Being shallow has nothing to do with the HATRED i have for that team but i guess if you didnt happen live during the 70s,you wouldnt understand,imo
I lived through those Steeler years and two SB defeats. Both of those SB loss's really coulda' went either way, they were that close.
And I lived in PA as well. I was born there in 1960 and moved out in 1979, so I actually LIVED it too.
But I don't "hate" the Steelers. I didn't like it ONE BIT back then, but as time went by, I grew to appreciate and admire that team and run they put together back then under Chuck Knoll, Bradshaw, Lambert, etc..........no hot dogs, no show offs, no "me first" guys.
You had to respect them, because they weren't "imposters". They we're the real deal.
The Niner's, now THERE'S your "imposters". They played in a division during their "run" that at the time was the Whiners, the Rams, Saints and Falcons. For over a decade, the other three teams averaged (I haven't looked it up here, just reminiscing) maybe 8 wins between them every year. So the momentum and rhythm and wins for a bye week were automatic every year.
I know the Niners aren't close now, but this is with regard to the posters who are concerned about the 5 ring thing, so the conversations revolves around Dallas, Pittsburgh and the Whiners. And the Whiners are the least worthy, by far, to be in this club.
I too could care less if the Steelers get their 6th and are now alone at the top of SB Trophy's. The Cowboy-Steeler thing is more "rivalrous" because Pittsburgh got two at the hands of our Cowboys, and the Cowboys got some revenge under Barry Switzer by beating the Steelers for our latest trophy.
The No. 1 priority in these playoffs, by a mile, is the Eagles losing again. It's written down somewhere that the Eagles MUST always lose whatever their last game of every year is!!! It is of utmost importance for the balance of the universe that the Eagles NEVER win a SB Trophy.
They've already listed what happened last weekend as one of the greatest, top 5 moments in Beagle history. And that's a good thing, because it's the best if ever gets for them. A regular season-ending defeat over Dallas. It's their greatest triumphs, and that's what you get when you'll NEVER WIN A RING!! One of the most wonderful traditions in the NFL is watching McNubb and the rest of the team walking off of a field, heads down, dejected and defeated AGAIN...................and again and again and again, year after year after year after decade after decade after decade.
I despise the Eagles more than anything or anyone in all of sports. I despise McNubb. I despise their crappy green uniforms. Their city. Their fans. All of it. There's NOTHING good, decent or redeemable about the entire ball of wax.
GO VIKINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
