"I've never seen anything like it," Steelers linebacker Larry Foote said. "I'm not going to say it was a miracle, because that's crippled people getting up and walking, the blind seeing. But that's the closest thing to it I've ever seen." That sums up Saturday's game against the Jets. I drove to the Strip District to watch the game at the Sports Rock Cafe - WOW! Wall to wall people, and the noise was deafening. A DJ switched to music during commercials, usually playing Steeler's rap or that corny polka. There were families camped out on pool tables in the loft. Had to have been over 1,000 people there. The crowd and noise were so great that I spent the second half at the Deja Vu Lounge - not many people there, but we all went absolutely nuts. The head chef came out of the kitchen, he brought the dish washer with him - everyone was watching the game at the bar, everyone screaming at the kicker to miss the field goal (he did, twice), people falling down when Ben was intercepted, and then of course Jeff Reed's field goal and everyone was embracing and jumping up and down ("dahn" - i was in the 'burgh). Check out Sports Rock Cafe!
