Here it is: post about sports you're playing, watching, or controlling via video game. For me, it's Madden 2002 on the GameCube (awesome game), but most of all, it's watching the Pittsburgh Steelers this year...they're 11-2 and, even if the Rams win tonight, they'll still be tied for the best record in the NFL. If the Rams lose, they'll own the title outright.
This has been an amazing year. They lost their opener badly, won 5 in a row, then lost a VERY close game because their kicker missed 4 field goals (almost unheard of in the NFL), then reeled off 6 in a row, which is where they now stand. If their kicker had been half-competent in that game, they'd, hypothetically be 12-1 with 12 straight wins. As it stands now, they have 3 games left, all against sub-par opponents...the next against a 1-12 team.
I thought they'd lose at least one of their last two games (against the Jets and Ravens...two good teams), but they've won them both, even with Jerome Bettis sitting them both out. I figured them to go 12-4 a couple of weeks ago, but 13-3 seems likely, and maybe even 14-2, if they keep up this torrid pace. Amazing! What a year...
Anyway, they won 26-21 last night against Baltimore, the defending champs. Great, great game...the score is misleading, however; the Steelers pushed them around all d*mn day.
