Colts? Steelers.

Despite being 9-1/2 point underdogs, the Steelers beat the Colts in Indianapolis’a noisy dome yesterday. Despite having to walk five flights of stairs from the cold ground, my friends filled my apartment with support, beer, and goodwill while I had several heart attacks during the game.
Here’s some links:
– Post Gazette recap.
– Deadspin blogs the roller coaster fourth quarter.
– Len Pasquerelli says that The Tackle was not the only amazing thing that Ben Rothlesberger did yesterday.
– Steelers’ Post-game Quotes / Colts’ Post-game Quotes. Manning’s defense and offensive line were cold as ice the first three quarters, but still the only word he should use in the press conference is “me.” My favorite quote is from the Steelers’ resident rabble-rouser, Joey Porter:

“I don’t even know what to say because I don’t know if the league will fine me for saying we got cheated out there today. But on that play right there, that man caught the ball, got on the ground, was getting up, and knocked the ball out with his knee. I mean, I know they wanted Indy to win this game. The whole world loves Peyton Manning, but come on man, don’t take the game away from us. That play right there, they tried to take the game away from us.”

– Unless if you like losing money, don’t trust Bill Simmons’ football picks. Eff the Pats.

Thanks to everyone for coming! I don’t really remember the second game or any of you leaving, but I hope I hugged you good-bye.

Next weekend I will be in London teaching soccer hooligans what real football is and how obnoxious a fan can be. I’ve already packed the Terrible Towel.
