Hines Ward gripped a near-empty bottle of non-alcoholic champagne and joked that he had stolen it from the New York Jets, who had boasted that they and their fans would be drinking the bubbly.
“I’m sleeping with this bottle tonight,” Ward proclaimed after the jubilation around him in the Steelers locker room had calmed down.
Ward had just performed his as-promised Heinz Field leap, joining fans in the stands to celebrate the Steelers’ eighth trip to a Super Bowl after they prevailed against the New York Jets, 24-19, Sunday night in the AFC championship.
It’s going to be a very pleasant couple of weeks in the ‘Burgh, that’s for sure . . . .

here we go…
Not for everyone….. there are a very few of us, dear Rector, who will be glad when life can return to normal! Plus I know two Packer fans (one in your parish). I think I’m a marginalized victim. (just kidding…. Go Steelers, or whatever). But there will NOT be a cantus firmus “Here we go Steelers” in even an inner voice in the lead to the doxology.
