We joke all the time about the Steelers.  It's so much fun.
If you can't understand why it's so much fun, then you shouldn't be here.

Quick journey through recent home AFC Championship games:

We cried in January '95 when the Chargers upset the Steelers in the AFC Championship.

Cried again in January '96 when Neil O'Donnell and Ernie Mills led the way to Super Bowl XXX.

In January '98, we watched Kordell fall apart against the Broncos.

Devasting.
3rd down and 1 in Denver territory.  Riding Bettis all game.
Steelers go to the air, throw a pick.  It changes the game.
Steelers needed to stop Elway on a 3rd and mid-yardage at the end of the game.
Shannon Sharpe.  First Down.  Game.

In 2001, it took us weeks to even look at a TV after Drew Bledsoe relieved Tom Brady as the Pats stunned the world.

Maybe top ten sickest nights of our lives.
The following morning was like -30 degrees.

All of these moments have no question been big influences on our daily lives.
It gave us that bitter feeling that still resonates.

But whatev. 6:45-ish.
We're all in this together.
