super bowl xlv

The Steelers are going to the Super Bowl, which means it's my favorite time of the year: the days are getting longer, the rains are getting lighter, and person after person seeks me out to inform me that they're rooting against my team. Because I simply need to know this, dammit.

Postscript: "It's because you guys have won so many!" writes a Seattle reader. (Aside to everyone else: Yeah. I know. This is my lot in life.)

Um, for the record, the Packers have won twice as many championships. That would be twelve, the last one being in 1997. It's why their nickname is "Titletown."
