That's right, the majority of Americans are wrong, but a handful of Pittsburgh fans are the "informed" ones.

You're almost right there.

Just as most American citizens are relatively ignorant of what is really happening in the political world, most viewers of the Super Bowl are relatively ignorant about what is really happening on the field. The "informed" ones (as you sarcastically write) are not just in Pittsburgh, however some of us do feel a greater need to set you and the rest of the uninformed straight.

Tough baloney, Pittsburgh won a pretty ugly Super Bowl, but the great teams win games even when they are playing below par.

But you didn't answer my question about elitism.

I think most would agree both teams played below their best football. I don't take issue to a team losing by being outplayed...too bad that wasn't the case in this game.

But the fact is, the game is history...weak play and horrific officiating notwithstanding. But don't expect the world to believe the Steelers won the game on their merits...it's simply not true. I wish you luck on defending the crown...going to be tough in the AFC. Seahawks apparently have another weak schedule from what I've read.

I am going to remember all the jackasses who pissed on the Steelers victory. When their favorite team wins or loses I will be right there on their thread either telling them how much their team deserved to lose when they won, or, better yet, there to rub salt in their wounds when their team loses.

Some of them are baseball and hockey fans. We have a lot of chances to piss on them.

But they can't cange the fact that the Steelers won, no matter how much they hate the Steelers. Five Super Bowl wins and only one loss. Who can match that? Not the Cowboys. How many did SF lose? The Pats have won four, not five.

So let them keep their snide talk going. Jealousy is the most sincere form of flattery.

Seattle's mayor sure did pay up on his bet with Bob O'Connor fast. I don't know what Pittsburgh is going to do with all this Washington state wine.

...but where's the salmon?

For a team that was 7-5 in November and only the sixth-best in the AFC, you boys sure fancy yourselves.

Part of the vilification you see against your team is due to the boorishness of the Steeler representatives on FR.

Just thought you ought to know that.
