It's good having Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl. Not only have we already been blessed with Steelerbaby, but in less than 48 hours since the AFC Championship these three stories and sites have crossed my inbox:

1. A PA teacher humiliates a kid in a Broncos jersey.

2. SteelerSongs.com features nearly a dozen tunes including the Steelers Polka and Ghostbusters Theme.

3. This is what happens when you disrespect a co-worker's Black & Gold flag (thanks to Deadspin for the link)...

Of course, if you're tired of all this warm-heartedness towards Steel City, there's always the Bill Cowher appearance improvement page.

  Hey, that's Joe Namath's HS.  The kid's still breathing?
  
  Lucky he wasn't going to Carlynton HS; Bill Cowher's alma mater.  They'd have used him in Biology class for an experiment.
  
  Or Ringold; Joe Montana's HS.
  
  Or St Justin's; Johnny Unitas' HS.
  
  Or Connellsville Area ; Johnny Lujack's alma mater.
  
  Or Central Cartholic; Dan Marino's HS.  He'd be crucified.
  
  The list goes on.....

  When I worked at the factory, we shrink-wrapped some dude into his car who had fallen asleep there during his lunch break. He had to roll down the window and carve his way out with the house key.
  
  That kid should lighten up. Here's a few things I used to do to punish kids when I was teaching:
  
  - I made a kid crawl around the classroom on his belly
  
  - I made a kid roll back to school from Bunker Hill.
  
  - Used a blow gun to shoot a fat kid in the ass... almost lost my job over that one
  
  - The Shark Bite, which was a rolled-up Tom Brady poster with paper clips taped to the end,,, I used this much like one uses a rolled-up newspaper on a dog.
  
  -If a kid fell asleep in my class, I'd take one of those 9 Volt batteries, wet his wrist, and zap him with it.... either that, or drop a 4000 page dictionary onto his/her desk
  
  - Not only would I read notes aloud if I caught them, I'd add stuff to it as I read it
  
  - make kids jump into Boston Harbor (this was usually "I can expel you, or you can jump into the harbor")
  
  - If I actually became angry, I'd see to it that they got a really nasty lunch that day.... we went from Chicken Cordon Bleu to American Chop Suey out of a can once
  
  Hell... half of my students preferred to sit on the floor...
