Steelers Take down the Patriots!

Yesterday the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the New England Patriots and I am not sure why they even bothered to play the game. Watching the Pre-game shows the, so called experts, with the exception of former Steeler coach Bill Cowher, stated the Steelers could not contain Tom Brady and would loose. Well guess what, the "Steel Curtain" held Brady to a season low 198 yards and their lowest point production in over a year. I will give Bill Belichick and the Patriots their due. They are a great football organization, but the Steelers are second to none in the last forty years. The black and gold have been a team that is always in the hunt for a title and yet they seem to be pushed into the background whenever the "experts" talk about great franchises. All the Steelers do is win and I have news for the rest of the NFL. The Steelers will continue to win.

Congratulations to Joe Pa!

Let me start first and state I am not and have never been a Penn State fan. Growing up in the Pittsburgh area I have always been a fan of the University of Pittsburgh. I also, this will show my age, remember when Joe Paterno was not the coach at Penn State. Rip Engle was the coach and Paterno was his assistant. That being said, I wanted to congratulate Joe Paterno for his 409th victory and becoming the all time leader in Division 1 football. Paterno deserves this. He is not only the number one coach, he is also an example of how to have and maintain a winning program, without compromising principles. Joe has not had as much as a whiff of scandal during his 46 year reign in "Happy Valley". He has contributed over four million dollars to Penn State University and has a library wing named after him. So, Joe, congratulations and may you continue to set an example of how to succeed and continued success on the field for your Nittany Lions, except when playing Pitt.
