When the Stillers wade deep into the playoff, I get to watch just about everyone around here lose their minds. The local news people pretty much ditch all pretense of ccovering anything else, and instead head off in search of office parties, pep rallies, Stiller bars in the town that the team is visiting and all the freaks with Stiller-themed rooms in their homes.
Being a Browns fan, Uncle Crappy would rather die than deal with insanity that will grip the entire population of the Pittsburgh area today, so I’m going skiing instead. And the Wife doesn’t participate too much in this mania, to my eternal relief. But the folks at her office pretty much ordered everyone to wear something Stiller-related to work, so they can take a group photo that will be used in some kind of bizarre promotional materials.
The Wife said she thought briefly about hunting down a Jerome Bettis jersey, but the contrarian streak in her pushed her towards this instead. And that’s why I love her.

Umm, imagine living at my house.
But I am going to watch the game on Sunday…and cheer for the Stillers, mostly because I hate the Broncos so much

I think you should get a shirt that says ‘Steelers, better than the Bangles’.
As for me – my 6 years at altitude have made me a psuedo Bronco fan –

I’m watching the game, but it’s pretty much a no-win deal for me, or any Browns fan. In fact, our assistant sports editor just asked me if this was pretty much a nightmare scenario for a Cleveland fan … and I couldn’t think of anything worse. Maybe if Michigan was somehow involved…
