Gold fibers of cotton woven together and imprinted with a two word phrase describing one of the most terrifying sites in the National Football League, Myron Cope's "Terrible Towel" is a symbol of fan loyalty and football excellence in the regalia of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Anybody who knows me, knows that I have been a Steelers fan, since about 1983. I've never been to Pittsburgh, nor has my father, but we recognized the tradition of excellence displayed by the Steelers and we've celebrated that pattern for years. The terrible towel struck again in Tampa Bay, FL as the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals bouted for 60 minutes on the Gridiron for the SuperBowl Title of 2009. Needless to say two hard working teams fought to get there and one team would emerge victorious. I knew who it would be, others were skeptical; delusional even. The game came down to the wire, but I believe Pittsburgh Head Coach, Mike Tomlin, summed it up when he said, "These guys don't blink, they just deliver." The Steelers delivered a knockout touchdown, to capture the title with 35 seconds left on the clock. Many records were broken on Feb. 1st. The Steelers took sole possession of the Superbowls won title beating Dallas 6-5. What's my perfect day? Yesterday.
The Steelers are number one.
Period.
