The Steelers Are 10-0 When This Happens

Our 3rd child Thomas was born on January 13th 2006. His first trip outside was to our sports bar and grill where we watched the Steelers beat the Seahawks to win the Super Bowl.

Our 4th child Bridget was born January 26th 2008. Her first trip out was to watch the Steelers beat the Cardinals in the Super Bowl.

Child number 5, Michael, was born on October 9th 2010. I begged my wife to banish the child to our house for a few months so we could present him at this years SB. That didn’t happen, but now we are thinking every year we have a new baby, that the Steelers will win the Super Bowl.

10-0 when they score more points than the other team.

bad luck as did my SB XL Polamolu jersey. They do not see the light of day during the season anymore. This year, during the play-offs, I have worn my Home Black James Harrison jersey to work and around the streets of Seattle each Friday.

Against the Ravens, we had to record something else on TV so I went to the gym to watch the game. I mentioned this to Michael Bean. I decided to get on the stairmaster and stay on it the entire game with only a few breaks in between quarters for water refills and bio breaks.

In the first half, I was on machine number 3. I went for 101 minutes, walked up 399 floors, travelling 8.31 miles and burned 1155 cals.

I considered just giving up since there was not much hope being down 21-7.

Instead, I switched to machine 1 (right in front of the big screen) and decided to make myself so tired that I’d be too exausted to think much after the game. Kind of take the edge off of losing to the hated Ravens. I decided to set the steps per minute count to 75 summoning Joe Green during the all but commercial breaks where I reduced it to 60.

The change of machine and Joe Green’s 75 seemed to create a spark and, as we all know how things transpired from there… I knew I had to maintain this pace for the remainder of the game lest I be responsible for the Steelers falling short.

The one thought I had just before Ben hit AB on the 3-19 play, was “Please do NOT go into Overtime” Unless of course that was the only way for the Steelers to pull it out. At the time 24-24 with 3-19.. I was thinking pin them deep and maybe get one more shot in the final seconds.

Then he hit AB and I must have yelled quite loudly (had my headphones on listening to the game) as many people gave me dirty looks…

I was jubulant to be sure and the next few minutes were a piece of cake.

I finished with a total of 193 minutes, 713 stories, 15.81 milesm and 2178 calroies burned.

I was mentally and physically drained and seeing as though the TV would be free for the AFCC, I decided to NOT make this a tradition.

Just the James Harrison Jersey like last week.

is 5-0. Will be drinking from it Sunday.

so I can wake up in it on Sunday.

Guiness and my undefeated cap will be utilized throughout the day.

Oh jeeze Steelers…. Superbowl…. 2 days…. 7

Beer Mug- so far in the playoffs its perfect.
My number 43 jersey has lost 4 times this year.
My Harrison Jersey is mostly uncontested. I wore it a couple of times this year and both of them were with wins. And a side note here is that my son wore my jersey so i had to switch to the Harrison. Hmmm…
oh the Steelers are 2-1 when im on the road traveling. Panthers and Browns this year, and Ravens last year.
I wont be watching the game with any Steeler haters. When i went to my brothers inlaws(Redskins fan, but Baltimore native) we lost to the Ravens. Last year on my birthday, Steelers lost to the Bengals. I also watched that game with my buddy(Patriots fans). I also watched this years Steelers vs Patriots with him and they lost. So I’ll will not be watching it with you.
I’ve been wearing my Polamalu jersey all week, so hopefully it has acquired good mojo for a win, because we all know the Packers are so much better

and getting our butts kicked, my buddy realized he had his Harrison jersey on. There was nothing wrong with the defense but offense needed a spark so he ran out and changed to his Ward jersey. The rest is history!

We have to have a Hawaiian pizza and stay away from the one chair in the room that gives off negative vibes. Anyone in the negative chair risks disaster.

We are all doing this, tongue in cheek, but the Terrible Towel I waved during the 95 Super Bowl has only seen the light of day two more times. We lost both times. That towel will never leave the closet as long as I live. Fortunately, like any good Steeler fan, I have plenty of spares.
