The Steelers completed a great 4 win streak to enter the buy week, including yesterday’s great defensive win over the previously undefeated Vikings. They are now 5-2 and tied with Cincinnati for the AFC North Division lead.

This season has been a series of nail biters, one after another (except for Cleveland, hee, hee, hee . The Vikings game was another last minute (literally) success story. The deal was sealed because of an interception of old man Brett Favre which was run back 83 yards for 6 by none other than Atlanta’s own Keyaron Fox, who was in the game because Timmons was hurt. Come on, you can’t script this stuff. Who would believe it? How many heart attacks and strokes can be traced directly back to the Steelers this season? They are driving up the cost of health care in America. PLEEEEASE can you just CRUSH someone??? Obviously this is just greed on my part. I am happy with a win, whether it is by 1 point or 100 points. A “W” is a “W”. We’ll take it!

Seriously, the Steelers can use this buy right now. Troy is still healing, Timmons and Kirschke were hurt in the Vikings game, and several other Steelers are nicked up. The two weeks will give them some time to heal up a bit and be ready for the next (currently) undefeated team they face – the Denver Broncos in Denver on Monday Night. Rest up guys and enjoy the break.

Still alot of season to go, and no reason why they can’t defend the title again this year. Go Steelers!!!!!!

Note to Ryan ClarK: Don’t play in Denver if there is any risk to your health. It isn’t worth it! The game will wait a week for you to come back.

The Steelers won an ugly game over the Tennessee Titan on Thursday Night 13-10 in overtime. But a win is a win. There wasn’t much of a running game and it was a real defensive battle. The passing game worked though, like it did in the Super Bowl. The Steelers were able to mount two late drives, one which ended in a fumble, the other ended in a game-winning field goal.

This was also the first game at Stone Creek Tavern. We had a good crowd there and signed up a few new members! We’re off to a good start. Please join us in the future if you get a chance. The food is good, the drinks are cold and the Steelers are HOT!

Here is a picture from the first game:

The Fan Club now has a second venue! In addition to Barnacle’s, which has been our home for 20 years, the Stone Creek Tavern is now also a fan club venue! Stone Creek is a new place near the Mall of Georgia. They are located at 2720 Mall of Georgia Boulevard, which is at the corner of Woodward Crossing Blvd, across from the tag office. We have a lot of members who have moved to Buford, Sugar Hill, Winder, Hoschton, Flowery Branch, etc over the years. Stone Creek offers a location much closer to home for yins. Stone Creek Tavern offers a family friendly, non-smoking environment which is important to a lot of our members. Please join us at Stone Creek this season and help get the new venue off to a good start. Be one of the first to become “regulars” at the new place and bring your sons and daughters to continue the tradition!!! More information to follow…

This is a great, well done video tribute to the City Of Champions Steelers and Penguins. Thanks to Chuck LaRosa for sending it to us. Go Steelers!!!!!! Go Pens!!!

Pittsburgh’s nickname has been returned to the City of Champions thanks to the great game 7 win by the Penguins in Detroit and the Steelers win over the Cardinals! Way to go Pens, you make us proud to be Pittsburgh fans! Hopefully, the Pirates aren’t too far behind (its been much too long for them).

Now we need to support both of them to a repeat this season!! Can you say DYNASTY??
