Happy Hannukah!

One of the great miracles that Hannukah commemorates is the great military victory that the Maccabees enjoyed over the Syrian-Greeks. We praise and thank God for this in the special prayer of ''viyal hanisim - bimei matisyahu''. It is important for us to look into our own lives and our own victorious battles and to formulate our own prayers of gratitude and praise. In the past 48 hours we have witnessed giboirim (Patriots) byad chalushim (Ravens), rabbim (Browns) byad miatim (officials) timmayim (Rangers) byad tihoirim (Hurricanes) rishoim (Cayotes) byad tzadikim (Penguins) and finally, zeidim (Bengals) byad oiskei soirasecha (STEELERS). True, the Ravens didn't finish the job, and it's not because they aren't chalashim, however, it is only fitting that the Steelers burst Bellicheat's perfect bubble as they did in the 2005 season when the Pats were on their record setting winning streak. There will be more on this matchup later in the week, but for now, Curbing would like to extend happy, healthy, and productive Hannukah wishes to all of our readers and their families.

Pats are gonna roll over Pittsburgh, have an undefeated regular season, and then, in Glendale Arizona, Romo and the 'Boys will take care of business.
