It's a great day to be great, indeed. 15 players on injured reserve, yet the Packers never lost a game by more than 4 points all season, even almost beat the Patriots in New England with Matt Flynn at QB. I said all along they were the best, but I wasn't foolish enough to declare victory before the game was played. Much respect to the Steelers-great team, great coach, and with a few exceptions, great fans, but this was destiny.
I can't even describe what I've been feeling tonight. That was a roller coaster game. I'm exhausted mentally and emotionally, but I feel fantastic. I waited 14 years for this night. When the Packers last won, I was too young to properly appreciate it (12) and, having been spoiled by the 4 championships that my favorite NBA team, the Bulls, had won, I naively expected it to be a regular occurrence. When the White Sox won the Series in 2005, my mind was clouded by massive quantities of beer. Now that I'm older (maybe not much wiser) and sober, I was able to properly take this one in and I will cherish it forever.
