Re: Steelers going to the Super bowl for #7

Looked more like a nefarious crude crew of Raider styled infamy. The team is too good for that. Not making excuses for the Jets, I liked all the teams. Probably pull for the Pack after what I saw today, but if Pittsburgh can play decent, fair and square and superior at the Super Bowl, major congratulations will be in order. For the record, every face-to-face conversation I had about football picked the Steelers & Packers to win. Like I had said and it played out pretty well, all were contenders for a change. Great Championship Games and the champs advance! Hopefully the game will be all game and no f'ing hype.
Rock On & Keep the Faith,
RocketRocket, the thing about the Steelers is, they sometimes do it ugly, they sometimes do it tough, they sometimes do it in spite of themselves, but more than any other team over the years, they usually win. It's all about the results, baby!
And while no team is immune from scandals (Big Ben?), over time the Steelers organization has operated with class and smarts. I won't say they're my favorite team, but I do respect them... and if the Packers are smart, they will too!
For myself, my money's on the Steelers. I think the real Super Bowl was played a couple of weeks ago when the Steelers beat the Ravens.
More than any other team over the years? Wrong-O! Bears, Packers, Giants (and others) have more wins over the years. IF you mean post season, Dallas Cowboys have more. If you mean Super Bowl only, not including pre Super Bowl NFL Championships, OK, no argument possible there. But I will plug my San Francisco 49ers team, the only team in the League not formed pre-WWII and still in top 10 all time wins. And they have not lost a Super Bowl. And up there for number of Super Bowl wins until the Steelers jumped ahead. When they make it there they take it there!
I might remind you youngsters that the Pittsburgh Steelers were the worst (toss a coin for the Saints) team in the NFL for years before the merger and sending them to the AFC. They might've been relegated to the embarrassing fate the Saints (until their recent change of luck) if not for that. But they have rebuilt from those days of course, and have become iconic and grandly historic and famous. To the point people jump the bandwagon. The best TEAM will win the Super Bowl this year, not the best organization (arguments about which organization is better are moot). I wish both good luck, cheer for both, avoid halftime balderdash and keep fingers crossed what may be the last NFL game of 2011 is a doozy!Rock ON & Keep the Faith,
Rocket
As a one-time 49er fan, a fan before most people jumped on the band wagon when the 49er's started winning, I'll give them their propers for winning the Super Bowls. But they were a losing team for a long time before Bill Walsh got there. I know, I was there. Not many 49er's fans know anything before Bill Walsh. Also even with Bill Walsh at the helm, the 49ers have always played in one of the worst if not the worst divisions. And before the realignment, it was only 4 teams in their division. I'll give credit to the Steelers for playing in a very competitive division which makes it harder to get to the playoffs in the first place.

Off to purchase my pork butts for that Carolina pulled pork! Licking my chops already! Our clan gathering will be about 20 or so and we'll be making some noise too.
