My question for you is: why was the 2017 Steelers' season good, or great for you personally?
For me, it was great because I got to see my 12-year-old son get fully engaged in the Steelers for the first time. He's played for 5 years but could always take it or leave it when a Steelers game was on. Until this year. He got hooked. When Jesse James scored that TD against the Patriots, it was literally the most excited I've ever seen him his whole life. He went hysterical. When they reversed it he was stunned. I told him, welcome to the club. So winning the Super Bowl would have been a dream come true for me - getting to watch him experience that. But..... it was still a great Steelers' season in my house.
Here's to 2018!
