Running NFL Conference Championships Thread

He and Barry Manilow are watching the game at 70s night party.

 

I'm sure he's sitting on a college quad somewhere, playing his music to get the panties off an emo chick.

 

Amazing performance by Troy Polamalu, but I believe it was James Harrison who put the pressure on Flacco on the big interception. He and Lamarr Woodley were outstanding.

Roethlisberger's numbers don't look like much, but he did enough to win and didn't turn the ball over. Losing Ward really hurt that offense, and Sweed's drop could have been a killer.

Also, I take back every negative word I wrote about Jeff Reed. He came through today.

 

It's ironic that the Steelers arefacing the Cardinals in the Super Bowl.

Two years ago, Ken Whisenhunt and Russ Grimm were thought to be the front-runners for the Steelers head coaching job when Bill Cowher retired. Both had been long-time assistants on winning teams and it seemed to make sense for Pittsburgh to promote from within. Instead, they hired Tomlin from Minnesota and Whisenhunt and Grimm bailed for Arizona. It was widely thought they wouldn't stay if one or the other didn't get the Pittsburgh head coaching job.

So now here we are and the two are facing each other on the sport's biggest stage. Small world.

 

Really?

 

Is there anyone whose voice matches their body and playing style less than Polamalu?

 

I hope I am just tired and missing the blue font. Because we are going to hear about this non-stop for two weeks.

 

You're thinking of Matt Leinart.

 

I'm sure we will hear plenty about the Pittsburgh connections with the Cardinals. Fitzgerald went to Pitt, as did linebacker Gerald Hayes. Steve Breaston is from Pittsburgh. He went to the same high school where Jason Taylor played his high school ball, Woodland Hills.

 

Flacco spent a year at Pitt and I didn't see or hear one word about it all week.

 

Dontcha think?

 

On top of that, Jerome Bettis is from Detroit.
