AND MY PARROT FRIEND CAME BACK!
He got a little out of hand with some of the other fans, however.
Yes, the already ubiquitous Steelers fans are breeding, producing offspring indoctrinated into the polkatared ways of Steeler Nation.
Also, someone at the bar had a Cleatus action figure, which they claim was a Secret Santa gift. It almost ruined my day. Almost.
No Ben, that’s not a Choco Taco. Give it back to Santonio for quick bong manufacture.

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all. But think about if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this site could definitely be one of the greatest in its niche. Wonderful blog!

Probably drove into a lake after the game.
Just to put it to rest, people from Pittsburgh do care immensely about the Pens. Hockey fans here are die hard fans. The Pirates are another story. Most of the people in Pittsburgh still root for the Pirates, but few will show up to the games because they hate management sooooo f’n bad. 16 straight losing season will do that to you though. Personally I was never a big baseball fan in general because the game is so f’n flawed (salary cap anyone, anyone?) but will support the Pens until I die.
@Hater: Some team won more than 5 Super Bowls before the Super Bowl era? What? That first * just doesn’t make sense.
on to the STAIRWAY TO SEVEN!
If you homers are going to honor your legends (as you should), get their names right. He’s Robert Rocky Bleier. Stop getting it wrong and reinforcing all those stereotypes about the brain damage caused by too much coal dust in the air and iron city beer.
Oh, and now that you’ve won 6 super bowl trophies, would you mind doing the recruiting necessary (go outside Pennsylvania, since it’s the only way this will happen; I understand there’s a whole industry devoted to helping you find the talent) and field a goddam cheerleading squad?! Success traditionally attracts hot bitches, and God knows Pittsburgh needs some. Plus, doing so will make this shot to the balls even more painful for Jerry Jones. The man sold his soul for a 6th ring, and all he got was a bed full of shit. Please do what’s necessary to prolong his pain and frustration.
Finally, congratulations. The better team won, and that’s how it’s supposed to be.
Jesus Hussein Christ… what on earth are you blathering on about?!?
I stand corrected sir, you are an oak! I am in awe of your nonchalant attitude towards the outcome of your favorite team’s games! So, let me get this straight; if they win you rush off to sports blogs to trash talk & glorify yourself & your team, but if they lose you unemotionally say “oh well”- then within minutes you forget all about football until the next season. I must say, I envy you… my team hasn’t played a meaningful game in I don’t know when & I get pissed off during/after every single loss- but you would be unaffected at coming thisclose to a historic 6th title before losing. Boy, I sure wish I had your… competence?… determination??… & ability to make a coherent argument as well!

We did get Byron Leftwich a Super Bowl ring though. So you can appreciate that.
Sniffle.
“Nice try.”
That sort of sums up the Jaguars in general, doesn’t it?
Sorry, dude…beating a 5-11 team in the regular season doesn’t “avenge” a goddamn thing that happened in the previous year’s playoffs. Nice try.
/onlyjagsfanontheplanet
And incidentally, yeah, that’s exactly what I would have said. I wouldn’t have broken out any weak-ass shit about how the game was rigged. Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes it eats you. Quit snivelin; your snot bubble’s gettin bigger than warner’s when he was blubberin’ “Hey! I was passin’ that”
Oh yeah… and personal attacks are no substitute for a coherent argument.

GoSlash is a delusional hypocritical jackass. You Steelers fans are such consummate professionals when it comes to watching your football team- we all have a lot to learn from you… NO ONE DENIES THIS!!! It’s almost as if you copied and pasted a sports guy column, changed the “patriots” references to “steelers”, then continued to fan the splendid odor of your feces for all of us to enjoy. “We never broke a sweat… you either overcome or pack your shit and go home”…what a smug fucking prick. I can just picture all of the Pittsburgh faithful stoicly looking on, completely unaffected by the fact that their #1 defense just squandered the lead with under 3 minutes left. Had the Steelers failed to go back on top, I’m sure you classy gentlemen would simply have said “Oh well, that’s the way the cookie crumbles- congratulations Cardinals!” Assholes like this are the ones that make people generalize entire fanbases of certain teams as douchebags.
@Ape: Congrats on your team’s win (couldn’t care less, I’m a Skins fan, but it was for sure an entertaining game). But just out of curiosity, how many team jerseys do own? So far, I’ve seen at least 3 pictured on the site. Inquiring minds want to know.
Cheap Shot Altist,
By definition, every crappy call made tilts the balance in favor of one team or another. The problem with the anti-homers is that they can only acknowledge half of the shitty calls; the ones that support their paranoid-delusional world view.
There were exactly two questionable calls in this game, and they both *coincidentally* happened to favor the Cardinals.
#1 the phantom-hold safety without which Arizona wouldn’t have been in the game in the first place and #2 the amazing Fitzy I-never-actually-had-control-of-the-ball touchdown catch. But you know what? We never broke a sweat and we didn’t whine about it like a buncha prepubescent schoolgirls because sometimes shit just falls that way, and you either overcome or pack your shit and go home.
So to all the haters, I say this: If you’re so all-fired convinced that the game is rigged, STOP WATCHING!
I completely agree that Ben is a top 5 QB… and I said from the outset that he does a helluva job in the clutch. Believe me, as a Browns fan I KNEW what was coming when the Steelers got the ball back at the end. For the past three or four years, the Browns were completely obliterated in one game and sweated out an inevitable soul-crushing close defeat at the hands of the Steelers- and it always seemed to happen just like that. I’ll admit I was passionately cheering against them last night, but I blame the Cards offense (for going 3 1/2 fucking quarters without ONCE tossing the ball deep to #11- I don’t give a shit how many guys were covering him… and for not trying Fitzy fades before halftime instead of a quick slant against the best LB group in the league.) and last minute defense (for suddenly making HUGE coverage errors to ensure that the inevitable OT turned into the inevitable regulation choke-job) MUCH more than the referees. I just think it’s somewhat disingenuous to pretend that there were no instances where the officiating didn’t seem to tilt somewhat in the Steelers favor. It’s not like a bunch of jealous, whiny-ass critics have the power to tarnish your teams trophy. So Congrats… motherfuckers
/wait for it… wait for it… … WAIT TIL NEXT YEAR!
This site is better for all the homerism. And when your team wins a championship, you’re supposed to rub your cock in everyone’s face. Otherwise, why even bother?
Undt alzo…
I agree that Ol’ Silverback should have been ejected for that beat-down in the second half, but I also think he deserved the MVP for that pick-6.
That would have made for an epic disney world promo. (In the parking lot) “James Harrison: You just won the superbowl! What are you gonna do next?”
” First, I’mma wait for this candyass muthafucka to come get his second helping of pain. But then I’m taking his skull to Disney world.” (creepy psycho-smile)
Okay, I’m going to try to sort through the rubble of that response.
[Cracks knuckles]
I never said Ben was some all-powerful quarterbacking demigod. Only that these detractors who call him a turnover machine and, the most pointless dig of all, “overrated” are shortchanging the guy. He belongs in the top five QBs in the league. The guy plays behind what any observer would call a subpar offensive line, one that is not only poor at blocking but also, despite your bitching to the contrary, already draws tons of penalties. Of course, in your ideal Steelers hating fantasy, you’d like it if they were somehow being helped by the refs too. Roethlisberger can exacerbate matters by holding the ball too long, yes. You argue that Roethlisberger was barely touched on the last drive? Was this because there was no pressure on him? No, it’s because he avoided the pressure that there was.
I don’t give a fuck about the Browns. Their shittiness has rendered any rivalry nearly irrelevant. I was getting annoyed that this was turning into a Super Bowl XL redux, but it’s nothing but a contingent of bitter fans who want to discredit a Steelers title. There’s really nothing left to argue at this point about yesterday, and those who are arguing it are doing it from a place of emotion, not from reason.
I’m so happy Big Ben finally won a Super Bowl!
Cheap Shot Altist,
Counterpoint: Shut your whore mouth, whore.
Seriously, I think there’s some middle ground between “he’s a big worthless douche” and “he’s Jesus incarnate in pro-keds”. He might just be a quarterback good enough to win a few games here and there. Not perfect, but not as bad as you make him out to be.
Admit it: that 2 minute drill was pretty damn good, but we Stillers fans knew that it would be. Ben is a monster in the 2 minute drill and has been all year. If I’m not mistaken, the superbowl was the 6th game this year he pulled out the dumpster with a last-minute drive. Maybe you didn’t see what was coming, but we did.
Yikes. I go sub for a 7th grade science class for the day, and this post erupts in irrational hate. Ape-mania has officially taken hold…
/grabs popcorn
“COUNTERARGUMENT”?!?! You heap praise upon Ben as Jesus in cleats because “HE just won the Super Bowl behind one of the worst lines in the league”, when- in reality- he was barely touched on the final drive and as a result was able to buy himself time to find wide open receivers who had 20 yards of running room after the catch. I attempted to make the point that they are very proficient at holding and tackling defenders, but you insist that they don’t hold any more than any other team. I proceeded to describe one such potentially game-altering play in detail and encouraged you to watch the play for yourself. Your response (or counterargument, as you called it) was, basically: “What you say cannot possibly have merit because you are a Browns fan… and the Browns suck balls!! Ha-Ha, your team sucks!”.
So… I guess I can assume that your conclusion is that Ben always comes through in the clutch with absolutely no help from his worthless line- he has all of the time in the world to throw because of his superior speed and athleticism- and even if there are game-altering no-calls of apparent holds at crucial points of a game, it doesn’t matter because everybody gets away with holding sometimes… and, most importantly, the Browns suck- and if you, as a Browns fan, admit this obvious fact you are a coward.
I mean, dude, what was I supposed to do?… “counterargue” that the Browns have been a successful franchise for the 10 years since they came back into the league? Inigo Montoya says, “I do not think that word means what you think it means”. Your Browns-bashing diversion would better be described as “changing the subject”.
Don’t NOBODY leave Ape alone, everybody ALWAYS HATIN’. But they’s champions anyway. ALL Y’ALL DO IS HATE. WOOF, WOOF, WOOF!
Don’t you NEVER disrespect Ape’s Parrot. YOU AIN’T WON NO SUPER BOWL. They a WORLD CHAMPION, and you ain’t nothin’ but a mark-ass, playa-hatin’, dog food eatin’, livin’ in a cave, Cap’n Stubin’ hat wearing BEEOTCH!
WOOF, WOOF, WOOF!

Or maybe you can’t “win” because you drop the same “I’m a non-Steelers fan living in Pittsburgh so if I’m an unreasoning hater, it’s okay” line in every comment thread. And now you’re engaging in passive aggressive bullshit to other commenters getting their hate on.
“Nate Newton’s van Says:
February 2nd, 2009 at 3:21 pm
I don’t understand all this talk of a difficult schedule, however. Didn’t the Steelers go 4-4 against teams with a winning record? The only playoff teams they beat all year were the Chargers and Ravens. Oh My God….how the fuck did they survive such a gauntlet?”
Giants had a much better record against playoff teams in the regular season and had about as difficult a schedule but announcers are typically up the Steelers asses. It’s one thing if they said the Steelers had one of the more difficult schedules, whcih was true. it’s another when the douchebags say, “most difficult schedule ever.”
That being said, congrats to the Steelers on winning a great game. 6 Superbowls is impressive. However, maybe now you can win as many championships as the NY Giants. 7 world championships, baby! And don’t act like the Steelers weren’t around in the pre-Superbowl era.
you’re allowed to acknowledge negatives about them
Haven’t I, in this very thread, said their O-line sucks? Bashed Bruce Arians? And I’m not any more of a homer than Maj or Drew are. It just happens that their teams weren’t contending for titles this year.
The Steelers line is one of the more penalized units in the league. Yet your argument is, what then? There’s not a flag every single time Ben rolls around the pocket? Jesus Duding Christ, that’s some lingering fucking bitterness. And then you’re gonna hide behind the Browns being pathetic to deflect any counterargument? Fucking weak.
@Cheap Shot Altist: You might as well stop. You cannot win this. Take it from me. Once the yinzers finally get out of the drunk tank this afternoon they’ll gang up on you and from there you’re talking to a wall.
Well that is certainly an interesting philosophy… since I’m a Browns fan and use a commenter name that is not nice (not to mention very unoriginal) to a Steelers player, any criticism must be taken with a mountain of salt. However, your status as the most insufferable homer on this site only serves to strengthen your pro-Stillers argument- even when there is plenty of evidence to the contrary. The Steelers are world champions, and by definition the best team in the league… but you don’t need to pretend that they’re flawless and have never done one thing wrong- you’re allowed to acknowledge negatives about them. Here, let me show you how it’s done:
The Browns O-line underachieved (much like the rest of the team- or any Cleveland team that comes into a season with any kind of expectations for success for that matter) and Thomas didn’t deserve to make the Pro Bowl over Clady, let alone start! With the #5 pick in the draft they will undoubtedly pick a “can’t miss” prospect who will immediately “miss” while Rooney randomly grabs some homeless guy off the streets of Cleveland and turns him into the next Hall of Fame Steelers linebacker. See, it’s not that hard! (by the way, what joy could you possibly derive from lashing out at Browns fans at this point? Seriously, it’s like making fun of somebody for having a retarded relative- they have no control over it and there’s really no retort).
P.S.- I never said the Steelers line was “dirty”, just that they get away with a lot of holding- and while the old standby that you all use whenever several potentially game-altering blatant holds go uncalled (“Every line holds”, “They could call a hold on every play”) may have a slight bit of merit, I don’t see very many QBs running around in circles behind the line of scrimmage as often or for as long as Simple Ben while defenders mysteriously fall face first after beating their blockers.
And, dude, please don’t fucking call me dude- I beg you.
It is also worth pointing out that the Steelers seemed to have inexplicably gone to a prevent defense for stretches in the fourth quarter, especially on the drive that ended with the first Fitzgerald TD. If the safeties are playing closer to the line on the his second TD it might have been held to a 15-20 yard gain.
Dum Bunny, you are so…well, dumb, that it boggles the mind. And you’re a Browns fan? Jeebis, just admit that you’d sell a testicle to be the Steelers.
I don’t understand all this talk of a difficult schedule, however. Didn’t the Steelers go 4-4 against teams with a winning record? The only playoff teams they beat all year were the Chargers and Ravens. Oh My God….how the fuck did they survive such a gauntlet?
Why don’t you complain about your offensive coordinator some more?
/Harrison takes 5 cheap shots at a Cardinal player
//Steelers fans swoon
It truly sucks having to defend your team after they win a Super Bowl. I remember putting up with a bunch of “if it wasn’t for Neil O’Donnell” comments the last time the Cowboys won a SB.
Dum Bunny’s hate gets more delusional the more the Steelers win. I kind of love it.
Cheap Shot, the Cards got away with as many holds as they were called for. Because there are tons of uncalled holds. Every line does, including Mighty Joe Thomas and the your Browns highly-touted line. And, dude, your commenter name is a shot at a Steelers player. Your ravings about how supposedly dirty the Steelers line is is to be taken with about a mountain of salt.
Looking forward to wins 12 and 13 in a row over Cleveland next year.
I though everybody knew about the jewel of Crawford County (crystal meth capitol of Western PA).
I want to apologize for my comment about Erie – did any of you guys find a set of keys after the thaw?
Okay Ape… check the tape. Pay special attention to the never-ending drive that included 3 personal fouls and eventually led to a field goal (and- more importantly- several minutes being drained from the clock). You know the play where Ben was “hit late”? Watch closely as the Zona defender wears an O-lineman as a cape for about 5 yards as he administers a choke hold… then when said defender peels off that O-lineman and is about to sack the flawless, God-like Ben, another blocker tackles him from behind! Inevitably, the announcers masturbate furiously over Ben’s “elusiveness”, and he is bailed out of a drive-ending incompletion by an unnecessary roughness penalty for hitting the QB .5 seconds after he released the ball.
I’m not saying that the Steelers won because of the refs (the game-winning drive was largely due to absolutely God-awful, “How the fuck do you let that happen” defense)… I’m not saying that Ben doesn’t always seem to come through in the clutch… all I’m saying is that your O-line- much like the dirty-ass Denver Chop-blockers- gets away with a lot of shit. I’m happy for some of my Steelers friends WHO ARE FROM PITTSBURGH and enjoy their team winning more than everyone else’s teams losing- but even most of them have readily admitted that they got (or, more often, Zona didn’t get) a lot more calls from the refs. Again, the point is moot, but some of you seem to think that admitting to a few obvious referee fuck-ups somehow means that you’re admitting that your team didn’t earn their rings. I don’t believe that you’re blind to what happened on the field Apey… just blindly stubborn.
Big Ben had a good game. That’s good, not great, BTW. A horrible season though. Steeler fans keep on blathering about their offensive line but it was pretty fantastic most of yesterday. Ben held on to the ball for long periods multiple times. If you credit Big Ben for contributing in any significant way to this Championship, you’re an idiot who can’t understand the concept that football is a team game and it’s possible to have some players be mediocre even on an excellent team. He sucked most of the year and got bailed out by the best D in the league. League average QB.
He’s going to the hall of fame though, because sportswriters are imbeciles.
I’m from just outside of Pittsburgh, one town over from where the Steelers hold training camp. I am 38 years old and I live in So Cal and I have seen all of the Super Bowl victories. I have to tell you this….being a Pirate and Penguin fan only makes the experience of winning something that much sweeter. Hell, I’m a Clipper fan too, so you know how much pain I have to go through.
And the Steelers line is the worst. Colon and Kemoeatu are good for one holding call per half. Max Starks is a statue. But if you can win with that line and a running game with Willie Parker (no longer Fast Willie Parker) imagine what would happen with competent blockers? Alan Faneca…..great choice to go to the Jets.
Here’s looking for #7, or the Pirates winning 82 games….One of these is more likely to happen…..
@Nimby
Yeah Meadville is Stillers territory, how did you know that town even existed. And for each of the last 15 painful years I have cheered for the Pirates although I refuse to go to games anymore. I fall in a snow pile every time I drink in Erie too, it’s not tough as snow is there 8 months a year
Uh, the Steelers line get flagged plenty fucking often, especially Willie Colon. Hell, they when got hit for a hold on the first play of the winning drive and still the offense found a way to win.
“He just won the Super Bowl behind one of the worst lines in the league.”
… however, when it comes to holding and/or tackling defenders from behind (without a flag, of course), they were definitely among the best in the league all season long! I give Ben credit for constantly converting clutch downfield receptions after standing/scrambling seemingly forever… but I’d say only about 50% of the time (or less) this is due to his elusiveness. A lot of shenanigans by this O-line seem to be overlooked… & if that’s not the case, then Steeler fans need to stop whining about how horrible they are all the time in an attempt to deify their latest retarded QB. The big dummy always has plenty of time to find an opening. Just saying…
@ Orange Julius
Can we give them Meadville, too?
And on a personal note: fuck Erie…I got thrown out of two bars there in one night and later fell into a snow pile…turns out I was drunk.
He definitely was not the reason they won.
Except that whole measly final game-winning drive. All everyone said before the game was quoting his Super Bowl XL rating and how they were sure he’d turn the ball over at least three times. He just won the Super Bowl behind one of the worst lines in the league. Give the guy his due.
Ben played like crap most of the game. He definitely was not the reason they won.
Here’s my one and only Steelers fan hate for the day. 100 arrests in Pittsburgh last night. After the Phillies won the World Series, 76 arrests. Philly has 5 times the population. Way to act like you’ve been there before, yinzers. Although a lot of those arrests happened around the Pitt campus, home to the newest generation of bandwagon Steelers fans. (IT. IS. TRUE.) So a lot of them haven’t been there before.
i know Ben forever silenced my criticism with his 20 point offensive explosion on an average Arizona D.
/just kidding, Ben is the greatest everything of all-time!
@ Cheap Shot Altist
I always kind of considered cities like Youngstown and Steubenville to be Steelers territory, while Erie, PA tends to like Cleveland. Are there other parts of Ohio that also claim Pittsburgh?
A pregnant Steelers fan at a bar…what a shock.
Tip o’ the cap, tho, to a true 60-minute team. Damn shame no less than 3 people spelt the man’s name “Blier”. He’s a Vietnam vet with a clubfoot, people. Show a modicum of respect!
You people need to stop living in the past! Last season is over, & today everyone is undefeated again!!… even the Cleveland Browns (who it warrants mentioning- especially now that I’ve been overwhelmingly authorized by Steelers fans to trash talk about past successes of my team- have won EIGHT CHAMPIONSHIPS compared to the measly 6 that Pittsburgh has… come talk to us after you win two more you fucking pansies!!)
/cries self to sleep, gently rocking back and forth.

@Ditmas AV – No. Not the same one.
I’m disappointed that Ape hasn’t been as insufferable as we thought he’d be. But still, when does he get the cookie sheet to the face?
I’m also confused, do I get to celebrate all the Packers Super Bowls and championships, or only the You Know Who one against the Pats? Can we get a ruling on this?
/gonna celebrate them anyway so fuck you, Steelers have 6 trophies.
Here’s something to hate:
“h. The Jets, as I said Sunday on NBC, are going to give Brett Favre lots of time to breathe. As in months. Favre and GM Mike Tannenbaum talked the other day for the first time since Dec. 29, and Tannenbaum said he was in no rush for Favre to make a decision on his future.
i. Doesn’t matter. I don’t believe Favre will play again.”
Yes. It doesn’t matter that we’re less than twenty-four hours from the Super Bowl, Peter King has to crowbar his Favre dicksucking in somewhere.
best team in NFL history
that’s a good one. now do your bit about supermarket buggies with that one wonky wheel. It’s gold!
We have a Steelers fan in my office; he’s actually a pretty cool guy and he hasn’t been going on about it too much yet, so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that he’s not a tool. I guess fans deserve a full day to blah blah blah about the team. But tomorrow, we all going back to hating the Patriots fans and the Dallas Cowboys themselves, as God intended.
I am not a fan of the Steelers but not a Steelers hater either…so congrats. I am pretty much happy with any Super Bowl outcome just as long as the Cowboys and the Pats don’t win it all….oh and the Bears, Vikings, Eagles, Skins, and Giants (unless they are beating the Pats)
/I hate a lot of teams
Best team of the year won this thing, and best team in NFL history they are.
You cant stop the Ben when 2 minutes or less on clock. Hes my MVP. But man Homies catch was like up there in Randy Moss and Fitz territory.
I’m suprised Harrison’s on field roid rage didn’t get him thrown out.
Rou Hobbs -
Not sure if you’re the same Roy Hobbs from CelticsBlog, but if so, I’m caling shenanigans. Let me guess, you’re a die-hard Red Wings and Yankee fan too!
Wait…the Super Bowl was yesterday?!
Beat the defending Super Bowl Champions…not so much.
Hines is pretty friendly to the media, so he may not get the snub Carter has gotten, though, yes, Carter has a better HOF resume than Hines.
At best, he should wait twice as long as Carter, if he gets in at all, however long Carter waits. Media bitchassness aside, there’s no comparing the resumes. This is it from me on this one though, the hate may be all I have left, but there’s a time and a place, and I do not want to deal with all the lurkers today.
Congatulations you motherf*&^%in’ motherf%$#ers, f#*&K you!
I don’t know who won. I was at a trans-siberian concert with my mom. So no one say anything, I taped the game on beta and can’t wait to watch it. I love that spuds mckenzie!
/so says the average retard-backwards steelers fan
//steeler fan would go to concert with his mother if he knew who the crack whore bitch was
Kurt Warner should start every Super Bowl. The 3 he has started has been have been awesome.
No hate here, would have liked to see Arizona win. Had to watch the game with a die hard Steelers fan (my cousin) so that was fun.
Most likely. The 100-yard pick-six was obviously the biggest play of the game, but then Harrison didn’t have any sacks, though he did consistently beat Arizona’s left tackle badly enough to draw three or four holding calls. I thought Harrison would get MVP, but I have no problem with it going to Santonio.
Did Harrison cost himself the MVP with that late personal foul (which IMO should have gotten him tossed)? Holmes’s catch was great, but I still think the Steelers win the game without it. I am not sure they do without the pick six.
Ryno Says:
Ape- when the cards went up by 3, how confident were you that your boys could come back and at least force OT.
The final-drive-score-for-the-win had been their M.O. all year, so I had hope, but I was still panicking hard that they would wait until the Super Bowl not to pull one off.
HOWEVA, Ape, the fact the Carter didn’t get in again tilts the Hines argument from last week in my favor. It has to. Not that I agree with it on these terms, but if this is the world we’re living in, he can’t even be close. Still, enjoy the win you bastard.
You forget that the writers who vote on the Hall hold petty grudges against churlish players. Hines is pretty friendly to the media, so he may not get the snub Carter has gotten, though, yes, Carter has a better HOF resume than Hines.
I hate the Steelers more than anyone and the refs had nothing to do with the outcome. Fucking get over it. Congrats to the Steelers and all of their fans that at least try to fight the urge to be obnoxious.
