I remember the way I felt in 2006.
I remember when the Steelers beat Jake Plummer and the Denver Broncos and advanced to Super Bowl XL. I was overwhelmed with joy, excitement, and ultimate satisfaction as a fan to watch my favorite team advance to the biggest game in professional sports.
I stayed up all night watching Sportscenter and read any internet blog or article that I could find for two weeks because I just could not get enough of hearing about how great my team was and the fact that they would finally be able to return to the Super Bowl and hunt down that elusive “one for the thumb.”
Is it strange that I no longer have those feelings as a fan anymore?
Fast forward five years and two Lombardis à Of course I was excited today to see the Steelers advance to another championship game, but please excuse me if all of the winning has sucked out the majority of the emotion I once felt. Don’t get me wrong, I love watching my favorite team become a dynasty during the most prime years for me as a fan. However, to be completely honest, it just doesn’t feel as good as it used to. I would dare to say that a Pirates trip to the post-season would be far beyond any outcome today or in two weeks.
