One for the Thumb!!

The AFC Champions the Pittsburgh Steelers are bringing The Bus home to the Motor City! For the first time in NFL history, a wild card team has defeated the number three, number two, and number one seed in the play-offs! Who do you think is going to win the Super Bowl against the weaker NFC? Do you have any doubt from the team that defeated “the best team in the NFL” (Colts,) and defeated what was suppose to be a close game by twice their opponents score? I have none. Bring it on. One for the thumb!!

Update: BTW, good luck trying to order your AFC Champ’s shirt at Steelers.com. The site is getting hammered like the Broncos offense right now. :)

Update 2: The site has just put up a number for you to call. But I’ve been letting it ring for over a minute now (not even a recording comes on) and it’s still ringing. But, give it a try and call 1-800-Team-Tuf (1-800-832-6883).

Wait, got a recording. They’re open ’til 5 PM (no EST or PST.) Well, I’m on hold listening to “Bridge Over Troubled Water”. Maybe I’ll get someone…

    and to think, how many times did you give up on the Steelers this year??? :) Congrats

  2. Sven Says:

    Yup, you’re right, I did. In the extremely tough AFC, I didn’t think they had a chance mid-season and boy was I wrong.

    Thank you, Brian, for tapping and FedEx’ing me all those games. I really appreciate it!

    I am just glad that I never gave up on them and they are not even my team :)

    You are welcome for the tapes. Did you need yesterday’s game or did you watch it?

    LOL, well you are a Vikings fan and there are more ups-and-downs with them then with the Steelers. Usually when the Steelers head down, they stay down. So I didn’t have too much “practice” with this. :lol:

    No need for the tape, I got cable for a month so I could watch it and the Super Bowl. I had a feeling it was a game I wanted to see. :)
