In commemoration of his 250th birthday, perhaps?
Siege, you should know how I feel about the Catholic Bishop of Denver being a Steeler fan. He made TWO silly choices. 
Pittsburgh may win today (and they will) or they may lose but there is one thing that they will never do, and that is they will never lose by 45 points in a Super Bowl, nor will they give up the all-time Super Bowl single game rushing record to a second-rate never-was palooka like Timmy Smith.
That is all.
Seriously tho, this is the type of playoff game I want to see for conference champions. All four of these teams were pretty good for most of the year, but really came on strong to close out the regular season on a roll. Plus, all four of these teams play REAL football. Run it, gun it, slam into each other. Skills? Sure they got 'em. But it’s the attitudes that rule the field when these guys play. A great day for true football fans.
May the team scoring the most points win.
I don’t care who wins. I just want to see some good, cleanly officiated football (and please spare us the premeditated celebrations!)
I mean in the AFC game. I’m sure I’ll miss the NFC game, sine it’s on in the evening. It looks like football is going the way of baseball, incrementally moving to prime time for ratings boosts or something. It’s annoying.
It’s on in 15 minutes, and 3 hours after that someone’s season is over.
Enjoy the offseason, Denver fans. With those 2 extra weeks of practice the Broncos might be able to beat the Steelers at golf, because they sure won’t win at football.
I wish I was a Broncos fan just to take on the Steelers fans in a little smack talk, but I think the Steelers will win, and I kind of hope they will.
1st drives: the defense held against the Broncos and the offense danced with death on 2 different plays, but they came out with the tough 3.
3-0 Pittsburgh. I hope the defense can keep it up, because Roethlisberger is throwng some real floaters. He’s gotten away with it twice, but he needs to get his passes down or he’s in for some real trouble.
How do you guys like instant replay now?
I like instant replay very much when they get the call right. This time they got it right, and this was less obvious than the one they blew last week.
This just in: FUMBLE!!! Pittsburgh recovers!
TOUCHDOWN!!!
Awwww yeah… Denver’s in a heap of trouble. 10-0 Pittsburgh.
How long as Johnny Damon been the Broncos quarterback?
TOUCHDOWN!!! 17-3 Steelers!
What’s the stat? Cowher has only lost 1 time with an 11-point lead or more in his entire career?
I’m feeling pretty good about the Steelers’ chances. How are you Borncos fans feeling? 
INTERCEPTION!!! The rout is on, baby!
In my effort to help the team (Steeler’s have been my AFC team since the '70’s, think I may have mentioned that before), I threw $50 in them 4 minutes before the game.
I hope I may have done my part to help them.
Oh, INT! You’re welcome. 
BAM!
Just end the game now and prevent injuries. I’m no Bronco’s sympathizer, but I hate to see an embarrassing showing in a conference title game.
This could get ugly very, very quickly. Snoopy-dance
TOUCHDOWN!!!
Can we put this one to bed yet? The Broncos got jocked on the penalty, and then they got jocked on the pass.
24-3 Pittsburgh. Did the Broncos even show up? This is like playing the JV team from Bob’s Auto Repair and MBAs.
DO NOT LET UP!
The only team that can beat the Steelers today is the Steelers.
It’ll be interesting, because the Denver run defense is all it was cracked up to be, so we won’t be able to simply run it and kill clock in the second half.
But, DO NOT LET UP!
You mean… just like last week? And every other week when Cowher gets a big lead? :rolleyes:
If he goes conservative he will make the game much closer than it really should be. Again, just like last week.
After that -2 yard drive by the Broncos, I don’t think he needs to worry about that. I agree with the not running; Denver coverage has sucked, why change what’s working?
