Sorry, I'm very ill, this should have been yesterday's

If you look up Polamalu in the dictionary, you’ll find nothing.
Polamalu doesn’t exist in the dictionary, but it should.
And it should be an adjective.
An adjective that describes something far from greatness, far from amazing and something far from ordinary. Something, which truly is one of a kind in all accounts.
After all, Polamalu is the only word that can even come remotely close to describing Troy Polamalu, the best all around athlete in the NFL.
There is no better or bigger game-changer currently gracing a NFL lineup.
Athletic just doesn’t do him justice.
Fast isn’t the right word.
Special isn’t enough.
The word great is far too overused on stuff that is far from greatness.
Polamalu is better than great.
I have never seen an athlete in a single sport change big games like Polamalu has time and time again this year.
In my young 25 years I’ve been blessed to see some amazing athletes, but nothing comes close to what Polamala can do the field.
He’s a freak of nature.
He’s a Polamalu!

Steelers Joke 1/28/09
*This Joke Courtesy: Mario Burkett*
STEELERS BABY
A Pittsburgh Steelers fan is drinking in a Cleveland bar, when he gets a call on his cell phone. He hangs up, grinning from ear to ear, and orders a round of drinks for everybody in the bar, announcing his wife has just given birth to a typical Pittsburgh baby boy weighing 25 pounds.
Nobody can believe that any new baby can weigh in at 25 pounds, but the Steelers fan just shrugs and replies: "That's about average back home, folks, like I said, my boy's a typical Pittsburgh baby boy.""He's gonna be a Pittsburgh Steelers football player." Congratulations showered him from all around, amid many exclamations of "WOW!"One woman actually fainted due to sympathy pains.
Two weeks later, he returns to the bar. The bartender says: "Say, aren't you the father of that typical Pittsburgh baby that weighed 25 pounds at birth? Everybody's been making bets about how big he'd be in two weeks.""So, how much does he weigh now?"The proud father answers: "Seventeen pounds."The bartender is puzzled, concerned and a little suspicious. "What happened? He already weighed 25 pounds the day he was born!"
The Steelers fan father takes a slow swig of his beer, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender and proudly says:"HAD HIM CIRCUMCISED!!!."
GO STEELERS!!!!

Tampa is STEELERS COUNTRY, Monday is for Myron
By: D. Spat
Well boys and girls, we did it. And yes, as a proud member of Stiller Nation I can proudly and wholeheartedly say we did it.
You can say we did it too, because we did.
We made a difference, we always do and we will once again this weekend.
Well boys and girls, we did it. And yes, as a proud member of Stiller Nation I can proudly and wholeheartedly say we did it.
You can say we did it too, because we did.
We made a difference, we always do and we will once again this weekend.
We are a Nation, a nation of black and gold, a nation based on history and passion,
A STEELER NATION.
And now, we’re going to Tampa to play in our seventh Super Bowl. We get to try and win our sixth, more than any other team in history.
As of press time, we are five days, 133 hours, 8001 seconds and 480050 seconds away from kickoff at Super Bowl XLIII. (Countdown http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/customcounter.html?month=Feb&day=1&year=2009&hour=&min=&sec=&p0=198)
I for one can’t wait.
If you think the Monday before AFC Championship was tough, how about last week.
The bye week has come and gone and now it’s back to business.
If you didn’t get pumped for the showdown with Ravens, shame on you but I know I’m talking to some hardcore fans.
Keep that black and gold out and WAVE THOSE TOWELS BABY, it’s go time.
I can’t even describe how pumped I am. This is going to be a long week.
I’ve also come to the conclusion that Monday’s will forever remain for Myron. Hey, why change a good thing.
Myron, you’re the man, a true legend.
Here are two awesome videos. The first is about six minutes and the second is about three.
Please take a minute to check them out. I cried when I first found them months ago, I cried last night watching them again and I cried this morning watching them each for 100th time.
Hey what can I say, I’m a passionate person. I’m a Steeler fan.
Myron truly was a legend and will be smiling down on his beloved Stillers this week.
Yoy, you double yoy!

"America's New Team!"
By: Marc R.
Now I cannot offer the same first-hand experience as my colleague when it comes to the 2009 AFC Championship experience.
Mine was filled with chips, various kinds of dips, homemade pizza and of course beverages.
I was not brave enough to venture out in the cold with two of the wildest Italian-Americans I have ever met!!
However, when Polamalu intercepted that duck Flacco called a pass, I knew my friends at Heinz Field shared the same emotions I did - joy, happiness and the idea that history is going to repeat itself.
When the Steelers win and cap off the six-pack, Punxsatawney Phil will wake up the next day and realize that the shadow he sees is not his own, but that of a dynasty that will hover over the entire NFL!
The Black and Gold may not have appeared in the most Super Bowls (that honor goes to Dallas), but they will stand alone in the league as the only teams with six trophies!!
Sure, everyone will argue about the Patriots reign in the late nineties/new millenium.
The Cowboys and 49ers will be in the topic of discussion also. The Bills maybe (I emphasize that) will be talked about their 4 straight AFC Championship crowns.
However, no team will have achieved what Pittsburgh has.
The Rooney family, I salute you!
You have taken the ideals of the blu-collar working man and instilled it into your franchise!!
Because of your willingness to stay true to your values, On Sunday February 1st, you will ensured that the Pittsburgh Steelers need to be given the title.....

WOW WOW WOW, Pittsburgh's Goin' to the Super Bowl
By D-Spat
All, sorry for not updating the blog. Next week will be hardcore like last. Honestly, I’ve been in recovery, I feel like I played. Between the jumping up and down, the cold, the yelling and screaming … my body feels like I ran marathon.
But, WOW.
Really, even two days later that’s all I can really say.
It was amazing and I was there.
My cousin Danny and I were there.
All my friends talked about going to the game.
As prices soared, people dropped out.
As it got closer, all backed out. Too far to drive, too much money, it’s going to be too cold.
At end of the week, TWO SPATAFOREs stood tall.
Surprise … Surprise.
Armed with Terrible Towels in hand, IC Light a plenty and draped from head to toe in black in gold we made our journey to Da’Burgh.
We were there; we took it in, like only our fathers would have done.
Like the Spatafore men did many times before, we followed in their footsteps and were warriors.
To be there with my cousin was truly a special moment.
The crowd made the game that much better, but let’s face it our TEAM came up big.
You can’t beat a time three times, please!
And nothing better than beating the Hated Ravens.
It was the coldest time of my life, I still have no feeling in my fingers tips, even as I write this. Our beverages froze in seconds.
Getting to the game, the AFC Championship, the cold, the snow, the atmosphere, Pittsburgh during a playoff game, the fans, the chants, the two teams, the rivalry, the BOUNTY, the game itself the, the outcome, the biggest crowd in Heinz Field History, being with my cousin, being a Italian American … WOW.
It was truly the best night of my life.
Knowing we were part of the biggest crowd ever was amazing.
STILLERS fans are the ultimate 12th man, there is no question in my mind after this game.
The place was alive, it was AWESOME.
We were among 65,350 absolute animals.
Our uncle Gary was so proud of us.
I know my Dad was watching and smiling down on us.
We were maniacs, after all the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Hey, Pittsburgh’s goin’ to the SuperBowl!
My emotional state is still out of this world.
Here are two links for you guys.
This is the new Here We Go song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk1OrZoAsA8
And I’m so mad it I didn’t find this last week, but this is awesome too. This guy is an animal for making this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmP-nm0jaZE&feature=related
Here’s the crowd after game singing Here We Go (I’m pretty sure I started this chat!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IURsUXZBvY

Stillers Joke!
Golden Telephone
A man in Topeka , Kansas decided to write a book about Churches around the country. He started by flying to San Francisco and started working east from there.
Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and making notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall and was intrigued with a sign, which read "Calls: $10,000 a minute."
Seeking out the pastor he asked about the phone and the sign. The pastor answered that this golden phone is, in fact, a direct line to heaven and if he pays the price he can talk directly to God.
The man thanked the pastor and continued on his way. As he continued to visit churches in Seattle , Dallas , St. Louis , Chicago, Milwaukee , and around the United States , he found more phones, with the same sign, and the same answer from each pastor.
Finally, he arrived in Pennsylvania . Upon entering a Church in Pittsburgh, he saw the usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the sign read "Calls: $0.35 cents."
Fascinated, he asked to talk to the pastor, "Father Jones, I have been in cities all across the country and in each church I have found this golden telephone and have been told it is a direct line to Heaven and that I could talk to God, but in the other churches the cost was $10,000 a minute. Your sign reads only $0.35 cents a call. Why?
The priest, smiling benignly, replied : "Son, you're in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania now, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers-5 times Super Bowl Champions, the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Pittsburgh Pengins, 3 vibrant rivers meeting at the Point of the most beautiful downtown area around, the city with the best hospitals, neighborhoods and friendliest people in the world! You're in God's Country....
It's a local call."
AMEN
