I love the Steelers, but . . .

I hate this song. One reason that I am glad I am not in Pittsburgh is that I no longer hear this song. Seriously, if you call a random 412 area code number, you will hear this song in the background when they answer, and then again if they put you on hold. It will be the opening hymn in churches.

There are lots of other good Steeler songs, which makes me wonder why this one won't die. Anyway, without further ado: "Here we go"

James Harrison

Highlights of this video.

1. The tackle of an obnoxious Brown's fan.

2. A rap song that samples the NFL today theme song, quite well.

3. James Harrison drilling a number of hapless, helpless QBs.

4. James Harrison on an interception return, leaping OVER Ladamian Tomlinson (may it happen again)

4. A great season for the Steelers.
