Here we go

Here we go remebering the past football season in which the Pittsburgh Steelers - the wild card team that everyone - including myself thought they were out of the playoffs at week six came back and won the Superbowl to become world champions! How did they do it? Well here are are the top ten reasons why the Pittsburgh Steelers won the NFL Championship.

X. Smith, Faneca, Hartings, Simmons, and Starks weigh a combined 1,572 pounds, while the Seahawks’ puny offensive line weighs a pathetic 1,534 pounds.

IX. Other teams are so distracted by Troy Polamalu's incredible curls that his unbelievable plays are overshadowed by his unbelievable hair—giving him something similar to the element of surprise.

VIII. Willie Parker, although not the league MVP, might be the toughest running back in the NFL, having raced against bulldogs in his youth, and having gotten so much production from his 5 foot 10 inch, 209 pound frame.

VII. Hines Ward who had excelled at three positions at the University of Georgia and who has passed Gubernatorial Candidate Lynn Swann on the Steelers’ all-time receiving list, has done it all with a smile (a few tears) and a mother who never gave up on him even though, for a time, he resented her.

VI. Legendary broadcaster Myron Cope has said about Antwaan Randall El that “the man could dodge raindrops,” knowing this, Coach Whisenhunt forces others teams to question just what in the heck the former Indiana quarterback turned wide receiver is going to do out there.

V. Joey Porter is so tough that he was once shot in the buttocks and had the bullet lodge in his thigh, but he was still back on the field in Cincinnati within a month jawing and giving people "The Boot" again.

IV. Larry Foote, who chose his hometown University of Michigan over UCLA, Colorado, Nebraska, and Tennessee, will be stomping “Foote's Foot” harder than ever before.

III. Nose Tackle, Casey Hampton (who is supposedly 325 pounds) cannot be blocked by a single person of the offensive line—or the buffet line, for that matter.

II. Bill Cowher, who after suffering multiple playoff loses with the likes of Neil O’Donnell, Kordell Stewart, and even Tommy “Gun” Maddox, likes the attitude of young gun 26-4 Ben Roethlisberger who has dedicated the game to his grandfather and the Steelers fans in uniform over seas.

I. In what some suggest might be his last season, Jerome “The Bus” Bettis, listed at 255 pounds, who runs like bowling ball, is back home in Detroit where he has received the key to the city and where he intends on adding an NFL Championship to his list of accomplishments, which already includes being given his own holiday, bowling a 300 game, and learning ballet.
