I can hardly breathe

I get anxious for 2 events: elections and steeler playoff games.

Public speaking doesn’t phase me, I’m great at taking tests … but before a Steelers playoff game, I am a sweaty, drunken, barely-breathing mess!!

You think this is what they are going to try to rely on in this game? If so, we really need Troy not to be gimpy back there.
