(almost) Live Steeler Updates #2

Yinzers,

Late this afternoon a report came from North Texas , Mike Tomlin reported that M. Pouncy and Aron Smith would not be ruled out for Super Bowl 45. A few hours later the report came out from ESPN that both players were ruled ineligible. ( Pictured above Casey Hampton Is eligible and Hungry)

From the Steelers point of view , they will go to work with as many able bodies that it is necessary to get the job done. Back ups will do their job because that is what they do. It's the Steeler way. The Blue collar way. The winning way.

Troy Polamalu has just been named the AP defensive player of the year. Please let me know whom else was on this list? Oh that's right no-one that matters.

(almost) live Steelers Updates #1

Yinzers,

Dahn-Town Pittsburgh is Going nuts.Apparently the Steelers are in the Super Bowl. This picture was sent to me From Colleen Brognano live in the Strip district just about 35 hours ago. Apparently Transformers are real, as you can see in the picture above this 1993 thunder bird was getting ready to Transform into a 10 foot tall Steeler Robot. Amazing what the kids at Carnegie Mellon can do these days.

Live (almost) on the Scene ( 5 states away) .

MSM Live( almost live ) Super Bowl week Coverage!

YINzers,

Sorry for yelling, The steelers are leaving for North Texas in about an hour. I am sure that local news in the burgh' is just going nuts with every bit of useless knowledge available. To be completely honest it is a little much, but I love it. I mean whom doesn't want to read about Keisel brushing his beard twice daily. Or that Ben has never called that girl back from Milledgeville. I mean this is coverage I can't live with.

So there is no real bad blood between the Steelers and the Packers. These two franchises mirror each other right down to not having cheerleaders present at games. Packer Backers are probably the second toughest fans in the NFL. Cold weather, little to do in town , Football is number one sounds kind of familiar. The MSM Will be giving you the most up to date coverage this whole week.

Buckle up , just like Texas this coverage is going to be BIG!

Here we GO!

Underdogs,Super Steelers and the Death Star.....

Yinzers,

The Steelers are heading to the Super Bowl. After the last few weeks I have had, this brings me great joy. There is allot more going on in my life because of the Super Bowl and the Steelers, for instance the Ability to pick up the phone and talk to people I have not heard from in weeks or months or years for that matter. The Steelers have done allot for me off the Field than you could ever know.

When I first started watching the Steelers with a Legitimate group of Die hards, it happened when I was in St. Louis Missouri. A few of us started watching the Games at a local bar, and we were thrown out. ( because of me loosing it during Big Ben's Rookie start).So then the Magic happened we found a bigger bar that 4 of us could go to and watch the Steelers consistently. The Bar manager and I became great friends and so did the wait staff. By the end of our 4.5 year run at St Louis all Star cafe we all had become Life Long friends.The four of us that started going there became more like 30 in the end. Out of the original group I still talk to about 15 people on a monthly basis. Without the Steelers bringing us together, I would have missed out on allot of life long friends.

This Steeler Nation is really about the fans, watching the steelers gives us a reason to watch and get together for almost 1/3rd of the year. The Steelers also give you a sence of community, I can't tell you how many times at work I can talk to a fellow yinzer by spotting his tshirt or hat. The Steelers as a whole give you a sence of pride and history that you are a part of. In this very fast moving world I can see a group of people that are honest, hard working and very proud of the town that they grew up in.

UNDERDOGS:
Once again going into this super Bowl we are underdogs, how I really don't know. We were 12-4 , won our division title and our Conference title. #1 defense in the league etc. etc. etc. The Green Bay Packers came in as a 6th seed in a depleted NFC. Someone whom is not a Steelers fan explain this to me. Maybe I am missing the point? Maybe I am not.
The media outside of Pittsburgh really has something against the Sports in our city. They think that we have some sense of entitlement or arrogance for producing winning teams over and over again. The bottom line to the media, it doesn't matter what you think or what you say, Pittsburgh does things the right way.( Pirates excluded)

Death Star:
I have heard the Death Star reference a dozen times in the last 3 days comparing the new Texas stadium to the once non blown up Death Star. That would make Jerry Jones, the emperor ha. I think that it is quite rewarding in some sick sense that The Hated Cowboys are hosting our Super Bowl. Once again they are flashy, all about image and themselves and once again the Steelers are just showing up for work, not saying anything etc. So I ask another question after all these years of watching these two franchises whom is Americas team.
It's a pretty good day when your Hair dresser( Chrissy) can tell you I told you so when she predicted from the begining of the season that the Steelers would be stomping on that big star in Dallas. Touche' Chris,Touche'

I know there is alot to come this week with speculation and predictions etc. I do know one thing when this super Bowl is over I will still love the Pittsburgh Steelers just as much as the next yinzer but as I get older the people that I have met, become freinds with and love to the end mean the most to me. Thank you Pittsburgh Steelers.

Have a great week ahead.
Here we go!

The Stairway to Seven

Yinzers,

Before ynz read on, we will mention that there are many great parodies turned to Steelers fight songs, including Stairway to Heaven. We are not saying ours is better and we are not trying to rip any of theirs off, this is just our own version. Play the video, listen to the instrumental and read our lyrics. Enjoy

The Stairway to Seven
~lyrics by B. Brog, J. Brog and the Law; Album cover by J. Brog

There are fans who are sure

In their black and their gold

That they’re climbing the stairway to seven

When we get there we’ll know

That the Packers are those

Who are waiting to face the Steel Curtain

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

And we’re climbing the stairway to seven

There’s a man with the ball

Marching straight for the goal

And we know it will end in six points

Yellow towels wave around

As Jets fall to the ground

Meanwhile all of our thoughts turn to Myron

Ooh, Roethlisberger

Ooh, Polamalu

There’s a feeling I get

When I look to west

And the Terrible Towels are all waving

On our hands we can see

Rings of six already

And a space for one more still waiting

Ooh, Michael Wallace

Ooh, fear James Harrison

They will fall, all did say

When the Jets came to Heinz

But Coach Tomlin did lead us to vict’ry

In month 2 of the year

The Steel will stand strong

And the nation will echo “Go Steelers!”

Oh, here we go, here we go, here we go

From the three rivers to the west coast

And even farther

Steeler nation’s borders are endless

With all the antics in the spotlight

The Steelers have none

The Chief still lives in the hearts of kin

And keep reflecting

The spirits of past Super Bowl Champs

An inspiration

And Franco’s calling you to join him

Jack Lambert with L.C. and mean Joe

And the others

A dynasty resurrected new

And as we march to Dallas

Green Bay Packers we’ll face

In the house that Jones built

Both fight for one goal: Lombardi

Rogers fears Diezel’s beard and Big Snack

And will suffer more than ever

And Clay Matthews won’t serve much help

When all is said and all is done

The Steelers will hoist their seventh

And we're climbing the stairway to seven

Where'n the Hell Have you been?

Yinzers,

First off Happy Birthday to the Voice of the Steelers and Father of the Terrible Towel Myron Cope. Myron Passed a few years ago but his Legacy still remains every Sunday when Heinz field is filled with that Terrible wave.

Today the Pittsburgh Steelers Enter their 15Th AFC championship since 1970. The Jets are visiting Pittsburgh for the second time this year, as you know from reading the MSM It was a devistating loss for Truck and I in late December. Tickets for the Rematch and a one way ticket to the Super Bowl are on the line.( not to mention that they are the Golden ticket to get)

The Jets were relativly silent until today when BIG mouth Bart Scott took an open Jab at #86 Hines Ward. Give me a break. With all the Foot Fetish jokes, Getting High with Tone' and Gang Green the only thing they have to talk about it how Hines hits other Players. Amazing.

Wow what a super Mind game they are pulling, talk trash for the past two weeks and then sweet talk the Steelers for the past one. Give me a break. I personally like Coach Mike Tomlin's Stance on the upcoming Game- let all the talking get done . We are in the Game come 6pm Sunday.

Thanks for all your Patience with the MSM lately, life got in the way(along with Computer issues).

For the greatest fan base in all of sports, May the Memory of Myron and Grit and toughness of the Pittsburgh Steelers get us through.

Here we GO!

Wade
