LOL - That's pretty good!

Sounds more like a prophecy for the Steelers. LOL! I would like the Cardinals to win, but unless they do a big turn around after half time, they are not going to win. The Steelers blasted out of the gate from the get go.

Yep.

I'm trying to stay optimistic and hope for a miracle!

My friend just sent this to me. I know it's long, but hey, it's half-time. You've got the time to read thru and won't even miss the game. Of course, you might miss a little bit of Springsteen, but............

Anyhow, I don't know how true it is or not. Anyone know?

Members of the Steeler Nation know all too well the story of the Terrible Towel.

It was a brainchild of beloved and dearly departed Myron Cope during the Noll
Dynasty. The magic of the towel lasted beyond the retirement of Chuck Noll,
maintained its staying power throughout the entire Cowher age, and is still
going strong in the early years of the Tomlin era. The towels are manufactured
in Wisconsin by Chippewa River Industries. Proceeds from the sale of the towels
benefit Chippewa, which employs the mentally disabled, and helps to pay for
their care. Myron Cope also collected royalties and donated all of them to the
Allegheny Valley School a special needs place where his autistic son is a
resident. Before he died, Cope bequeathed the Towel rights to the school,
ensuring proper care for his son and for many others.

What you may not know is that greed has found its way in to this benevolent
endeavor. The NFL is quietly working on a promotion to produce larger towels
for every other team in the league besides the Steelers. They plan to unveil
this gimmick after the conference championships this week and push it through
the super bowl. The plan is to market these towels and capture the enthusiasm
of the super bowl contestants. To get things moving, free towels were handed
out at every stadium during the divisional playoffs this week. You may have
seen the Tennessee fans waving those powder blue things. Of course, they would
not have brought their own. Did anyone notice the complete backfire?
All the home teams lost EXCEPT the Steelers!

This is why the Steelers need to win the Superbowl. The sanctity of the
Terrible Towel must be preserved. Also of note:

After the 2005 season members of the Cincinnati Bengals, AFC North division
champs, stomped all over the Terrible Towel before their playoff game with the
wild card Steelers. The Bengals still have not recovered from their loss that
day. The Steelers went on to win their Fifth Super Bowl.

On Dec. 21, 2008, members of the Titans stomped on the towel. Three weeks later,
the Titans took an early dismissal from the playoffs. Early on in that game with
the Ravens, many fans were waving their freebie blue towels marked TITANS!
Later, as the rain began to fall, and it got colder, they put the towels on
their necks to stay warm. Appropriately, as the game went on, their necks began
to TIGHTEN! And their team choked.

If the Steelers win the Superbowl this year, they will have to win two games
against teams named after birds. Then the opposing fans can use their new
towels to clean up all the bird stuff. Also, a Steeler Super Bowl victory
will make the sacrilegious theft of the spirit of the Terrible Towel the worst
marketing idea since the NFL network!

I dunno... have "the birds feed on you..." usually means you're dead and lying on the field and the buzzards are picking at your bones.

All Warner had to do was throw it in the dirt and he could have tied the game!

Getting ready to go home. Home the drunks are staying put for the duration.
