-Hoping and praying for a Pennsylvania Super Bowl-
GO STILLERS!
I share your love for the Steelers, good sir. But I want Arizona to play for the NFC. Too many Lions and Browns fans would hate to see one less team who hasn't made it the Superbowl.
gh: I don't want to burst your bubble. I can not stand the Steelers. I love Foote and Woodley. The rest of them, well... not so much.
No bubble bursted. I am well aware that there are those who do not like the Steelers.
Success breeds contempt. And the Steelers breed ALOT of contempt.
Also, when I said I shared your love for the Steelers, I was referncing Geoff's comment. Sorry for any confusion.
The funny thing was... when I was a kid... I LOVED the steelers. Bradshaw to Lynn Swann in Super Bowl X was my favorite highlight ever.
After Chuck Noll left, I lost my passion for the team.
as far as the Shittsburgh vs Ratbirds game goes...may the stadium implode and only Troy Smith and Santonio Holmes survive
and even in that scenario, ohio_guy, I don't think the bungles or the clowns would be capable of beating the steelers or ravens.
