Blessing in Disguise?

SPOILER WARNING - DO NOT READ THIS ENTRY IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AT THE END OF THE NFL SEASON

Steelers' second year safety Anthony Smith guaranteed a victory against the New England Patriots. The Steelers were humbled by the Patriots on Sunday evening in a lopsided 31-13 defeat. So, Anthony Smith was wrong, right? Wrong. He wasn't refering to the game played this past Sunday. He was talking about the contest that will be played on January 11th at Gillette Stadium. That's right, folks, the AFC championship game. Anthony was and is still guaranteeing a Steelers win en route to their 2nd Super Bowl in three years. In 2004, the Steelers faced the record-winning Patriots in the regular season before being cheat - I mean beat by the Pats in the AFC title game. The following year, the Steelers lost to the Colts and the Bengals (in their second meeting) during the regular season before manhandling them both in the playoffs. In all these situations the losing team figured out what it did right, what it did wrong, did a little soul searching, came back and beat the previous winners. It would have been nice to ruin Brady's and Bellicheat's perfect season, but even if they do go 16-0 it will make it all the sweeter when we eviscerate them in the AFC championship game in Foxboro. That is not only an Anthony Smith guarantee, but a curbingmyenthusiasm guarantee as well. Enjoy the remainder of the season and playoffs!

Elie, give it up, you are just going to deapen the wound. Haven't we learned our lesson once. Don't get me wrong, I am all for the Steelers, and it is very possible that they will beat the Belicheats, but a guarantee is not the way to go. Besides when Brady visits the blog it'll psyche him up even more - he might even text u something some trash talk about they score the first touchtown.
