Old cliche' but hats off to you over there in Steeler land. How does your team continue to stay competitive all these years? Is it the water you're drinking? Perhaps that cold, mountainous air you're breathing. Except for maybe the 80's, your fine team has continued to exhibit excellence in the NFL. Your team is the epitome of ruggedness, toughness, just overcoming all the obstacles in their way to stay a winner. Now, you are on the verge of another Super Bowl. Think I may see a trend. Simply amazing frosh baby.  

And what is that trend? It's your team's owners-- the Rooneys. From Chuck Knoll to Bill Cowher now to Mike Tomlin, the Rooneys have had the golden hand in picking the right coach for your team. Sure, it wasn't always that way in the beginning. For years and years you suffered through dismal, subpar seasons, but you all never wavered. As far as I know, the Rooneys--particularly granddaddy himself, Art--never threw tantrums and never threatened to move the team unless your city built them a billion-dollar stadium. Class. Class.

You just continued to plug. You continued to plow on and eventually something clicked. Now, if you win this Super Bowl it'll be your sixth... breaking the tie between you Dallas and San Fran. If that happens, I believe you should be the new "Titletown USA", wresting that title away from the Green Bay Packers. Stay fresh.
