The agony of a Steelers defeat, and which still sting today

Grantland Rice, author of “The Tumult and the Shouting” coined a very poignant phrase. You know it. “It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game”. That’s all and good if you're eight and you’re eating out orange slices and slurping down a Capri Sun purchased by a forgetful mom minutes before game time, because she didn't remember it was her turn. But as a professional sports fan, there is sometimes little consolation.

As fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers, we have been blessed to have had a winner to root for the past 45 seasons.
