I hope everyone enjoyed the game last night — and those of you who wear pacemakers have had the contraptions recalibrated.
Ich bin ein Pittsburgher, having moved here in 1986. But even when I was growing up on the east side of the state (Eagles territory), I was a Steelers fan. Since I never grew, my Franco Harris jersey fit me till it was threadbare.
I considered concocting an ironic post gleaned from Tertullian’s polemic on The Games. But I concluded that it would be unfair, today, to restart our conversation over whether the guy was a heretic.

I wanted the Cardinals to win yesterday–I love Kurt Warner from his time here in St. Louis–but what a fantastic game! And yes, football has some similarities to Roman forms of entertainment, with the notable difference that usually no one dies.
