(Hines Ward, Jack Lambert, Terry Bradshaw,Jerome Bettis, Franco Harris, James Harrison)
You knew that February 1, 2009, that most joyous day for Pittsbugh Steelers fans, could not possibly go without comment from me. But I'll spare you the lengthy tome on my multiple joygasms and simply recap it with pictures. Because everyone likes pictures and not everyone enjoys 5,000 word essays on the majesty of Steeler Nation.
So here's what went down:
The Cardinals were technically the "home" team, but not really
Lamar Woodley got all ninja on the Arizona Cardinals
hiiii-yaaa!
Defensive Player of the Year James Harrison made history with the longest play ever recorded in the Super Bowl.
And then he put on some Steelers Crocs
Hofstra alum Willie Colon managed to go an entire game without a false start or illegal formation penalty. Millions were shocked.
Greatest catch ever?
Your Super Bowl MVP: Santonio Holmes
(NSFW version here for you pervs)
The people rejoiced
Sorry Kurt Warner, the nuns are on our side
The Bus rejoiced
The injured Hines Ward cried happy tears
Ben Roethlisberger posed for a bunch of pictures looking like a big, dumb animal
Giant finger of doom!
Cute kids showed up
Casey Hampton
Troy Polamalu
(This baby is going to have some awesome hair with these parents)
Ike Taylor
Mewelde Moore
Coach Mike Tomlin
Then they ate the Lombardi trophy. Nom nom nom.
I think this is Marvel Smith
Ryan Clark came back from losing 2 organs, almost dying, and not knowing if he would ever play football again to being a Super Bowl champion. (This is my favorite pic.)
Mitch Berger (aka the worst punter to ever disgrace the National Football League) is also now a Super Bowl champion. He has a Super Bowl ring and Dan Marino does not. Let that sink in for a minute.
William Gay. I think this moment makes up for a lifetime of torment over his last name. And the fact that no one will ever wear his jersey, no matter how awesome he may become.
James Farrior and Larry Foote are twins y/y?
The fans in Pittsburgh went nuts. They broke a ton of shit and lit stuff on fire and generally acted like a bunch of hooligans. Then they polkaed in the street. (Yes, the Steelers have a polka.)
Over 350,000 people showed up to the victory parade Tuesday @ noon. The population of Pittsburgh is approximately 312,000.
Casey Hampton got shirtless
Steelers owner Dan Rooney wore a hat on top of a hat. Cuz he's gangsta like that.
And everyone still hates Steely McBeam
~ FIN ~
'Twas a glorious day.
