Lubeck Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 A certain media personality who I won't name puts forth the perfect hypothesis that explains why the Steelers would be given such consideration. Our understanding of history and our appreciation of it begins on the day we are born. Meaning anything that happened before we are born is irrelevant. That is why a team with only recent success would be given the kind of accolades you are highlighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the Steelers argument, they have had only three coaches in forty years, they are 5-1 so far probably 6-1 in the super bowl, but i got consider they're success of only the past 35 years. I left off teams like Miami,Washington, Oakland, San Francisco of late none of them have done anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
