Well I hope Jerome Bettis is happy with the deal he made w/the Devil

[sasquatch]

At least the Steelers will get a shot at a fifth Super Bowl title so they can be in the same class with the Cowboys and 49ers.

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

1. Huh?

You aren't still bitter about the Cincy game.

You used PROFANITY against me in a thread after that game.:cry:

[sasquatch]

2. Oh Jesus, dry your eyes with your new "AFC Champs" t-shirt

:eyes:

[bicentennial_baby]

3. would you like a Waaaaaahburger

with your French Cries? :D

:P

[sasquatch]

5. Oh, go participate in your orgy

:P

[sleipnir]

4. Bettis is going to get a ring. Plain and simple.

Superbowl champs once again!

[fishwax]

7. the losers get rings too

:)

[sasquatch]

8. I don't think anybody out of the NFC is going to stop him

No, not this year, all of the good teams are in the AFC.

[Wapsie B]

14. When the Steelers played the Bears

it looked like P'burg had it going on all cylinders. They look like a team on a mission.

[fizzgig]

6. no shit

i could not believe the breaks he and the rest of the team got

stoopid broncos

:argh:

[fishwax]

9. well, the broncos sure didn't help their cause

:grr::(

btw, I assume foco is fort collins? Great town--I've always considered it a secondary hometown :)

[fizzgig]

12. it is indeed

it's a great town unless you've lived there your whole life

double bonus points to the first poster to get that

[fishwax]

16. I'm not sure of the reference

but I can understand the sentiment :)

[fizzgig]

17. reference?

you have to speak slowly for me tonight...too much cheap vodka...

[fishwax]

18. I assumed the double bonus points were for identifying the

reference on the "great town unless you've lived here your whole life" quote. But I might've misunderstood :)

[fizzgig]

22. the double bonus points

were for actually figuring out what city i was referring to

:hi:

[fishwax]

23. oh, i get it :)

seems obvious now ... I think I could use some cheap vodka myself :silly:

[fizzgig]

24. why is the fort your second home?

at this point in my life, i can't imagine anyone liking it...

:wtf:

but then again, that is just me

[fishwax]

25. my parents are both from there

and my grandparents on my dad's side lived there as I was growing up, and I have so many great memories of visiting them every christmas and plenty of other times as well. I spent a few summers there over the years as well, living with my dad after he moved back there. I really like the quick access to the mountains, the college town feel (i love old town) and I've got a soft spot for CSU as well (my grandpa taught there for several years). Anyway, whatever chaos occurs in my outside world, I've always known there is safe harbor for me in Fort Collins :)

But I probably wouldn't feel that way if I'd lived there for any significant period of time--i'm the kind who needs a frequent change of scenery :)

[eeyore]

32. I also grew up in Ft. Fun, and completely understand what you're saying...

Left to go to college when I was 17, and breathed a huge sigh of relief when I arrived in Portland, OR. I've never wanted to move back, though I do still enjoy visiting my family when I go.

But living there again? Not gonna happen!

:toast:

[bleedingheart]

10. I bet he is....bwahahahahah

:-)

[tigereye]

11. c'mon now

they worked hard. No one thought they could get this far! And Bettis has magic feet, that great big loveable guy!

No sour grapes here, eh? ;)

[lies and propaganda]

13. Did he make a deal with Jake the Fake?

Sure did look that way.

Im so glad that game played out like it did; hes gonna have trouble living it down :toast: :toast: :toast:

[RPM]

15. W00t!!!!

[wallwriter]

19. It's not a deal with the devil

when you act like a gentleman and still play good football. Bettis slightly past his peak is better than many backs at their best. Plus, the whole team loves the guy and rallies around him. He is a motivator who has helped the team get this far.

I actually respect the Bengals as a team, especially under Marvin Lewis.

But if taking cheap shots will make you feel better, go right ahead.

[chookie]

20. There were anxious moments

Many of us were afraid that Jerome would be weak from loss of blood after signing his name on that satanic contract, but even with the high altitude and his asthma, he did great. Hail Satan!

[nolabels]

26. Baahahhhhhhhhhhhhhwww

yea, yea, okay already we get it, we get it :shrug:

[JVS]

21. WTF are you talking about?

Bungles suck!

[sasquatch]

28. Look at the series of unfortunate events that benefited the Steelers

The team that was champion of their division lost it's starting quarterback on the first pass play on the game in the first round of the playoffs. This allowed them to win the game.

The best team in football's coach had lost his eldest son a month before the playoff game and the whole time leading up to that game the Colts weren't the same.

[JVS]

29. The Bengals were only champs of their division because...

Roethlisberger had a knee injury and it hurt our midseason.

The moment Kimo rolled on into the Bengals' QB's leg was when the truth became evident that those who live by knee injuries die by knee injuries.

[tigereye]

33. the Steelers were the underdogs!

yup, it's a cosmic conspiracy, all right.

I suspect the Steelers would have won the Cinci game, even if that hadn't happened. They are just like a juggernaut this year.

[driver8]

27. I think someone forgot to tell the Broncos that they had a game today!

I think they all got phone calls this morning telling them to get their asses to the stadium! Well, that's how they played, anyway.

[sasquatch]

30. Poor Jake the Snake was running his ass off out there

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

31. LL Cool J will have to play Bettis in the movie about his life...

[sasquatch]

34. Yeah, after they have him put on 25 - 30 lbs.
