Derrick - "I envy you" - last time I was able to enjoy a Pittsburgh Victory was back in 1960 with the
Pirates winning the World Series over the Yankees, that was a great day and I believe last night was
super for all Pittsburghers and hopefully in two weeks an even bigger celebration!!!!
I am sure the 1/2 million Steeler fans scattered all over the Globe enjoyed it as much as I did!
