Super Bowl? I'm for the Steelers

Saturday January 31, 2009

Categories: Culture

I hear there's a football game tomorrow, and a team I hadn't thought about for a few years, the Pittsburgh Steelers, are playing. Hooray, say I! I do like that quarterback of theirs, the Bradshaw boy, and am confident that he and Franco Harris will carry the day. Somebody please let me know how the match turns out, as I haven't been able to gin up much interest in this sort of thing since I was 10 years old.

Heh (he said, Jackie Harveyishly).

Thanks, Epiphany.
I hope to live to post for at least a couple hundred years more.
It might be interesting to see Super Bowl CCXLIII.
Steelers should have over 20 titles by then.
(Worldwide financial collapse might just hinder that, though.)
6 is just a warmup.

punt pass kick faith hope love joy peace to all...
(eternity has no purpose)...
Go Patriots!

You may want to get your kids #43 jerseys. Ann Rodgers in today's Post-Gazette describes the Orthodox world's growing awareness of a celebrity of their own.

I should have know that you weren't cheering for the Cardinals. You're still mad that Cardinal Law got St. Mary Major instead of jail. But don't let that jade you to the wider team of the Cardinals. The Princes of the Church got the raw end of the Super Bowl, but they still get to elect the pope. :)

Frequently heard at the SuperBowl party I attended last night:

"Eis Polamalu eti, Dhespota!"

Heck Rod, I figured you'd be all over the Kurt Warner bandwagon. He's a certified member of the "God Squad," by which I mean somebody who achieves fame and success due to a combination of talent and hard work, then goes attributing their success to God every time somebody sticks a mic in their face.

Actually, I think Kurts got a lot better about the God Squad stuff since his Rams days, but he was so annoying back then I still can't root for him.

Heck of a game!
