Bill Cowher's Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas 
in a Burgh that I know 
The stadium was empty 
and the lights did not glow 

The uniforms hung 
in the lockers with pride 
with the helmets, with emblems 
on only one side 

The players and coaches 
had been gone for a while 
I sent them home early 
with a holiday smile 

So I cleared off my desk 
and was ready to leave 
to spend time at home 
on this Christmas eve 

When out by the lockers 
I heard a loud clatter 
I ran from the office 
to see what was the matter 

I ran down the hall 
just as fast as can be 
and stopped at the door 
I was trying to see 

I heard someone walking 
some concern this did cause 
Then I gasped when I 
saw it was Santa Clause 

He was dressed not in red 
but in gold trimmed with black 
and I watched as he pulled 
all the gifts from his sack 

Some fumbles, some pics, 
and some sacks for the "D" 
And a ball for Kris Brown 
that flies straight as can be 

The receivers got touchdowns 
A long bomb for Slash 
and a defensive back 
for the Bus to smash 

Every player and coach 
got a gift of some kind 
but what would he leave me? 
Lots of thoughts crossed my mind 

I watched as he carried 
his bag down the hall 
but he started to leave 
he left me nothing at all 

So with fire in my eyes 
and spit on my lip 
I yelled 'cross the room 
"Hey man what's your trip" 

"I watched as you gave 
all those gifts to my crew 
but you're giving me nothing 
what wrong did I do?" 

He turned and he smiled 
and he said just one thing 
"When you get to New Orleans 
you'll get your Super Bowl ring"
