There is much joy in Steel City this evening as the Pittsburgh Steelers out ran and out hit the Ravens, in a defensive game that was reminiscent of the old Steel Curtain days in Pittsburgh.

The Steelers ended the evening by beating Baltimore 23 to 14, and ending any hopes they may have had for a Super Bowl Sunday for this year at least.

Two weeks from now, Pittsburgh will meet the Arizona Cardinals head on in the Super Bowl in Tampa.

You absolutely have to love the irony of the match. Tomlin head to head with Whisenhunt, who was of course the offensive coordinator back when the Steelers won the last Super Bowl, who went with Arizona after he was passed by for the job at Pittsburgh.

Whisenhunt left, along with his aide de camp, Russ Grimm, when Tomlin was hired, which happened somewhat unexpectedly.

Pittsburgh will now head for their day in the sun.. Tampa sun that is, for their shot at the Super Bowl, but can they get the win?

The only teams so far who have won five Super Bowls are the “niners” or the 49ers, Dallas and the Steelers. Pittsburgh would be the first team to be six time winners, and at thirty something, Tomlin will be, if his team pulls it off, the youngest coach to ever head up a Super Bowl Team.

All in all it looks to be one of the most exciting games in years.

Are you going to be there?? Not if you don’t grab those tickets now you’re not. Pittsburgh is notorious for game sellouts. The Super Bowl won’t be any exception.

Hey its playoff time again and the NFC Championship game is headed at you fast.

Arizona Cardinals and the Philadelphia Eagles are going to face off on January 18th at the University of Phoenix Stadium.

Do you have your tickets yet?

Is this a game you want to miss if you can possibly make it there?

Double treat on January 18th in point of fact, with not just the Cardinals and Eagles squaring off, but the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens going head to head in Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.

Whether you’re east or west United States, you’ve got something to do and somewhere to be on the 18th of January.

Post season football this year promises to be as exciting as its ever been, and although you can of course see the televised event, there’s just no real comparison to being there, to hearing the crowds roaring around you and the teams battling it out til the final second ticks down.

Go get your Playoff tickets and cheer your choice on to victory. Its counting down to Super Bowl now and every fan, every voice is going to count.

The NFL says that from 50,000 to nearly 90,000 people buy tickets for each game… Thats going up for the playoffs as we all know. Don’t wait til the last minute to get your tickets.

Baseball may be our national past time, but this time of year it doesn’t generally get a passing thought. This time of year is reserved for the most watched sport in the United States–football. This years football has been more than just exciting, with upsets and wins by teams we never really expected to do as well as they have.

Now of course, when it comes to good football, it doesn’t get much more exciting than the Steelers.
Now this comes, mind you from a dyed in the wool Pennsylvanian Steeler fan, but let’s face it, whats not to love about the Pittsburgh Steelers.

1974 to 1979 saw the franchise becoming the first NFL franchise to win four Super Bowl titles in six seasons, which is in fact a feat that still remains unmatched by any other team, a feat which is yet to be matched. They are still the team which was the only sixth-seeded team in NFL history to advance to a championship game; and win it, to take the Super Bowl win in 2006.

While the Cowboys are one of the most beloved teams playing, Pittsburgh too is ranked among the most popular of the teams taking the field, and this year, not without reason.

“In August 2008, ESPN.com ranked Steelers’ fans as the best in the NFL, citing their “unbelievable” sellout streak of 299 consecutive games”

This weekend will see them at their best, when they take the field against the Chargers at Heinz Field.
Do you plan to be there? There are still tickets available, but how long are they going to last?

Kickoff is 4:45 P.M.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the oldest football teams in the AFC, having been established in 1933. Their beginnings were, shall we say, somewhat less than glorious, with their first game lost to the Giants with a score of 23 to just 2 points.

They never made it to the playoffs until fifteen years later in 1947, and then didn’t win.
In the mid sixties Pittsburgh was, in reality, something of an embarrassment to Pennsylvania, even having a record horrible year in there, with a 2 and 12 year. Thankfully television wasn’t yet a household item, so we didn’t have to watch their ignominious defeats.

In all honesty, it wasn’t until the seventies when the Steelers became a household word, and one of the most loved teams of all time and a lot of that, the team owes to a man who wasn’t even a Pennsylvania native.

Terry Bradshaw, a Louisiana boy got drafted when Pa won a coin toss. Bradshaw turned the Steelers into something the state,(as a Pennsylvania native I can attest to that) and in fact the country was excited about, and they, along with Chuck Noll, set about earning themselves the “Steel Curtain” commentary that was now being applied to them.

Noll latched on to some of the best and brightest, including Mean Joe Greene, Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swan, and a few other names you’d all recognize for the Steelers.

The Steelers decade was definitely the seventies, with four Super Bowls belonging to them in that time span. 1974 and 1975, 1978 and 1979 were all Super Bowl wins for the Steelers.
Another followed about twenty years later in 2005, and Pittsburgh had arrived.

The Steelers of 2008, with a striking record and having won four of their last five games, look to be what the old Steel Curtain Steelers used to be.

Get your Steeler fix with tickets to watch them play against the Browns Sunday December 28 2008.
