The soft chants of “Here we Go… Here we go…Here we go, Steelers, here we go… Pittsburgh’s going to the Super Bowl” are playing in my head as I write this. I am really excited to see the Steelers make it. Heck, in early August, many ‘experts’ didn’t have Pittsburgh making it out of the first round of playoffs. Some people even though Cleveland would win the division (could you be any further off?). Dallas and New England were the overwhelming favorites to win the Super Bowl… at least they made it to the playoffs.

As many of you know, I am currently living in a suburb of Baltimore and it was difficult to watch the Steelers/Ravens game with my Ravens fan uncle. I honestly felt bad when they lost. I got over it though.

I have talked Mari into becoming a Steelers fan. Maybe the Red Sox are next?

Few things I heard when I was back in da Burgh over the holidays.

70% of the Earth is covered with oceans. The other 30% is covered by Troy Polamalu.

Four football fans are standing on a cliff. One is a Steeler fan, one a Patriots fan, one a Browns fan, and one a Cowboys fan. They were trying to prove how loyal they were to their team. The Patriots fan said “This is for my team!” and jumped off the cliff and died. The Cowboys fan did the same, and he also died. The Steelers fan took a deep breath and screamed, “This is for the Steelers!” And he pushed the Browns fan off the cliff.

It should be a good game (not really) and I have faith the Steelers will end up on top.
