Here We Go!
Tampa Florida, here we come, back where Tomlin started from...
Ok, I'm sure that tune will be stuck in my head all day now. And believe me, I'm happy to have it there.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are going to they 7th Super Bowl, in an effort to become the first team in NFL History to obtain a 6th Super Bowl title. That's right. I said it. I know what I said in my last piece. But that was before the Steelers dropped the hammer on the Ravens!
And drop the hammer they did. What a beautiful effort by the Pittsburgh defense last night. Holding the Ravens to a measley 198 total yards offense is an incredible feat.
The game gotta a little too close for comfort when the Ravens pulled within two points in the 4th quarter. But it was Troy Polumalu that dropped the hammer on Raven rookie QB, Joe Flacco. Polumalu's interception and return for a TD was pretty much the game ender. But I suppose you could say it was Tyrone Carter's interception with under two minutes to go that was the final drop of the hammer.
I know the feel good story of the year right now is the Arizona Cardinals, making it to the Super Bowl for the first time. But what you and I should feel good about is the Pittsburgh Steelers not only surviving the toughest schedule in the NFL, but actually getting to the Super Bowl after finishing 12-4 with that toughest schedule in the NFL. Yes, the Cardinals story is a good one. And I couldn't be happier for coach Wisenhunt. But the truth is, the real story is how this Pittsburgh Steeler team looked adversity right in the eyes, and kicked its ass.
It's a beautiful day in the Burgh ladies and gentlemen. Let's enjoy it today. And then move on to the next mission of whipping Arizona and getting that 6th ring!
