A great time to be a Pittsburgh fan

From today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

The Steelers went 12-4 against a brutal schedule, won the AFC North Division and have as much chance as any team of winning the Super Bowl.

The Penguins, though in something of a deep funk, still have Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Marc-Andre Fleury. Remember two things: Hardly anyone looked at them as a Stanley Cup favorite at this time last season, and invaluable defenseman Sergei Gonchar will be back for the playoffs.

Pitt is No. 1 in the country and could get to the Final Four.

We really are lucky.

What a great time to be a Pittsburgh sports fan.


 

Of course, it could all disintegrate on Sunday, but until then I am in seventh heaven (with Jessica Biel).
