Its just a game

Thats right its just a game. And on Monday morning the sun is still going to rise. Thats what a local anchorman said of the Super Bowl and whether or not the Steelers win. I pray they lose. I HATE the steelers and their ridiculous fans. They are one of two teams in the history of the NFL that cheat, knowingly, and get away with it. But thats not what I came here to say.

Scott Bremner has this weekly segment on the 6 oclock news called Thoughts From Under The Hat. And even though hes a Steelers fan I have to agree with what he said on Friday. He also talked about how ridiculous the fans of all teams are becoming. After reading this, head on over to the video and hear him actually say it, HERE

Okay, I'm just going to say it, so everyone just try to contain your emotions.
It's just a game.
I know, I know, it sounds a bit blasphemous, coming just two days before the Super Bowl.
But come Monday morning, the sun will still come up (just not around here), the kids will still ignore you and the boss will still wonder why that report wasn't finished five minutes ago.
It may be even more unbelievable that those words are coming from me, a lifelong Steelers fan.
But maybe "fan" is too mild a term.
My father still swears that when they cut the cord at my birth, it bled Black and Gold.
He and I would watch the games together in my youth, my father making odd clucking sounds or would "tsk-tsk-tsk" when the Steelers botched a play.
To this day every time I hear that sound I still look around to see who scored a touchdown.
Those seem like kinder and gentler days then, when people could root for different teams without fear, when the ribbing had limits that didn't include the threat of bodily harm.
Now going to a stadium wearing the visitor's colors is more an open invitation to mayhem and you should consider yourself fortunate if all that happens is getting drenched in beer.
It's gotten to the point that when I go I rarely wear the garb, if for no other reason than I simply have grown weary of the noise.
And no, gentle viewers, Steelers fans aren't worse than Browns fans and Raider fans aren't worse than Dallas fans.
Jerks are universal.
So enjoy the game this weekend and remember it's just a game.
The real world will return soon enough Monday morning.

 I do have to disagree with one statement he said, Steelers fans ARE worse than browns fans, and even Dallas fans. LOL So think about what he said the next time you hurl insults at the opposing teams fans. They are just trying to have a good time just like you, even if they are cheering for cheaters and rapists.

Enjoy the Super Bowl. Go Packers!!!!!!!!
