Posted January 18, 200620 yr comment_4335784 PITTSBURGH (AP) - Talk about a heart-stopping game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts. Fifty-year-old Terry O'Neill of Pittsburgh says he was watching the game at a bar when he had a heart attack just seconds after Steelers player Jerome Bettis' fumble at the two-yard line late in the fourth quarter. The play allowed the Colts to have a renewed chance at winning the game. O'Neill says Bettis is his hero, and he was upset with the idea the player might have ended his career with an error. "I wasn't upset that the Steelers might lose," O'Neill told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "I was upset because I didn't want to see him end his career like that. A guy like that deserves better. I guess it was a little too much for me to handle." Doctors are planning to implant a pacemaker in O'Neill to help control an irregular heartbeat along with prescribing him medication to deal with hypertension. When asked how he was feeling, O'Neill told the Tribune-Review: "The Steelers won the game and I'm still alive, so I guess I'm doing pretty good." From now on, O'Neill says he will probably just take it easy and watch future games at home.
January 18, 200620 yr comment_4335844 This seems like a good time to show just how crazed we are for the Steelers There's a morning show here called the Freak Show (named because one dude's like almost 7 feet tall and the other dude's a fat guy) who are usually ahead of the curve when it comes to stuff that ends up popular on the net. With that in mind, they enlisted Hines Ward to help them do a Steelers version of the "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" thing that was all over sites like YTMND and eBaum. I present to you Pittsburgh Steeler Time (apologies for the crap mp3 quality, it's the best I could track down). POLAMALU! POLAMALU! POLAMALU!
