Curtain Rises For the Steelers

I have always been a Pittsburgh Steelers fan going back to the 1970's when they won four Super Bowls. Those teams placed nine players in the Hall of Fame. The list is so awesome: Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Mike Webster, Jack Lambert, Mel Blount, Jack Ham and Joe Greene. Head Coach Chuck Noll is also there.

The Steelers are a model of consistency, owned by the Rooney family since 1933. They have had only three coaches since 1969 with Chuck Noll (1969-1991), Bill Cowher (1992-2006) and Mike Tomlin (2007-present).

As they seek to win their seventh title, I am torn between them and Green Bay. You can't get two more iconic franchises in the big game.

I am also a huge fan of Hines Ward and Troy Polamalu. They play the game with an incredible amount of focus and passion. I really admire that.
