. From the one time I met him and from all the other interviews I've seen of Troy over the time he's been here in Pittsburgh, he's a gem of a human being........... a real beautiful and gentle spirit!

Troy said, My hair is my name."

And he's right, but not altogether. Even without the hair, he'd be easy to identify on the field because of the way he moves. That feline balletic grace is his hallmark. Can't call him a lion or tiger for legal reasons, but he is. He's like watching some National Geographic special.

There is a first time for everything. Maybe it is the buzzards turn. Maybe not. We'll see, won't we?

I brought my Terrible Towel with me from Pittsburgh when I moved here years ago. It seems, you can always find a group of Steeler fans wherever you go. Connecticut was no exception. Steeler fans are everywhere!

As a resident of liberal Seattle, I must root for Carolina for political reasons. Red staters rule!

Using that criteria, we would all be Cowboy or Falcons fans. LOL

I think if the vote were restricted to NFL season ticket holders only, the Republicans would get a 90% majority every election --- even in the People's Republic of Seattle.

It's kind of a red state sport, where ever it's played.

Steeler fans are everywhere!

and Steeler haters are everywhere too. Really... fans get tired of seeing the same playoff teams, year after year. Like, is anybody (except people from those states) upset that Green Bay or Buffalo, or New England are out of the playoffs?! I don't think so! eh

Our hate decreased somewhat after 7 retired.


I dont know. On the other hand,, I guess Pittsburgh reping the AFC in the super bowl wouldnt be that bad.. Bill Cowher was once a Cleveland Brown you know ? ..

Polamulu does not equal Champ Bailey and John Lynch



He doesn't equal Eugene Wilson
