I've never felt so empty being right. I feel dirty. I wish I'd been wrong. The Steelers did not deserve to win this game. They were not the better team. O'Connor was right. Seattle was the better team.I was on the Hawks, but shit happens. Congrats to all the Steelers fans. Even though I lost, I'm happy for the city and the Bus :O)
