Consider this my resignation

When James Harrison returned his interception 100 yards for a touchdown right before halftime, it was clear to me that somewhere along the line, a member of the Rooney family did something very, very right in the eyes of God and he's decided to pay the Steelers back with an incomparable endowment of prolonged good fortune.

Of course, good fortune for the Steelers means bad fortune for people like me. As I vehemently rooted against them yesterday, I watched the Steelers march down the field and rip the Lombardi Trophy away from the Cardinals. Then, I watched Santonio Holmes celebrate his game-winning touchdown by mocking my favorite athlete and Cleveland's biggest ray of light. The way the game turned out wasn't as awful as I could have imagined. It was even worse.

A promise is a promise. Here's a stingingly anti-Browns song, set to the tune of Pittsburgh's latest Super Bowl song. But consider this my resignation from football, at least until the draft. As long as this torture is in the NFL...I won't be.


Here we go
Here we go
Here we go, Steelers, here we go
Pitts-burgh won another Suuuuper Bowl

Here we go
Cheer the Steelers, they're fierce and they're mean
Here we go
But at the same time, they're smart and they're keen
Here we go
When you watch them you can tell they have fun
They have six Lombardi Trophies and the Browns have none

Here we go
Here we go
Here we go, Steelers, here we go
Pitts-burgh won another Suuuuper Bowl

Here we go
The Browns and Steelers, they're rivals no doubt
Here we go
They hate each other, they scream and they shout
Here we go
But the Browns can't compete anymore
Don't forget, it isn't nine-teen sixty-four

Here we go
Here we go
Here we go, Steelers, here we go
Pitts-burgh won another Suuuuper Bowl

Here we go
Roethlisberger, he's ready to throw
Here we go
Defense blitzing, thank you LeBeau
Here we go
Reed's a player of the uppermost tier
He got more ass in Tampa than the Browns will all year

Here we go
Here we go
Here we go, Steelers, here we go
Pitts-burgh won another Suuuuper Bowl

Here we go
Super Bowl rings, they've reached the apex
Here we go
Filled out one hand, on to the next
Here we go
The Browns are hoping for a similar burst
But to win it all ya gotta make the playoffs first

Here we go
Here we go
Here we go, Steelers, here we go
Pitts-burgh won another Suuuuper Bowl


Here we go
Ward's amazing, oh yes it's a fact
Here we go
Harrison's strong, his name's Silverback
Here we go
I'd give a nickname to the Browns but I'm vexed
Do they make materials any softer than Kleenex?

Here we go
Here we go
Here we go, Steelers, here we go
Pitts-burgh won another Suuuuper Bowl

Here we go
Pittsburgh Steelers, the model franchise
Here we go
Top to bottom, they take the first prize
Here we go
In this blog I often like to be crass
When it comes to pro football FLS owns my ass

Here we go
Here we go
Here we go, Steelers, here we go
PITTS-BURGH WON ANOTHER SUUUUPER BOWL

HERE WE GO
