[Vision2020] More important issue: Pittsburgh beats Colts

[Tom Hansen]

Yo Joe!

Do you know what absolute true love is?

Knowing a Cowboys fan and still liking them.

Hey, I'm a die-hard Raiders fan-atic (have been since Daryl Lamonica).  I am
a dead-in-the-wool Dodgers fan (have been since Charlie Neal took his first
ground ball from second base at the LA Coliseum).  I am a never-say-die
Vandal.

With me losing isn't a disappointment.  It's a lifestyle. 

GO STEELERS !

While we're all confessing our football sins, I'll admit that I'm a Cowboys
fan! Or at least I was for a long time. Lately, I'm more of a Giants fan,
since I'm from Jersey.

Why did I LOVE the Cowboys so much? The short answer is Roger Staubach! The
long answer is my sister Eileen's boyfriend Howard -- who later became her
first and worst husband -- who was a big fan. In a house with 5 women -- 6
when my grandmother visited -- there was little chance of the youngest child
and only boy in the house watching any football. But Howard had special
privileges. Whenever the Cowboys were on TV -- and that was often in the
70's -- Howard came over to our house to watch. Let me tell you, they may
trash the Cowboys these days -- and for good reason -- but if you've ever
seen Roger Staubach in action, it would be hard not to like them. It didn't
matter what the score was; there was always a chance to win with him behind
center. Very exciting days!

I'm hoping for a Steelers/Seahawks Super Bowl. But I can't see anyone
beating Denver in January. By the way, this is the solution to the question,
Why did Minnesota, Buffalo, and Denver all go 0-4 in their first four Super
Bowls? The weather! All were rock-solid with home-field advantage in the
playoffs and the likelihood of snow. But once you got them on a neutral,
sunny turf it was a different story.
