Was she not a Steeler fan for the other 5 SBs they won? And it's not like Green Bay had never won a SB before last Sunday.
Sorry to sound snarky, but there are generations of NFL fans in Buffalo, Minnesota and other cities who NEVER saw their team win the big one. Your mother and this gentlemen saw multiple wins for their teams.
And lets not talk about Cub fans!
Yes, she was, and she enjoyed those games very much.

I'm just not clear on what your point is. We won and it was fun, and then we won some more and it was lots of fun, and then the expectation of winning developed, which mentally helps a team to win more and more, and we won more and more and it was tons of fun. And she enjoyed every minute of it, both the good and the bad, for that's the love of life. But if you want me to feel bad (or even less good) because some other team didn't get to win, I just won't do it. Now if you want to confiscate some Super Bowl wins from Dallas or San Fransisco, and those teams agree to give you their Lombardies, well... fine and dandy if it's done of their own free will. But I'll have none of this guilt stuff over winning.
We won, and it was fun. We lost, and it was still fun... just less fun. But I'm happy to read a story about an elderly Packer fan who got to enjoy his team's success. Good for him and good for the Packers.
