You have to hate losing more than you love winning.
I always disliked Eddie George
Completely irrationally, but none the less, I disliked him.

Same. He never really did anything to make me hate him, but his choice to never back down from Ray in those years made me hate him. Ravens-Titans used to be just like Ravens-Steelers. I would love it if Titans were in this division.
You have to hate losing more than you love winning.
I once saw Eddie George walking thru the Promenade in Santa Monica back in 2004…the guy was gigantic. The fact that any man could tackle him alone still amazes me.
breathe in deep feel your heart beat, just to know that life's worth livin'. feel your feet on the earth, better love it while it's still here spinnin'.

Ending Eddie
I think Big Casey Hampton get some due on ending Eddie George career. In the Joe Nedney game, AFC divisional in Jan. 2003 Big Snack blew up a play, knocked Eddie out cold on impact, Eddie was sleeping and lost the ball as he fell to the ground, never the same again!!!

Favorite current Steeler: Lamarr Woodley. This guy is going to be the goods. The funny thing is, hes been a starter 2 years. Increble’
Favorite all-time Steeler: From my days of living, Hines Ward. The definition of a Steeler. Although it will always be Jack Lambert who I think of first when anyone says Pittsburgh Steelers
Best Steeler memory:
A lot would say either of the Superbowls, but on further review, I think that the 2005 AFC Divisional Game versus the Indianapolis Colts was THE game of that playoff run. We took it to the “invincible” Colts that game, and it was a classic.
I would say that was the most satisfying memories, but the Superbowls are forever my favourite days

"Coach Mike Tomlin promised that his Steelers would unleash hell, not look like it." Ed Bouchette PPG
Funny
I was an assistant basketball coach at Robert Morris College in Pittsburgh and our equipment guy landed the same job with the Steelers. He knew I was a big Steelers fan and when they go on the road, they can bring their own help or get guys from the home team. Once he told me that, I was in for sure.
We helped set up the locker room the night before and on game days and during the game we did “ball boy” stuff. I usually shagged punts for Josh Miller and Jeff Reed (both great guys) During the game, I was told to hold Bettis helmet when he was off the field and hold his hat when he was in the game and give it to him as soon as he came off. I LOVED the Bus, he was first class all the way. It was really neat to be around those guys. The Bus would know me today if we ran into each other on the street. At the time (1998) I just had my first born son and of course I got him a toddler 36 Jersey and Bus signed it for him and its been in a ziploc bag ever since. I will be in Canton when he goes into the HOF.
Great memories.

We were going through old photos and sentimental items together, and drinking martinis like water, and watching Ben pull out a tough one. My dad said, “he (Ben) might just be the real deal.” We should all be so lucky to have the Steelers win at our wake.

The Ravens became a team in what, 96? So you were 8. What’d you do for the first 8 years of your life? Oh let me guess “I wasn’t a fan of anyone because I live in Baltimore so I will only root for Baltimore teams.” Yeah, I am sure you’d be singing the same tune if the Ravens had never became a team. Spare me the “you can only be a team if you are from that city” bull crap. Especially, on a blog full of fanatics who clearly did not just start watching football.

The Steelers had never won a divisional title. They were the perrenial underdog… like my home town football team, so I had to cheer for them. I usually cheer for the underdog but I am not going to quit cheering for them just because they started winning.

Well
my Great Grandpa went to school at West Virginia, played on the football team back in 1902. Lived in Huntington and decided to watch the Pirates. My Grandpa watched the Pirates and so did my Dad. And in 72 (I think, maybe ealier.) my Dad got hooked on the Steelers. I think my Grandpa moved down here after WW II
I getting tired of saying this: Dick LeBeau’s system is so complex very few rookies can make an impact.
Hated the cowgirls in the 70's
and Idaho doesn’t have a Football team. Broncos are the closest, but I hated Elway too. I made a bet with a cowboy’s fan on Superbowl 13. Didn’t know who the Steelers were, but I hated this kid and his cowboys so I bet him $10. I was ten years old at the time and in 1979 $10 buck was a lot of money to a ten year old. The amazing thing was that the kid paid and I’ve been a fan ever since! Best bet I ever made.

You may remember Arn, the city was in an uproar after Ray Seals cousin was murdered?
you know, DWB, and guy was killed by the police. The kids were just surprising people everywhere. They asked me whats up, seemed to be cool, and then next thing I know, 2 shots to the face, and then they took off. It was all I could do to not smash back with my skateboard, but I’m not a violent one. :/ I figured it was karma and left it alone.
I remember when that happened
I witnessed a lot of other racially charged moments in Pittsburgh as well. I will reserve my thoughts on the SW Pa. area because I get in fights with my own family over it all the time. Anyhow… I was never one to be a part of it (racially charged incidents).
As I said before, I was victim of plenty of that stuff in SW Ohio as a kid and vowed not to allow it to make me bitter or even be the agressor when I moved to D.C. and was in a majority.
Also, I am sorry to hear that a couple ignorant people chose to show their ignorance by thinking you were part of the problem when they in fact are part of the problem. That was not karma…..unless you tell racist jokes! just kidding…..wait maybe not….

Did you play football: yes, four years at Lebanon Valley College
What postion: Defensive Tackle
Dream position: Fullback
Favorite current Steeler: Casey Hampton, Jeff Reed
Favorite all time Steeler: Jack Ham
Best Steeler memory: Alot of them….being at IR game was unforgettable, but have to go with watching ’74 AFCCG….most signficant win in Steeler history
Worst Memory: Being in the stands at the Fog Bowl game in Foxboro….spewed my hatred of the New England Patriots and their fans. Nothing at all to cheer about that day
Jack Ham
I loved Lambert and some of the other great Steeler LBs, of course, but if you watch film of #59, you’re gonna see a guy who nearly always was in exactly the right position to make the play. He absolutely destroyed sweep plays on his side. Ham was the closest to being the perfect LB of any player I’ve seen. And this is taking nothing away from the great Jack Lambert.
Ham...
Never outta position, don’t remember him ever missing a tackle…..exceptional in pass coverage. Most technically proficient linebacker
No doubt Ham was great
and probably better overall than Lambert but to me Lambert just epitomizes Steeler football.
Not to forget Russell
IIRC Russell was the older of that trio of LBs. I wonder how much of an effect playing with him had on the development of the other two. Was there any mentoring going on?

Can't forget anyone on that defense or team for that matter
White, Holmes, Greene, Greenwood, Russell, Ham, Lambert, Blount, Wagner, Edwards(later Shell), Thomas(maybe not as well known but still good). Gives me goosebumps just looking at that line-up, flip the coin and do the same thing with the offense and it just makes you go, man, what a great team.
Hampton and Reed
Two odd choices Swiss. Both up in FA, that sucks. Hope we sign both for ya.

She was hot too.
I take it you have quite the colleciton of homer laughlin seconds?
My house is full of fiesta seconds- every color of the rainbow. Its quite a sight. (and entire set prolly less than 50 bucks)
fave players
I’m not big on fave players, but I there are a few highlights with these guys:
*Hampton…..his sack in SBXL, where he flicked the Seatttle o-lineman aside with one arm like the guy was a flea. Then, his sack of Matt Cassell in ’08, after he had been flagged for holding. His reaction to the sack was exactly the same as his reaction to the hold.
*Wasn’t so much Skippy, but Tomlin saying, after the Baltimore OT game ‘of ’08, about Skippy…"You can’t freeze a psychopath." Other than the Chicago game last year, guy’s been money throughout his career.
I remember the Hampton sack
you nailed it, back to back plays. love big snack, hope like hell he stays.

It was snowing like crazy in Pittsburgh
for a while that night after the game. I took a ton of pictures. Will have to see if I can get a gallery on here somehow.
One of the funny parts was people falling down all around the place after they cleared the streets. I saved one dude from biting the dust and he kept huggin’ on me and thanking me! Felt bad for this one girl. She bit the dust hard on one of the back streets and hurt her back real bad. They couldn’t move her and it was freezing outside. Not sure how that turned out for her.
That was also the weekend that the guy in the room across the hall from us in the hotel killed himself. True story.

another great part to the story: I traveled to Pittsburgh with 3 other dudes. We watched the game at Jack’s on Carson Street.

Apparently, his buddy was at Jack’s too and took a bunch of pix.

+1
on the people falling down. We walked up to one street corner, started talking to somebody in a small crowd and just bit the pavement on a nasty patch of ice. We got up and stood there getting snow off us when the next person fell. We ended up standing there laughing as drunk people fell, and trying to warn people that shouldn’t fall about the ice.

Remember, I’ve only been a football fan since the end of last year… But back in the dark days (say, two + years ago) when I didn’t understand football, I saw a bit of a game in which Troy actually more or less jumped over three guys coming at him. I was so impressed – that really caught my attention and helped me realize that football was about athleticism rather than just pounding people. I expect that some of you are wondering “what’s wrong with just pounding people?” I can’t explain…

Favorite all-time Steeler: Rod Woodson
Best Steeler memory: Hines Ward blowing up Ray Lewis on a block. Caught him in the ear and sprung Bettis, it was beautiful, I loved that play. My other favorite is Lloyd putting Favre on pain killers. I watched that game and was jumping up and down when he Bounced three yards on the turf. I have this uncontrollable hatred of most QB’s.

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." - Winston Churchill
Since Arn's answer is a bit cryptic
I’ll tell you what his 2nd statement (the No, religion is man-made) means to me, since I endorse it as well. (I’m not presuming to speak for Arn…) There are a multiplicity of religions, since mankind seems determined to create them, and all of them are to one extent or another a method or system of doing enough things, in the prescribed way, to placate the god or gods that one is most worried about. In other words, it is a way that you can work yourself into whatever constitutes heaven in your system, even, if like most of the Buddhist sects, for instance, heaven is essentially non-being. By contrast, I believe that God made a way that screwed-up people like me can meet with him. It’s nothing I can do – it’s all about what he did. No religious system or belief, mine included, can be absolutely proven in a “scientific” fashion. Then again, neither can many “scientific” propositions, including the philosophical belief that a true picture of the universe can be obtained through scientific methods. One can only look for a preponderance of evidence. I hope that helps…

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." - Winston Churchill
By that sentiment would it not discredit the Bible
as the Bible is part of the man-made religion of Christianity? It doesn’t seem to make apparent sense to me to say that religion is man-made (which I understand perfectly) and then use the Bible, the most man-made part of the religion? Compiled and edited by a bunch of romans after Christ was dead
No it doesn't

I fail to understand how a man-made religion's book is not man-made, when it was written by man
I’ll wait for the momma unabridged version
You fail to understand....yes
And that is the problem because you assume the rest
"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." - Winston Churchill
I'm using your own words, but at this point it seems like an excersize purely in semantics.
You say religion is man-made. Christianity is indeed a religion, so by that logic, it is man-made. The “guide” if you will, to Christianity, the religion, is the Bible. Written by man, compiled by men, edited by men. So how is the Bible not man-made, considering the fact its a main part of a man-made religion?
You may be using my words
but you are not doing it correctly. Your assumption speaks loud and clear. It’s not my job to convince you.

Just in the same that Religion causes violence. The only difference is that religious violence is on a scale so large it looks like Shaq standing next to an ant.

An institution of religion, and religious institutions. Religious institutions are man-made.
How scripture and texts are used and appreciated is important to understand so as to not fall in with the those who misuse or misinterpret.

The Bible and religion are different, Religion is a set of social guidelines and rules, the Bible is a religious text. Religion can be based on the Bible, but the Bible and religion are separate.
Just like religious faith and religion are different, to believe in a god does not require following someone’s interpretation of what that god wants you to do.
It all depends
on whether you define “Christianity” as a relationship or a religion – or, perhaps more accurately, whether one’s personal version of Christianity is a relationship or a set of stuff to do. A religious structure has been built onto the basics – people can’t seem to help themselves. But one doesn’t have to subscribe to that structure to believe in the basics.
The Bible is in a different category, IF it is correct in what it says about itself. Either it is true or it isn’t – the claims it makes are too definite to allow for much middle ground. If it is true, it isn’t part of the religious system, because it is directly inspired by God. If it isn’t, it’s not worth the paper it’s printed on, unless you are a fan of rather dreary mythology punctuated with stories about a bunch of unsatisfactory people.

I view Christianity as a religion, a set of things you must do in order to get into the pearly white gates,
although I do know many people who consider it merely a relationship with God. I’ve read many pieces supposing that the Bible is merely just a piece of literature with astrological signs and parallels. It seems rather convincing when you compare the figure of Christ to other figures of his statures throughout other religions hundreds of thousands of years before his story was even thought up. The being born on Dec 25th to a virgin mother and the three kings etc etc are all evident in many other religious figures’ history
That settles it I guess huh?
"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." - Winston Churchill
Not so much
as young as I am, it’d be ridiculous to assume I have all the answers, so why not attempt to hear other’s points of views while sharing my own? Maybe I’ll teach someone else something they didn’t know
no harm in that
"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." - Winston Churchill
One can never find
a 100% certain answer. If you could, there would be no debate about it, and belief would not be a matter of choice but of necessity. I think that if you maintain an open mind, and actually want to find an answer, you can find enough of one to make a reasoned decision.
After all, if you have two directly contradictory theories then there are only 2 possibilities – one of them is right, or neither of them are right. Given that the vast population of man throughout the ages has believed in some sort of supreme deity, even when it was very dangerous to do so, it seems worth keeping an open mind…

Looks like you didn't
"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." - Winston Churchill
Well, actually there weren't religions
hundreds of thousands of years before the Bible began to be written, because I believe it is fairly well established anthropologically that evidence of religious practices only began appearing somewhere around fifty thousand years ago, and writing of any kind only started appearing definitely less than ten thousand years ago (depending on what you count as writing.) Yes, there are other versions of the Christian story, but the Christian version has a fair amount of verifiable history behind it. And yes, the Epic of Gilgamesh has certain similarities to the books of Moses, but there are even more significant differences.
I don’t know that this is the place for a study of comparative religion, so I’ll just admit that if the basic premise of Christianity (man screwed things up, God made them right) doesn’t resonate with you, then the details are never going to make sense. I also want to say that if some Christian or other has been really hurtful to you, I’m very sorry. (Not that I’m implying that’s the case, just that it frequently happens. Christians are still humans, some worse than others, and Lord knows a lot of appalling things have been said and done in the name of Christ…)

The reason dates overlap is new religions simply take the dates of other religions and replace them when they convert people. Our current calendar of christian holidays is a rehash of other holidays with different explanations. True Biblical Holidays are found in the Old Testament when God kept telling the Israelites to have parties and the Israelites didn’t want to.
Almost everything contains some truth, different perspectives on a similar or single event will lead to very different historical accounts that then evolve through an oral tradition of storytellers and soon you end up with very different sounding stories about a similar or single event.

The father replies, "Well, you see that 3 pack? That’s for when you’re in high school. You have 2 for Friday and one for Saturday.
“What’s the 6 pack for?” The father replies, “well that’s for when you are in college. You have 2 for Friday night, 2 for Saturday night and 2 for Sunday morning.”
“What’s the 12 pack for?” the son asks. “That’s for when you’re married,” the father tells him. “you have 1 for January, 1 for February, 1 for March…..”

I think part of the secret was that I embarrassed my kids in public (mostly by being myself) on a regular basis when they were small, so that they were used to it when they were teenagers and didn’t mind being seen with me…

Which brings up another good
acrollet story. We had a storage room with a padlock on it, and that’s where I kept the chocolate chips, because otherwise I would never have any when baking time rolled around. The kids confessed in later years that they would take the door off the hinges, get in, get a small handful of chocolate chips (because they figured I would notice if they took too many,) and put the door back on. I think that displays good critical thinking skills all around, and the ingenuity that they developed has served them well. So in other words, don’t bet the ranch that it will protect the good stuff…

Best Steeler memory: 1) Shouting PICK SIX to a Cardinal fan right before it happened in SB XL III when he was shouting TD CARDS. Then having 35 people stare at me as I yelled SILVERBACK, GO, RUN, getting 30 inches of vertical at the same time as shedding some serious man tears<> 2.) Watching the Steelers beat Baltimore/Dallas…always a pleasure. 3.) Watching the 70s team play in Three RIvers. 4.) Meeting Steelers fans across the continent no matter where I go.
Worst Steeler Memory: 1.) Watching Woodson leave in Free Agency – dumbest move ever. 2.) Most of the 80s. 3.) Neil O’Donnell’s chundering 1995 SB away. 4.) The 4th quarter defense this year.

Favorite current Steeler: The Defense (2009 notwithstanding)
Favorite all-time Steeler: Jack Lambert
Best Steeler memory: The drive home with my step-dad in 1978 after the Steelers beat his team, the Bills, in Buffalo. The whole ride home all I could talk about was that “yellow and black team.”
“Hey dad, that yellow and black team was awesome, huh, dad?”
“No, son, they they’re not. They got lucky today.”
“Nuh-uh, dad, they were super fast and big too. Ferguson couldn’t do anything today.” We’re Bills fans son."
“Not anymore, dad!”
NOT EVER AGAIN! It got even sweeter when I learned I was from about an hour+ from the ’burgh! And later moved back to the Penn-Ohio line and met—and still have a great relationship with—my “real” dad… a BROWNS fan. My poor dads!

I don't know about you, but
whenever I see an insanely hot young girl, I always feel like a creepy old man by looking. You just can’t tell these days.
One of my old co-workers has a daughter who’s 14, and she looks like any college girl. I’m just glad I’m married so I don’t have to worry about picking up on underage chicks by mistake…

I am around teenagers so much I can tell
I pretty much think of them as future mothers and wives. I feel a duty to set an example of what they should expect from a man. When I look at it that way…I picture them as daughters or sisters. For some reason that doesn’t translate to women on TV.
"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." - Winston Churchill
Now that I have a son
thinking of them as my daughter helps alot.

I think that the mothers that dress their daughters up as sluts
should be prosecuted. And for that matter, the clothes manufacturers that are making stuff that looks like you could wear it to your Future Streetwalkers of America meeting – for 8 year olds! – should be shot. Yes, I know they would claim that they are making what people want, but if that’s about all you can find, what are you supposed to do?

Yes, I do.
If a woman doesn’t respect herself, why should she expect a man to respect her? But at least she presumably knows what she’s doing. How much worse is it to dress one’s daughter that way (or allow her to dress that way), when she is too young to understand what she is saying about herself.
And no, I don’t excuse rape under any circumstances. But if you don’t want to get eaten by sharks, then it only makes sense to not drape yourself in bait.

the only South Park stuff I know is the excerpted routines that my kids used to do – they were particularly fond of the Home School one. I’m afraid I haven’t had a TV since about 1979. When I became a steelers fan I had to buy a thingy to hook up to my computer. That’s why I miss so many of the joke references…

Better late than never
Time and patience has been at an all-time low recently but the rebound has begun! What a fun thread! Ok, here goes:
Name: Annette
Age: 45
Occupation: Veterinary Practice Manager
Location: Nashville (currently)
Didn’t play football… (obvious reasons) and wasn’t into the Powder Puff thing. Softball, volleyball, tennis and racquetball were my athletics.
Dream Position: Loaded question. I’m taking the 5th thanks.
Favorite Current Steeler: Heath (Offense) Everyone (Defense)
Favorite All-Time Steeler: Rocky Blier (courage, courage, courage)
Best Steeler Memory: I’ll never forget Jerome Bettis after losing the AFCC (Hines crying because he really wanted so badly to see Jerome get a shot at a SB) and KNOWING that if he comes back, it will be with a substantial pay-cut and very limited on-field play situations…… yet…. He wanted that ring and he knew it was Pittsburgh that was going to be where it would happen. He put his ego on the back burner and came back. His actions typify what being a Steeler is about to me. Team first; individuals a distant second. I couldn’t have been happier to see Jerome holding the Lombardi up in Detroit.
When the tailgate drops, the BS stops. Shut up and play!
I can still “see” the pride and gratification Jerome had, when he held up that trophy in his hometown.
Noticed you were missing. Hope you got to visit with your son.
Took my first ride on a mountain bike through a trail in the woods the other day, sheer fun! Do yourself a favor, try it!
Was a proud moment for everyone
I’m always glad to see hard work and determination be rewarded. That whole team worked their butts off getting to Detroit; and I believe wholeheartedly that they wanted it for Jerome as much as they wanted it for themselves.
Unfortunately I haven’t seen my son in person just yet, but it’s all good. He’s home and doing well!
When the tailgate drops, the BS stops. Shut up and play!
Nashville is a nice town
I know random, but I go through there a lot. The “Batman building” seems to be the signature in Nashville’s skyline. Random part 2.
"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." - Winston Churchill
Yes it does kind of stand out
but… while the view coming into Pittsburgh through the Ft. Pitt tunnel is breath-taking (truly a city with a grand entrance) somehow I can’t get the song from “Deliverance” out of my head when coming into Nashville. < shiver > Not quite the same effect. It’s a nice place though.

Now the Steeler Specific question
Favorite current Steeler: Woodley
Favorite all-time Steeler: Bettis
Best Steeler memory:
There are so many but I’ll take the one that popped in my head first: Bettis plowing over Urlacher in the driving snow for a touchdown. The first of many must wins in 2005.
I was born in Beckley, WV in ‘71 so the Steelers were definitely the team to root for. My older brother helped me out as I was pretty young for their first Super Bowl victory but remember Super Bowl XIII and XIV pretty well. I’ve been a big fan every since.
The 80’s were a rough decade…boy did I get sick of seeing the 49’ers. Thank goodness for Louis Lipps! I watched what seems like a thousand 6-3 (final score) AFC Central games when I could… depending on if we could move the antenna on top of the house to get a decent reception. I loved the ’89 season…except of course for the heartbreak of the Broncos loss.
I’m a big Cowher fan and love what he did with the team during his stay. I miss him…there, I said it. Too many awesome players to list and grea
