Steal Curtain CallJust when it seemed the Ravens had solved the Steelers' vaunted D, poof! Pittsburgh snagged another Super Bowl berth.

Outstanding graphic there Martin...just saw Troyb being interviewed by local media. Wow he is so soft and well spoken. No bravado...just calm...said he read Flacco’s eyes...sometimes it works...and he gets ‘lucky.’
For the next two weeks, we will be reminded of Mike Tomlin’s race...”

That’s a good bet.
Thus far, I’ve only heard mention of his age.
We’ve already had the all black SB coach game, and it was recent. Second black SB winner just isn’t that big a deal.
Oh I’m so happy I just hope I can find something to do Superbowl Sunday, think I’ll go fishing. Sounds better than watching the Steelers again. There so boring I can’t see why there not in the NFC.
1st to 4, 3rd to 5, and maybe 1st to 6. Good case for the greatest franchise in modern history.
Tomlin is a really great coach and motivator. He was smart enough to keep Dick LeBeau on as defensive coordinator. The national drive bys may try to draw this the Bamster...but its racists on their part. Tomlin is not an affirmative action hire.
NFC: Federation of Intellectual Giants!
Theres another reason to hate the Steelers.
I really like Tomlin, and it’s the little things. Like putting the star player of the day in the victory formation, having the simple team rule of “don’t be that guy”, every time I see an interview with him I like him more. Hope he stays with the Steelers for a really really long time.
Success?
You hate them for their success?
I think the lad has a friendly smile...

Yes, he will be the youngest coach to win a SB (if they win, of course).
I said ‘if’ because I am gracious like that :)
you may want to enlighten this guy, since you are so in the know about the Steelers
I think Tomlin will be here as long as he wants to be here. The Rooneys trusted Noll and Cowher w/the franchise...they let them decide when it was time to as Noll used to say ‘get on with their live”s work.’. They are doing the same w/Tomlin.
He deserves better than 0bama comps...
Bill Chower left him a pretty good team to start with. That said, my hat is off to him. Just because he had great players does not automaticaly mean victory. Look at the Cowboys
