    Stand corrected.

    Yes, sir, King. You're absolutely correct. It was Steve Young that I meant. I was too busy noticing that big gap. And the booing. I didn't think it was 'all in good fun'.

    Went right up there with having attended a truly miserable LSU game season before last where the Bayou Bengals were beating the crap outta tiny poor little AR State and the fans in the stands were chanting 'hit him again - harder harder' when the Tigers were already up by 40 some points and the poor ARState QB was barely on his feet.

    But really I read many commentators in the weeks leading up to this game and much ink was devoted to the four previous championships. Chuck Noll got play. Franco, too.

    No mention of Terry. None.

    Likewise the columnists and articles following the game. I looked. Lots of mention of the 4 rings. No mention of the guy with all four of them. None.

    Do you think that maybe, just maybe, Terry got the idea that any comparison between the the current Steelers QB and his own record wouldn't be appreciated. Like maybe he didn't feel all that welcome.
