The Super Bowl is upon us. Soon Womens Jerome Bettis Jersey , the most important football game in the history of western civilization will take place (for this year, anyway), when the New England Patriots take on the Los Angeles Rams for the right to be called kings of the National Football League (again, just for this year).So, who do I think will win Super Bowl LIII? As a writer who comes to you from my one-bedroom apartment in Crafton, Pa., home of the legendary Bill Cowher, it’s likely you were just waitingfor my opinion with the proverbial bated breath.As a die-hard Steelers fan since the moment I watched them vanquish the Los Angeles Rams (ironically enough) in Super Bowl XIV way back on January 20, 1980, I naturally want Los Angeles to win. This would give the Rams their second Super Bowl title and fourth championship in franchise history (yes, some franchises that won championships before the advent of the Super Bowl actually count them—they may even have trophies and stuff). More importantly, it would prevent New England from tying the Steelers with six Lombardi trophies, a point of pride for black and gold faithful for a decade now Jerome Bettis Jersey , even if the Green Bay Packers (13 world championships), Chicago Bears (nine world championships) and New York Giants (eight world championships) are all, “We got your pride right here!”However, since it’s debatable whether or not pre-Super Bowl championships actually count anymore, let’s stick to Lombardi trophies and the Patriots quest to tie Pittsburgh. Nobody really wants it to happen. I mean, even in cities without a dog in the fight, people really want New England to lose. Why? It’s about time the Patriots dynasty crumbles to the ground—something that will happen once Tom Brady actually retires and/or some other team in the AFC East realizes it’s allowed to try and win many games. Will the dynasty begin to crumble in Super Bowl LIII? Probably not. The Patriots have lost Super Bowls before (take last year, for example), yet it hasn’t stopped them from appearing in more Super Bowls (take this year, for example). Therefore, I don’t see New England losing to the Rams. Don’t get me wrong, Los Angeles will spend about 90 percent of the game giving youthe impression the Patriots are toast (there will be memes posted by halftime declaring the king dead). Unfortunately, much like the Seahawks and Falcons James Conner Jersey , someone on the Rams will lend New England a helping hand (say, for example, by passing at the goal line, instead of giving the football to Todd Gurley or that C.J. Anderson fella; or taking a sack when you’re in field goal range and only need three points to seal the deal). And if that doesn’t work, the officials will overturn some call without conclusive evidence to do so or uphold some call with clear visual evidence to overturn it—you know which team will benefit in either case. And if neither of those things happen, some team from the AFC East will show up and play in the Rams place for at least a quarter. And even if the Bills don’t show up, well, Brady is pretty awesome, as is Belichick (although, he’s more the John Oates of the duo—the franchise quarterback is really the one that makes Super Bowl dreams come true). I envision a game in-which Los Angeles controls the action for most of the way. Jared Goff will show us that he has what it takes to be one of the faces of the NFL for years to come. Aaron Donald will spend portions of the night being totally unblockable on his way to punishing Brady and making him do that thing where he slams the football out of frustration and then yells at his teammates (only non-receivers are allowed to “lead” in such a fashion). Marcus Peters may even get a pick-six and then proceed to challenge the entire state of Maine to a fight. Unfortunately, there will come a time when the Rams will have a chance to put the game away—either offensively or defensively—but they won’t be able to do so (maybe because the Jets show up and play in their place midway from the fourth quarter). And once they fail to close the door on Brady and Belichick (mostly Brady), the Patriots will do that thing where they pull a Super Bowl out either in the final moments or in overtime.I’m predicting the final moments.Patriots 34, Rams 31.And for most of us not living in those New England states—especially very prideful “Got Six?” Steelers fans—I’m predicting......PAIN. I live in Pittsburgh https://www.thesteelerslockerroom.com/authentic-terrell-edmunds-jersey , but I don’t get to Steelers training camp nearly as much as a die-hard fan should. Is that wrong?" Latest NewsCommentaryLiving in Pittsburgh, it’s easy to take Steelers training camp for grantedNew,8commentsI live in Pittsburgh, but I don’t get to Steelers training camp nearly as much as a die-hard fan should. Is that wrong? EDTThe Steelers will break camp Thursday out at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa.—a place where they’ve prepared for every regular season since the 1960s—and for the 43rd time since 1972, I will have missed every single practice session.I could have attended any practice I wanted to this summer. Take Tuesday, for example.I received a text message from my uncle on Monday morning asking me if I wanted to take his son (my cousin) to a meet and greet session with Tunch Ilkin and Craig Wolfley followed by VIP access to that day’s practice session.I thought about it long and hard, but after deciding that earning money (something no non-Steeler who attends training camp besides Ed Bouchette, Christopher Carter and a few others can actually do) was more important for my immediate survival, I texted back a disappointed “no.” Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t THAT disappointed. After all, how much better could a VIP view of Steelers training camp be than, say Womens Terrell Edmunds Jersey , the vantage-point from the hillside I sat on last summer? Probably much better, right? Oh well, there will be other VIP offers, and if there aren’t, I can just make a day of it at the team’s annual Family Fest Heinz Field practice they conduct on a select Sunday in early August. The Steelers held such a practice on August 4, 2019. I know, I was there—or should I say, I was on the North Shore, getting my Sunday steps in as I passed many fans clad in black and gold gear. I could have very easily checked into Heinz Field, paid $10 for a ticket and observed a few hours of practice.Nah, I had to get home and get ready for my bowling match that evening. To reiterate, there will be another Family Fest practice next season that I can attend...provided it doesn’t interfere with my bowling night. As a life-long Pittsburgher, am I taking training camp for granted? Saint Vincent College isn’t exactly a hop Womens James Conner Jersey , skip and a jump from where I live (it’s 36 miles, according to my GPS), but it’s certainly close enough to attend at least one practice every summer. There are fans that drive and fly from far and wide to attend a Steelers training camp. I know because I’ve talked to folks from Minnesota, California and even Europe during previous visits to Latrobe. People save money to book flights and hotel rooms just to attend one training camp session. Some would rather spend a week’s vacation sitting on the grass of Saint Vincent than on the sand of some beach.Me, all I need is a half a tank of gas and some money for tolls, and yet, my general reaction to the idea of going is “meh.” p (that’s the only reason I finally started attending them in the late-00s) or a kid (mine or someone else’s—I took my niece last year). I offered to drive a couple of friends to camp this summer and pay the tolls, but not because I really wanted to go. This was just to show my gratitude for friend things they’ve done for me recently (yeah, because that equals a free ticket to a Pitt basketball game—I’m such a cheapskate). Am I a bad Steelers fan for only going to camp every other season or so since 2009? For that matter, am I a bad Steelers fan for not going at all until 2009? Should I forever be banished from Saint Vincent College? If your answer to all of the above is “yes,” am I a bad Steelers fan for not being too upset about it?
