As much as it pains me to say it, probably one of the best organizations of all time in ANY sport, especially given the way the NFL operates compared to the NBA, MLB. Admittedly, my NHL knowledge is lacking. Among the three big boy leagues (in the US), I gotta give the Steelers the nod.


Over the Yankees? Lakers? Celtics? Red Sox? No way.


As much as I hate to say it, the Yankees are probably the most dominant historically in the four major sports.

Even though it's a 6:30 game tonight, , me and my fam are heading downtown to tailgate for this huge fucking game at 8 a.m. Going to be a frigid and lung-shattering one out there. 0 degrees now, 10 degrees at kickoff with a windchill to make it feel like 3 degrees. Now that's Pittsburgh football in January. GB/Chi, NY.Jets/Pittsburgh: The ticket to Super Bowl 45.



Green Bay @ Chicago: Two of the NFL's oldest franchise's and fiercest rivalry's is set in a playoff matchup, which is incredible to learn that this is only the 2nd meeting for these two ancient teams in the post-season. Green Bay, acting as a 6th seed travels to Soldier Field to take on a team known for it's punishing defense. Still, Green Bay got a good one of their own and will look to confuse liability Jay Cutler in the process. If it wasn't for the quarterback position, which I give to stud QB Aaron Rodgers, then I'd give CHI the edge, but with Rodgers playing lights out and with Cutler due to have an interception fest, just like I've been saying since the pre-season, I like the Pack in Dallas.

Green Bay by 7.
Final score: 24-17.



N.Y Jets @ Pittsburgh: As soon as the Jets beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh in December, I was hoping we'd see this team again. With both teams coming off of huge emotional wins against bitter, personal rivals, this is set to be an in your face, defensive grudge match. Even though the Jets beat the Steelers earlier, they did so without Troy Polamalu and Heath Miller in the lineup, two key veterans that mean a significance amount in their roles. Mark Sanchez is still protected and I think Pittsburgh shuts down their run game and forces Sanchez to beat them, which I don't see happening. He's still a second year player, one that can be viciously confused against a LeBeau, playoff style defense. If the Jets win, I won't even be angry. They will earn it (going through Indy, N.E and Pitt) and I will tip my hat to them. I just don't see that happening. Pittsburgh should punch their ticket to their 8th Super Bowl appearance.

Steelers by 17.
Final score: 27-10.

Baseball comparisons are irrelevant. Terrible league and only getting worse. You have to throw out anything any baseball team has done in the last 30~ years and consider it then. Even then, how would the Red Sox be a better organization than the fuckin Steelers? Need I remind you they went 86 years without a title?

As far as the Celtics go: Great organization, but don't forget they have gone through extended periods of awfulness, with their most recent stretch being just before they consummated the big three and Rondo came into his own. Also, basketball dynasties are once again a bit less impressive than football dynasties, given the difference just ONE player makes. Take Russell off those Celtics teams and you're most likely talking about 11 fewer championships.

Building a consistently great football organization, as the Steelers have done, is the most impressive. There are a lot more moving pieces, parts, and philosophies you have to fit together to do what they've done. Throw in the NFL's salary/draft structure to boot, and you have one hell of an impressive achievement.

I will now go hang myself in my Browns gear. Good knowing you all.

This is a good omen for the Steelers.

Every time Flower puts on a Steeler bucket after a Penguin win, the Steelers also win.

Cool to see the tight relationship between the Steelers and the Penguins. Now, if the Pirates would just win 33% of their games....

I'm hoping for a Packer-Steelers Superbowl. 8) I've always liked the Steelers organization and their fans. I think it would be a great matchup. :D

I would be SHOCKED if a Jet - within the next 12 months - doesn't suffer a career-ending injury from a vicious hit, due to all the mouth-flapping they're doing. Their idiotic tale ends today in Pittsburgh. FUCK YOU, Ryan.

14-0. Way to go Packers! I hope the Jets beat the Steelers just because I think Green Bay would have a better shot in the SB against NY. :D

Steelers over the Jets in my book, and there is no way either the Bears or the Pack can bet the Jets or Steelers. Just completely unimpressed with that Im watching right now.

Yeah, they intercepted. Duh. But before that, it could have happened. Fact is, you started this with 15 min left, and that was ridiculous. I really didn't care who won this one anyway. I just think the Bears had a good turn around. Too bad it was too late.

I said it was over when the Packers took a 21-7 lead, after what I believed was 1 too many mistakes for their impotent offense to overcome. And I was right. I've only been watching football for 34 years. What do I know?

And the bears proceded to make 2 touchdowns after that, had the ball, and almost tied it. You'd think you'd know they COULD have won after that many years of watching.
