How many Iron City's in the last twenty-four hours?
What's the prevailing freeper opinion on this Super Bowl? I'm waiting for the "Pitt plays in HEINZ Field, but Seattle is, well, Seattle" comparisons. So Stupid.
Congrats from a Patriots fan. Now you have to win it. I don't really like Bettis, but Roth has really stepped up in the playoffs this year. Hines Ward is money. Good luck. Enjoy it.
I listened to the game on DVE and that screaming fan was driving me nuts.

In the first half of his professional career, he wrote prolifically, penning pieces for Sports Illustrated and True and the Saturday Evening Post. When the fascinating men of sports -- Muhammad Ali, Howard Cosell, Roberto Clemente -- told their stories, he had the best job imaginable: he sat back and listened.
Before typing his pieces, he spread all his notes across the floor, searching for a way to move beyond that terrifying and great moment when the story existed purely in his mind. He thrived like few other writers of his era. He mastered a style that would later mirror his oral storytelling -- he flowed from scene to scene in his narratives, lovingly riding tangents, as if train-hopping, but always returning to the original direction.

He glanced at the photocopied rosters on his coffee table, then identified an injured Indianapolis player -- Nick Harper, already basted in lowbrow controversy thanks to an incident a day earlier, when his wife allegedly stabbed him in the right knee with a filet knife.
"What a weekend he's having!" Mr. Cope said, plowing on with excitement. "He gets slashed and then he's out of the game in the first quarter. That's worse than my bout with pneumonia. Oh, if I was in the booth ... how much fun I'd have with that.
"People always ask me if I miss it. There was a time last week against Cincinnati when the center snapped the ball wild, and Billy Hillgrove described what happened. And he said it was the [Bengals'] long snapper, Brad St. Louis. And I immediately wanted to yell, 'Brad St. Louis snapped that ball from Cincinnati to St. Louis.' But I couldn't. I wanted to rise to my feet, because that's what I would do in the booth. I wanted to yell about it; I mean, proclaim it! But if I did that now, I'd make a fool of myself in an empty living room. So at those moments, you see, I miss it."

'Brad St. Louis snapped that ball from Cincinnati to St. Louis.' --- that's the Myron stuff that I miss!!
There were some Steeler fans at the Seahawks game too dressed in black and gold. They showed a bunch of them near the end of the game.
defense......... and Carolina didn't have a running back.
Bring on the Seahags!
Be careful what you wish for...
Seriously, it might be a close game, if...if the entire Hawks team has the flu at game time.
Hawks Win 33-21
The betting spread is that the Steelers are favored by 4 points at 11 last night on ESPN.

I was down from 22 last week to about eight this time. Feel a heck of a lot better.
Ahhhh...seems like the hawks have one too. This game is going to be good...but my money is on the hawks.
SEA 38 Pitt 24
The Steelers beat the numbers 1, 2 and 3 teams in the AFC playoffs. They are no joke.
The Seahawks looked great too. I'm looking foreward to an exciting Super Bowl and a close game. Hope it isn't a blowout for either side.
The best team will win the game. The Steelers.
Glad to hear from you....... I thought I was hallucinating.
Her shrieking was sickening, but became a little more tolerable as we got ahead.
;-)
It's going to be a great game...IMHO, the team that scores more points than the other team will most likely end up winning the game.
Seattle scores 38 points........... (Barf Alert)
I like your logical mind!
LOL. That's funny!
