24-10 and life is still great/awful/normal/fun/boring/life. The Buckeyes are playing for the national championship, the Steeler's are having a playoff bound year, and I have a bunch of friends that really don’t like either of them.
The Steelers dominate the Bengals. Life goes on. It doesn’t really affect anything – really.

I was in a Steeler’s Bar/Restaurant last night with some friends. If there were 150 people there, 80 of them had Steeler’s jerseys, 30 had Steeler’s shirts, 35 of them were just hoping they’d win while not wearing the ‘ol black and gold….and you know….there were five other people just chillin. At one point two Bengals fans walked through the place and I got a quick glimpse at how annoying Steeler’s fans can be towards Bengals fans. I’ve experienced the reverse countless times. Apparently we’re all annoying, I just don’t get to see that side of Steelers fans living in this city too often.
I remember talking in my neighbor’s yard this summer as he told me that the AFC North would be the toughest division, “even though the Steelers are going to be awful”. I remember people laughing at the Steeler’s win over the Browns – it was a joke win over a joke team…that later ended up beating up on their team.
One of the comments on Annie’s blog “The Bengals will finish with a better record than the Steelers...”
And after all of this, the Steelers have clinched another winning season - they're 2-0 against the Bengals, and a lot of people went nuts at the Steeler’s bar tonight.
And really that doesn’t affect that much in my life or yours. (unless you’re reading this Big Ben?) We worship sports. We pour our time, money and energy into watching grown men play playground games. It’s actually a lot of fun, so I get it…but it’s just a child’s game.
I can say this because my team won – it doesn’t ultimately matter. If I say this after my favorite team loses, it sounds like the guy that pretends not to care just because my team is awful.

So today I’ll think about, and maybe even pursue, some of the things that do matter… Anybody up for a game of euchre?
I hate the Steelers and the Buckeyes. Clearly, this whole universe is against me.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the Steelers, but I do like euchre.
ReplyDeleteGo Bucks.
Congratulations on beating the Bengals once again. Better coaching, better personnel, better front office...I really admire the way the Steelers go about their business.
ReplyDeleteI love the Steelers! You weren't at Martino's on Vine were you? Hate the Buckeyes though do I.
