Have a happy birthday, you!
We'll have a great day, too!
Everybody play,
It's Ben's special day,
Happy Birthday!
I'm popping in to say Happy 27th Birthday to my favorite TWO-TIME Super Bowl winning quarterback! 
I know he was out in Las Vegas throwing a Super Bowl victory party on Friday, February 27, but I'm not sure if he'll spend his birthday there.
Yeah, I know I missed the season, but I'm superstitious, and since the Steelers were doing well, I didn't want to jinx them. I do want to say that I am a genius. The dream I had was the Steelers winning another Super Bowl, but in my dream, it was against the Giants, not the Cardinals. Even though the Steelers and Giants had already played earlier in the season (and we lost!), I still wanted that epic Ben vs. Eli showdown on the big stage.
The game itself has been rehashed to death (and there are those trying to take it away from the Steelers), but it went down to the wire (like soooooooooo many of the games this season), and Pittsburgh came out on top. I'm happy that Ben got to redeem his play from Super Bowl XL, but the fact that once again people keep saying the refs helped us out (yeah, that holding call on our center Justin Hartwig in the endzone to give the Cardinals a safety for 2 points really gave us the game), makes me wish that the game had been like a 42-10 blowout, so there's no doubt. Eff all the haters, because that last drive Ben had was fucking epic! All the Cardinals defense had to do was stop an 88-yard drive for a TD. It would have been 78 yards, but of course our OL had a holding penalty. First to six Super Bowl wins! 
I'm not 100% sure, but I might be using this entry to mark my return, we'll have to wait and see, but since it's now the NFL off-season, the posts will most likely be few and far in between.
Quick hits:
- Lost is still the best show ever!
- Leverage is second best. That show is awesome, and I'm really happy that it will be picked up for a second season, and that it starts in the summer. They start shooting it in April. Christian Kane is really hot, but that's not why I watch it, just a bonus.
- NFL pussy ass commissioner Roger Goodell can still DIAF! Seriously, get on that Roger.
- CBS can join the commissioner seeing that the cancelled Swingtown. Ugh, it's like most of the shows I really liked got cancelled: Women's Murder Club, Dirty Sexy Money, The Riches, Big Shots; this has never happened to me before.
- Thank god Psych is still doing well. The season finale was awesome. On the flip side, I got tired of Monk, I just couldn't take him anymore.
- Everything Old is New Again Moment: I recently watched the Fred Astaire movie Royal Wedding and it had this song in it called How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Loved You When You Know I've Been a Liar All My Life. Holy crap, that has to be one of (if not the) longest song titles ever. I know it's the longest in MGM movie history. The movie was all right, it's most famous because it's the one where Fred dances on the ceiling but the number for How Could You Believe etc., was my favorite.
- Back up QB Charlie Batch got injured during a pre-season game, so we brought in Byron Leftwich. I'm really happy for Byron that he got a Super Bowl ring; even happier that it will have a Steelers logo on it.
- I can't wait to see what the ring looks like, but I'll most likely have to wait until June.
- I'm not sure if this counts, but Ben finally started all 16 games this season! Unfortunately, he got injured in two of them, against the Redskins and last regular season game against the Browns, and actually left on a stretcher during the latter game. He had a "spinal concussion", whatever that is. But he still came back two weeks later and led his team through the playoffs and a Super Bowl win. The man is all kinds of awesome.
- If Ben makes it long enough, he's going to break John Elway's career sack record. I know he idolized him, but I don't think this is what he meant. He took 46 sacks this season (1 less than last year, but he sat out the final regular season game in 2007, so that's better?). The last three seasons he's been sacked 46, 47, 46. Work on that, Love.
- I got into live-blogging during the games on my second favorite Steelers fan blog, One for the Other Thumb. It was really awesome. I hope to do it again next season.
- Even though New England quarterback was out for the season, the beatdown the Steelers unleashed on the Patriots was awesome.
- New England went 11-5 without New England quarterback, and didn't make the playoffs.
- On ESPN, they had a segment where they discussed who would be the dominate athlete for the next decade, and NFL player they came up with was Matt Ryan. Okay.
I bet it tastes better than cake. I bet he tastes better than cake, as well. 
I'm phasing.
