I have been a Pittsburgh Steelers fan for a long time. I don’t claim to have been cognizant of all of their Superbowl victories (although I was actually alive for all of them), I have always been a Pittsbugh Steelers fan (which, for a kid growing up in suburban Philadelphia was as popular as Benedict Arnold) and this was the sweetest of all.
I got my Steelers helmet for Christmas in 1994 from Pete Carty, a good friend (and former roommate)… After Superbowl XXX, I feared that the helmet was cursed (do you realize how hard it is to stick the neck of a beer bottle through the face mask?!)… It worked this year.
When Franco Harris (!!) ran out before the game waved the Terrible Towel, I had a good feeling… It quickly dissapated when the game started… I’ll be honest, Matt Hasselbeck was the MVP…
What does it matter, the Steelers won! For the thumb! Yay!
