Choose from the following (or add your own)

1) Winning an AFC Title game at home.
2) Laying down an ass whooping on murdering Ray Lewis and his thugs
3) Big Ben's error-free play at QB
4) Troy finally getting a long-overdue pick-six.
5) FWP finally rushing for over 100yds.
6) Santonio's awesome punt return for a TD.
7) Ryan Clark lighting up McGahee (and yes, we're all glad they're both ok)

For me, it's #1 and #2. Could you imagine if Baltimore had won and we'd have to listen to those shit-talkers all off-season? It was extremely satisfying to watch them get beat at their own game. The bad-ass bruiser Baltimore Ravens got smacked around like little girls all night. Only some questionable officiating and some Steeler's butterfingers kept them in the game. Here's to Big Ben getting us through the toughest schedule we've ever had and putting us in position for #6 !!!

a chance at a 6th ring, made much sweeter that they pulled it off in front of a fired up home crowd. so definitely #1

My favorite is definately winning the AFCC at home. I also love watching the sack Woodley laid on Rivers back near the goal line 2 weeks ago.

Winning the AFCC at home...just because it was against the Ravens, and it was the third time we beat them this season, and they cried after the 2nd loss. Perfect storm of satisfaction.

seeing a lonely terrible towel on the edge of the back of the endzone on troy's td. i like to think that was a message from my brother who was killed tragically back in february of last year. maybe a little i'm here watchin little brother...as troy was his favorite player, even had hair long and curly like troy's.

I think everyone will have the same #1.

1. Winning an AFC Title Game at home. Watching them celebrate in Heinz was a tearful moment. After all of those heart break losses, this was the time to soak it all in and watching them dance out there was just livin' life.

2. The fans. Stiller Nation is the best in sports, and nothing against lower sections, but the maniacs are up top, and I was privileged enough to get to enjoy this home stand with them at both games. + 6,0000 for Stiller Fans!

3. Holmes's runback against the Chargers. My father and friend can actually vouch for me that I called the run back before it happend. When the ball was in the air I stated " We're going to run this back because we are disgustingly overdue." He took it back and the crowd erupted. I was actually on some dudes head and he responded by huggin me.

4. Re-emergence of Ben. Ben has had an outstanding post season, and had a lot of doubt coming in with dealing with a concussion, and a so-so offensive line. Looks like he got back to "Backyard Ben" and that's where he is most dangerous. Kudos to the Oline as well.

5. Being able to be spoiled enough to watch the best player in todays NFL, and that is Troy Polamalu. This man is a freak, and I believe he is from the planet Krypton. Watching him is such a joy, that sometimes I just key on him with my jaw in awe. He IS a Pittsburgh Steeler.

6. Hines Ward. Nuff Said!

7. Cya in Tampa!!!!

Agreed:
Holmes's runback against the Chargers. Because not only was it the momentum changing play of the game, but the fact that a Charger (Wilhelm?) slapped him five in the endzone after the runback. I've never seen anything like it and I couldn't believe my eyes....WTF? I had to watch it over and over when I got back home to believe it.

Thus far, it is the AFCCG win at home.

This makes up for all of the heartbreak and all of the bullshit of having to listen to the Patriots fans up here. Woulda been sweeter if the Patsies had made it and being able to send them home packing, but hopefully that chance will come in the near future.

Tired of hearing sports talk radio bitch about how the Pats/Steelers game was so much closer than the score indicated and if they had just won that game, what might have been.

I need to move.

Holmes played with Wilhelm at Ohio State. Goes to show you the bond that is created by college football and a coach like Tressel.
