My prayers have been answered: The Steelers beat the Jets, 24-19.

Close!

Jets coach Rex Ryan, who may be an outstanding coach but is utterly obnoxious, has not been able to live up to his promise of delivering a Super Bowl. Was it a stupid promise to make? Not necessarily; his team certainly believes in him.

But what do you do after promising a Super Bowl and failing? Make the same promise next year? At some point, you sound silly.

Really, though, if I may revel in a little schadenfreude—how wonderful was it to see the faces of the Jets when they knew they were going to lose?

I wasn’t thrilled about rooting for the Steelers; Ben Roethlisberger is a great quarterback, but not exactly a role model.

Now, with a sigh of relief that I no longer have to read about “Gang Green,” I can safely say: Go Packers!
