Actually, A) matters quite a bit. And B) is the media's doing, not Jerome's

I've been a Steelers fan since before most of the members of this community were born - I've been a fan thru the good times (the fabulous 70s) and the bad times. I think the team, Bill Cowher, and the Rooney family deserve this win, for all the loyalty they've shown each other (except you, Plexico - how'd that move to the Giants work out for ya?)

Seattle is a great team - they've won 13 of their last 14 games, and Holmgren rested the starters during the game they lost. They certainly deserve to be at the big game.

As far as a 1 seed being an underdog to a 6 seed, remember that Pittsburgh tied with Cincinnati, the 3 seed in the AFC. The tiebreaker was the Division record, which went to the Bengals because the Steelers lost three in a row during Roethlisbergers' 5-week injury absence. And don't forget that this is basically the same team as last year's 15-1 team - with a much more experienced quarterback.

Also, another reason Pittsburgh is getting more press is because anyone who pays attention knows that the AFC is the stronger Conference this year, so it's natural for some people to assume that the best AFC team is better than the best NFC team.

They're both good teams and both deserve to be there.
That being said,
GO STEELERS!!! (um . . . . 27-16)
