    Ive never seen someone so big move so fast, I miss the bus, and you better believe I saw him get what he deserved in Canton becoming immortalized. I'll never forget his comment, " We may be in Canton Ohio, but were in steelers country". What a guy.

      One of the great reg seasons I've ever seen kinda at a time when the game was changing one the great state seasons I seen inflated stattics and handled most teams to where u knew the game was over u could see the teams where down I almost think there were some bad calls kinda like how the tourments sead sometimes u see it all thetime ok especially in the 2 to 3 u will see teams sandbag kinda like a pool league players will lose to keep there ranking down and the match makers have all the power but any coach will tell u it's there responsibility to win regardless but one the reg seasons I ever seen

    This was the best sports experience of my life. Every game, as a Steelers season ticket holder, we tried to help make a fairy tale ending come true for The Bus. We had to win out in December just to be the 6th seed in the playoffs. Like he said, "we all won this championship." That night in Detroit, we raised our fists in the air and cried happy tears for the sheer beauty of it all. Love for #36!

      @@Rjamojam54321 a fb is more of a power/short yardage runner, a hb is more of a speed/big yardage runner. For example, on the one yard line, most teams will run their fb because they are harder to bring down. Nowadays that is about all fbs are used for besides blocking for the hb but they used to get the ball a lot more than they do now.

      That makes no sense. Any team that goes to the Super Bowl will create a bandwagon fanbase. The only reason why you're seeing so many so called Seahawks 'bandwagons' now is because of social media. Seattle has sold out every home game since their 2003 season. Even in 2008-2011 season when the Seahawks weren't as good, they still sold out at home.
