Wellll... how 'bout dem Stillers?

Well, this year's playoff hopes for the Steelers are no more; but, they gave it a valiant attempt. The past few weeks have been hopeful, but Sunday's game was a disappointment. It was a long shot, anyway. Better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all, ... or something like that.

As a die-hard Steeler fan, I still look forward to this year's final game vs. the Bengals ...and to next year, ...and I'm still tempted to trash talk when remembering last year. The Super Bowl Champs gave Pittsburgh something to trash talk about. And, when the Steelers went to the White House this past summer to receive congratulations from President Bush, Ashley and Leah, along with their cousins and about 120 other fans, had the unforgettable opportunity to be there in the East Room to see it. Remarkably, they were only a few feet away from the President, but that was almost an afterthought with the team standing behind him.


So, as we kiss the hopes for a repeat this year goodbye, allow me to reminice with a few photos...
