my god, they were right. i feel all...empty inside.
Wait; maybe that's a violent spasm of pride I'm feelin'. Yeah. That's it. My bad.
Yep, the Steelers got their rings today. Or to put it in terms with which you're more familiar: today Jerome Bettis, the future hall of famer whose parents never missed a game and who concluded his storied career in his hometown of Detroit, received his Super Bowl ring. Him and several dozen of his closest friends, who may or may not have also been from Detroit.
True story: when Chuck Noll received his ring for Super Bowl XIII, he joked that if you pressed a button, it flipped open and you could "hear a recording of Tom Landry bitching about the officiating."
