OA Coordinator uses new enerSy

to push leadership programs forward ByTim Esterdahl testerda@mscd.edu l:rst fall, Mctropolitaa reporter Tirn Esterdahl sat down wlth Bryan Feqgusog coordinalor of Outdoor Advenbrre, OA, to discuss what he has leamed over the past 13 years ln the program, what they are working toward now and what the future looks like for Ferguson. ' The Outdoor Advenhre program has been around almost as long as the college and has evolved into ffve main areas: technical advenurre skills, adventure leadership program, service leaming programs, Web skills and rental shop. All of these programs are made possible by sb,rdentfees and seli generated revenues, so that all outings are intended to break even and not cost the campus any revenue loss.

Ferguson has a bachelor's degree from Metro, and a mastet's degree fiom UCD. He has spent his entire life in the outdoors and has spent the last several yean sharing his knowledge and passion to see others enjoy the outdoors as much as possible.

Titn Esterdahl: Do you feel that there is a new 'energy' on campus and in your departnent now that Dr.Jordan was named president?

Bryan Ferguson: There is a new energy and I personally have a new energy. I am reinvigorated and revitalized. I am excited about what the fut-re holds for us and what we are doing here and now I do feel that we may not seethe staxsaligred as they are now as we haven't seen it in the past and I don't know if we will see it again. We are really exciled about moving our program forward in a positive light in everything that we do.

With the new leadership at Metro, we feel like there has never really been more op poru-rnityfor surdentsto pafticipate in the ce curricular experience that we offer and that they are valued Dr. Jordan has indicared a period of stabilizarion and we would look forward to geting through that pmcess to bring ow programs forward, and we feel like we are poised to do tlnt We feel that we are well positioned right now to move with the college.

TE: How do you see the vision of Carrlpus Recreation and or Outdoor Advenbrre?

Btri The administsation staff at Campus Recreation shares a vision for a dedicated facihty. We think we have shown the kind use oi our recreational facilities. as thev exist now that would warrant further exploration and discussion ofa dedicated hcility. How does Outdoor Advenurre fft into ftis vision?

Outdoor Advenure would like to seea larger climbing wall, we would like to see high ropes counes and a high and low element ropes course constructed, whether it is an indoor or outdoor course.That is a ffve-year vision and I would Iike to see us working every day to see some of that happening.

TE: How do vou see the OA? Bf Cunently, the parh we are on is a divenity prograrn coupled with the hain the trainer programming, and really the re inforced learning outcome and instruction based outings is the path I want to stay on and continue to pusue those things.

o Adventureprogramfocuseson students,fun BRYAN Continued from 5 team building and no backgrormd in leadership and she basically responded that I should not worry, that it was a small part of the program and you can do a litle bit of that and you will get the skills as you go.

As years have passed, outdoor recrealion has evolved into being the number one area of participation. Actually, my own thought and opinions around team building have changed dramatically in the 13 years it took to recognize that if you eke dre notion of team building and make it your own and you value people's time and you make every experience and challenge valuable to fhem, there is a huge potential for positive outcomes from that. We are highly vested now in the team building side of the prc gram and we don't talk much about the recreational side. but more about the leadership side and cocurricular that goes along with thau Good people skills, self-discipline, good decision-making, engaging in research studies and challenging physical activities, all that shrff goes into what we do.

TE: What drives the program?

8R Just about everything we do comes out of these two things, awarenessand an effort So, we are aware of the need for technolory and people to leam about technology and people to leam experientially about technology and a constant efiort to provide those things and challenge s[rdents to use technology. Same with diversity we axe aware of the need to advance diversity concenr and we make an ongoing efior! a caloric expendibrre. We are leaning on is zuesall the time and that is how we think of it as a paradigrn, really pushing against that big object of awarenessand change.

IE: What kind of experiences do you draw on?

Bn'fbl{r yeaxsago at a party, no one else there would know about rock climbing and if you found someone there that acbraily did, you could start up a conversation with them right away and ffnd your comfort zone. And when all you do is drink and sleep a qport like rock climbing, you cfirve to talk to someone about iL Now, every paxty you go to everyone climbs. And so, it is interesring. When I need to draw on some. thing during a stessfi or difficr t time, it is reflecting back to the old days of climblng when it was well out of the mainstream and it wasjust a ton of frrn to do and a blast We got out there all the time and lust did it and we understood exactly what we were doing and what it meant 0ous.

IE: What does ttre fuhue look like for you?

8ft I want to ffnd myself in an influential oosition within this field of outdoor leadership, whether it is through writing presentatjons or seeking some kind of formalized position of leadership within the field to further notions about the experidntial leaming that could happen, and of the urgenry of contributing to the issue of diversity. I have some notion that we, as a profession, are lagging and if we really are outdoor leaders using leadership language, then we should be in the leadership role doing good things.

Oldfart, young heart

The stroke oflife ric Matelski is an artist who has been working in and around Denver for near-

currendy focusing on a medium branded live art Live art can be deffned as paintings created in front of an audience using live subject rnatter. The challenge widr live art is forcing yourself to quickly captre a subjec! consequentially reffning many skills that would typically deftne an artisl

According to Malelski Iive art is great becauseit is, "ya know, better than dead art..'

Matelski qpends most Friday nights in the main room a.t Dazzle painting Vegas Witchcraft, a band specializing in elecbonica a:l.d jaz. Like Matelski's paintins, the bands music is improvisational, creating a very imaginative atrnoqphere in Dazzle's bar room.

When Marelski isn't ai Dazzle or in his studio space at Neo Snrdios on Santa Fe, he can be found working at the Red Rocla Grill.

A couple of weeks ago, I hrmed 45. I'm not ancieng but iCs starting to dawn on me that I'm not that young anymore, either. For one thing, my body is begirming to remind me of my age; it's starting to mal<e noises I'm just not used to-+rackling noises, hideous popping sounds like firecracken going off in my joints, noises that wake me up in the middle of the night. I'm also growing hair in the most biza.rre places. Why on earth do men my agmr any age, for that matter-grow hair in iheir ears? What purpose could ear hair possibly serve?If I don't trim it often enough it looks like com silk, a definite tumoff as far as dates are concemed-not that I actually go on any.

I don't consider myself old, or even middleaged, because, let's face i! you can't really know what middleaged is unul vou're dead and vou can count backward aod dilridu your age by half. So, I prefer not to tldnk about it ihat way. Plus, lm in good company in my 45ness.Gmrge Cloo ney (whom I've meet nice guy) hrms 45 this year. So did Mike Lookinland (Bobby Brady), Vince Neil, F.ddie Mqphy, Mchael J. Fox (whom I've also me! Iiule Cuy), Dan Marino. Scott Baio. Heafier locklear and Meg Ryan, none of whom look any,vhere near 45 (except maybe for Vince Neil.

Drugs are bad m'kay).

Forrest Gump said "Shrpid is as stupid does." I say old is as old does, and I don't do old.Jimmy Buffett sums it up prety well, too, in his song "Growing Older, But Not Up," with the line, "ld rafher die while Im livin' than live while lm dead."

Thing is, if you don't act your age, no one will accuse you of being your age. I llke thag it means I still get to think like a kid, act like a kid, and maybe even look like a kid--although ld never being caught dead wearing some of the things that pass for fashion these days. Baseball caps on sideways? Back in my day, only gu),s like Goober $e (Gomer's cousin, I think) and the losers on 'The Bowery Bop" wore their hab that wav. and that was to show what morons thefwere. Iogos like Abercrombie and Guess?Don't think so-they want me to advertise their storesfor them, they can pay me !o wear their clothes. Trucker caps?No, they were ugly when they came out back in the late '70s, why would I want to wear them now?

Sull, they say you're only as old as you feel. If that's the case, lm only about 20.

That is. until I haul mv butt out of bed in the moming to the sound of my knees going off like a 20gun salute. Then, I feel like I'm old enough to get AARP mailings and drink a couple of gallons of Geratol.

Liberals lack valor to be calledpatriotic

Sometime around 1945, the Democrals decided to ditch the idea of standing up for Arnerican values. The very thought of the United Stateqhaving any sort of moral authority over other counkies made these people shudder. Whether it has been by defending Soviet spies working in the U.S. Govemment and terrorist suspecb being monitored by dre fBI, or by demonizing people like Joe McCarthy and Ronald Reagan, liberals have managed to pick the side of America's enemy for 60 years. But don't tr\ dare call them unpatiotic.

The spread of Communism was the [,rl|.l ff,drr..{t Democrab' ffrst chance to beFav the nation After World War tr. the Soviel Union was no longer the only nation rmder the influence of Karl Marx's twisted political philo+ ophl Communisn had spread to Eastem , Asia, inclu,l;',g Chinq Fa"1gm Europe, and Central America as well. For whatever rea),/ son. most on the left seemed lackadaisical to confiont iL Even though Communist governmenb rnurdered rougtrly 100 million of their own civilians during the 20h Cenh:ry and created an abyssof economic misery in each country under its inlluence, the liberal response to ihe spread of this dreadfirl system was "containmen!" basically to play for the tie instead of the win in the Cold War. Democratic PresidentHarry Truman did take action when the Norlh Koreans tsied to spread Communism to South Koreq and was zuccessfirl in the SoutlS but seerned wary to unif the peninsula and never did.

Fifty years later, Communist North Korea is the most cornrpt and poverf*kicken coun hy on earth. Truman also defended Soviet spies like Alger Hiss, and ended support for Chiang Kai{hek of Chin4 who wam't free of comrption himself, but also didnt slaughter tens of millions like his Marxist successor, Mao TseTung.

FILM RE\TEWS

quondory legend Acountry ond0m0r0l

Walk the Line director: Ja:nes Mangold starring: Phoenix, Reese Joaquin 'Witherspoon, Robert Patrick Now shouring at Starz FilmCenter "Walk the Linen is an epic love story of an American sweetheartand the American legend she rescued fiom the endless pidalls of fame and forh:ne.

ForJohrmy Cash connoisseursand novices alike, 'WaIk the Line" is a compelling account of the life of the music legend that can be ap preciated by dll. The film pulls the audienie from the comfort of the theater straight into the raw and rmbending documentation of a musical hero. This production is both intriguing and captivating, and with ib gritty portrayal and unyielding focus, dre ffkn stands out as both a musical biopic and a stirring American hagedy.

'Walk the Line" perusesthe image ofJohnny Cash as an American icon, all the while delving into the depths of darkness and tragedy that also characterized sections of his life. Accompanied by rock 'n' roll contempora.rieslike FJvis Presley and Jerry lce kwis, Cash breals into the scene as a country singer, strongly influenced by folk and country predecesson such as the Carter Family.

Very early in his life, Cash, played by Joaquin Phoenix ("Gladiator," "Ladder 49"), endures a tragic accident that forever affeib his perspective and his relationships, especially with his father. From rock bottom to sky-high and back down again, the audience is taken on z dizying joumey that stops nothing short of death defing.

Cash quickly makes his way to the top ""helons of pop cultre and falls into the frst-paced 'n' rock roll lifestyle and all ib snares.He eventually abandons a steady family life in favor of a dangerous cycle of drugs and violence. Cash's star begins to fade as his drug addictions and rampant alcohol abuse quickly cost him his fame and family. The publicity of these occurrences leaves him unable to pursue his single most persistentpassion in life, as no label is will-

ing to sign him.

Eventualll Cash's r:ndying love for June Carter {Reese Witherspoon) proves to be his only lifeline in his darkest moments.

When they first meet it is clea"rtlat Carter ignites something in Cash that proves redemptive.

Her values eam her a resoectfrom Cash that the fawning groupies do not receive. Though she has been &vorced, which was considered an etemal black mark; Carter still seemsto be very sDiritual and evokes a similar l'irhre in Cash.

Due to bemendous guilt and being overly self-conscious of what people will thin\ she refuses several of Cash's marriage.proposals and eventually re moves herseHfrom ,7. his lineup.

She shuns the public eye. Without the presence of Carter in his life, Cash is void of inspiration and motivation and eventually lets his life become empty as he slips into the oblivion that is induced by a combination of drugs, depression and apathy. It is only upon Carter reentering his life that Cash is able to ffnally make his way out of the deep hole he had dug for himself and ffnd his religion once again.

Through the peak of his life and career, highs and lows, good times and bad, "Walk the line" documents the Me of an icon as he paves his way to stardom. With its stellar performances arrd gnEy aesthetic,"Walk the Line" will ensure that the legend ofJohrmy Cash lives on in his musical contemporaries and in a new generation of admiren.

Munich director: Steven Spielberg Eric Bana, Matthew starring: Kassovitz Leaving alien invasions behind, Steven Spielberg gives his audience a shong dose of reality with his politically and emotionally charged fflm, "Munich."

The filrn is based on the conhovenial book, "Vengeance; The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Teamn by George Jonas, and screenwriters Eric Roth ('AIi," "Fonest Gump") and Tony Kushner detver to the screen an equally conhoversial, yet unforgettable story.

The opening scene vividly recreates the harmting lerrorism attack on the 1972Ol1.rnpic training grounds in Munich, Germany.

Dizzying and abrupL the carnera follows ffve Palestinianterrorists into the chaotic mass of confusion, panic and bloodshed within the sleeping quarters of 11 Israeli athletes. As a poliUcal statement addressing the unrest between Palestine and Israel, the terrorists, dubbing themselves'Black September," hold the athletes hostage and ultimately kill all I l.

Except for flashback clips of the actual Sept. 5 attack throughout the fflm, Spielberg focuses mainly on ib aftermath. The plot takes ofl when Israel's hime minister decides to hire a group of "inconspicuous" counter-lerorists lead by Avner, played by Eric Bana ("Hulk"), 0oassassinalethose who planned the onslaught Like "Schindler's LisC' and "Saving Private Ryan," "Mr:nich' rras made to get the attention of our hearts and minds, leaving us with looming images of violence and inhumaniw. With "Munid!" a very timely and appropriate fiIm for the present day, Spielberg successfullymarages to examine an overlooked event in recent history and tie it with modem tagedies and conflicb.

The date Sept 5, 1972 wouldn't neces sarily ring a bell for a younger audience, yet *re 'T' word is ever so omnipresent in our lives. Becausethe media mentions terrorism so frequendy, it is easyto lose sight of its human toll. Rather than reading about isolated events in the paper, in "Munich" we see for ourselves ttre resulti.B consequences and the seemingly endlesscycle of terrorism that violence can instigate.

Bana's powerfi-rl and convincing performance conveys the heart-wrenching sadness of a man losing his grip on reality and his faith in humanity. At one point in the film, Avner realizes the people he and his team murdered were being replaced by new and willing recruib. This is a theme that is central to the film: that although one can overthrow a corupt govemment or exact revenge on individuals, it is impossible to kill an ideal.

'Muhich" is not enjoyable. It's guaranteed to make nany in the audience uncomfortable--the whole two hours and 4O minutes of iL There is uo hem who saves the day. No happy ending. No reassurancethat werything will be OK once the lighb tun on Some will like i! othen will downright hate ig but it's an important fflm to iee and it boasb a messagetJratcannot be ignored.

"We thought for a few months orr a new name and randomly decided to go with The Photo Adas," Shirley said. "We just got tired of eying." It was a change that didn't seem to bother their fans.

Two months later, in October, the band had a CD release oartv for their debut album, i{o, Not me, ileaer. Since then, the album has been available at Twist and Shout Records or at their shows. At the end of January, their album will be available nationwide. The album is being produced by Colorado label, Moming After Records, run bv Dan Rutherford. Shirlev said Rutherford was great to work with because he was so enthusiasticabout the album.

Continuing on their path, the band plans to kick off a large tour in early March, according to Shirley. The tour consisb of South by Southwest in Austin, Texas followed by a large West Coast tour. "We are really really excited," Shirley said. The band hopes to tour as much as possible this year, and Shirley even took the spring semester off from Mefo to tour. The band out a television and Xbox in their van for the tour.

Twenty years later, H.R brings his solo act to Denver.

Aside from being leaden in hardcore, Bad Brains was best known for their rmusual combination of thrash and reggae.H.R.'s l)nics reflect his devotion to Rastafarianism and civil right.

Get a presskit together before you head

out on your ca:npaign. hess kits become usefrrl when you are dealing with other professionals-joumalise, club ownen, pub licisb, A&R reps. There are three basic elemenb to a good press kit l) A professional pictre of youneH. 2) A onesheet biogra phy widr bdef history, in0uenceg and cor tact informafiorl 3) Samples of your music.

You can also add other zupporting materials like videos and printed articles, but don't go overboard. If you can't afford to reproduce your press kits (and even if you can), ids a good idea to have this information online.

Myspace.com has become a popular place for indy anisb to post all of this informatiorq and even upload samplesb:acks.

Radio is a huge cafalpt for exposure.

Don't cormt on a starionthat Spends23 of 24 hours playing Top4O music. Instead, go for collegebased, non-profft, online, and otherwise underground radio stalions and shows.

Call your local colleges and get the information you need. ff drey don't play your genre of music, don't waste your time convincing them they should. Met Radio for one plap a vadety of music throughout the week and the DJs are alwals looking for new b:acks.

Make sure vour tracls come with radioedited versioni and you're less likely to get the nm-arormd. A press kit will come in handy when talking to radio stations, Intewiews and articles can serve as both publicity and credibility. Get out and find the in-print and.online publications that cover your genre. Send your press kit to wrlten who have experience writing about your genre. It rnay be usefi:l to 'hire' someone !o write a few articles on you, and then submit those articles to a few publications. Add any published material to your presskil The Intemet is the fastestway !o get your music from here to Hong Kong in less than an hour. Once you publish your materials online, search for space !o post linl<sto your site. Go to chat rooms and messageboards and leave your mark. The kev is consistency. If you are frequently online in the same plares, people will take notice, which will entice them to check out what you have to offer.

Staying visible in the scene is the only way you'll get hometown recognition. Refer back to your list of potential fans and generate some shameless promofion. Several local record shops proudly sell indy music.

Contact the store managers and see what they need from you to get the ball rollin'.

Find creative walrs to reach vour fars on the sheet. Chasing after someone to spend ffve bucks gets a litde old. Take your CD player and give them a test taste to speed up the sale. Some venues set aside artists space at concerts. Reserve a booth and find a creafive way to display your products. Bring your crew to help you sell your strff, the more the merrier.

Iast weekend's victories over Mesa State College and Westem Stare College p,roved the Roadnrnner mm's basketball team is prepared to play the tougt5 physical basket ball thd is a trademark of the Roclry Mourr' tain Athletic Conference.

Metro beat Mesa 7560 on Jan. 13, and followed that win with an 82-55 rout of the Mountaineers the next wening. With the wins, the 'Runners' record improved to ll4 overall, and .12 in the RMAC. Meeo is riding a seven game win streak after starting the season34.

Mesa State couldn't fi.nd an answer for the Roadrunne.n' defense at the start of the game, and Metso jumped to an early 155 lead in the ffrst ffve minutes. Senior Drew Williamson was able to take advantage of the Mavericks early, as they concentrated on stopping senior Greg Muth. Williamson scored 15 ffnt-half poinb and gained four steals.Dustin Ballard also fueled the Metro offense with I I points in fre first half.

"We aII know every player on the team can scorg" Williamson said. 'The ffrst half they were leaving me open, so I was able to get i! and in the second half Greg (Muth) and Michael (Bahl) stepped up well."

From the shrt of the game, Mesa State had rouble playing at the Roadnrnners' speed. What the Mavericls did. instead" was change the speed of play trough their phpical presence.

"A couple of otn rebounders were in trouble all night long, so it impacted our ability to play on dre glass," Dunlap said.

"Hayden (furith) did an adequatejob when he carne in on the glass."

Mesa's effort was only enough to narrow the score to 3&28 at hdftime.

The tough play continued in the second half.

Mile-highsteedsmeetmenof steel

urange Lrusn I was bom a Broncos frn.

My d"d has been a hn since the AFL da1n, so I grew up watching them play. I learned some of my ffrst curse words during their erdy Super Bowl appearances.It's in my blood and I wouldn't be surprised to discover my DNA is orange and blue. I never followed another team until I married and moved away-+o Pitbbu{gh.

For the two years I lived in Pibbu{gh I was a Steelers fan. It couldn't be avoided.

Frankly, I don't think I would have suwived my in-laws' wrath had I refused to wave .I".ribt" Towel along with the rest of -y the clan. Even then, the Broncos remained my one tnrc love, the sports equivalent of a high+chool sweetheartfor whom I carried a secrettorch. In that time, the Steelerseamed my grudging reqpec! and since then lve cheered them on whenever it didn't hurt the Broncos' chances.Hell, I was rooting for them (along with the rest of the orange and blue faitbfirl) dris past Srmday!

But corne this Strndan my loyalties will be undivided. I will enjoy warching the Steelers lose almost as much as if it were Oakland gefiing thrashed.

Deqpite the wishfirl think;ng of my colleague, there will be htle reason for fans of the black and gold to celebrate. It will be a great game; but in the end, it will be Denver r€presenting 0re AIC in the biggest garne of aIL That prediction is based not only on mv rabid fandom but also on a clear-headed of bo&, teams and of history. "rr.lyS" Point by point the two tearns match up to an incredible degree. Determining who has the edge in any given facet of the game is a total toss up. The Bus may be a better power runner than Mke Andenon, but Anderson is no slouch and I'll take Denver's Wed guy, Tanrm BeI, over Pitburgh\ Willie Parker, any day. Big Ben may have the upside, but the Snake's experience could just as easily give him the edge. The Steelen might have the better pass rush but the Broncos' secondary beats thein hands down At every positiorL in ever phase of the garne, an argument can be made for ei ther team being just sliglull beter dran the other. But g:unes axe played on grass, not on Frper.

The Steelershave been ffgtrting for their lives before the playoft wen began. They just won &re bigges! most emotional game that most of them have even played, a sure 6re recip€ for a letdown. They'll have to bavel halfiray across 6e country and face a hostile, maniacal crowd at a high altitude.

Those frctors will all play a part in their de mise, but one thing will end up hlling them: Bill Cowher.

Don't get me wrong, I think Cowher is a geat coach, for the most part But in the playoft, when it comes time 0o do or die, I'lI take Shanahan over Cou*rer every single time. Cowher iDherit€d a tendency to go conservative at the worst possible time from Marty Schottenheimer, his coaching mentor. If he gets a lead Sunday (unlikely, but possible) he'll immediately tsy to sit on it He'll kick a fteld goal to force overtime instead of going for the win; he'll punt on fourtlr-and-trso even when he's down by 10.

He's a great coach, but when the pressure is on he doesn't have what it takes to put opponents away.

That's why this Sunday lll be buying Jeremy shots to console him as Shanahan begins gameplanning for the Super Bowl and Cowher flies home sb:nned, wondering what went wrong. ltrlart!.traanrat'!r.

t t.l r t

Steel Curtarn I was bom in October of 1974just outside of Piusburgt\ right in the middle of Steelers Corurtry, right at the beginning of one of the most special and rare erasin football historv.

The Steelers began the summer of ?4 by drafting four key playen-wide receivers Lynn Swann and John Stallwortl\ center Mke Webster an4 my hvorite, linebackwhat would become er Jack Ianbertjn a nearly decadelong fooball dynasty. All four, along with young shrds such as TernMean" Joe ry Bradshaq Franco Harris, Green, Jack Ham, Rocky Bleier and Mel Bloun! went on to win four of the next six Suoer Bowls.

'Many of my earliest memories were I sriog in his bachelor's of my uncle "ttidmnk beers while I drank aparknent He soda pop and we'd eat popcom and Polish sarxage and watch Steelers'football. Family made me a Steelers'fan and fate ensured it would be forever.

But then the '80s brought about a decade of futllity-+ncluding quarterback clowns Mark Malone and Bubby Brister-and the '9G proved liule better than a loss in Super Bowl X)O( in 1996.My heart sanl but my loyalty did not fade.

In April of 1997, I packed up my thengirl&iend and my cat in my '84 Oldsrnobile and drove to Denver to start a new life. The following football seasontook my heart right back to Ere 'Burgh.

Piusburgh managed, behind University of Colorado athlete Kordell Stewarg to clinch the AFC Central for the fourth skaight year and the Steelersbegan to look like a possible dynasty once again.

After dominating Denver 3524 in week 15 al Mle High Stadiurq the Broncos still squeaked into dre playoft. When the Broncos Faveled to Three Rivers Stadium for the AFC Championship, a Steelerswin seemed all but ensured. hstead. it was the Broncos that went on

Photoby IUatthew Jqnasojonasm@mscd.edu to win their first Super Bowl-a 3[-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers.

Now, it's time for a re-match.

This time, the Steelen come to Invesco Field as the first sixlxeed team to make it to a division championship. The match-up surely comes as a relief to Steelen and Broncos fans alike. since bo*r tearns have had a common enemy in the playoft over the last several years.

For Denver, the enemy was Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts. Tom Brady and the New England Pa.tiob repeatedly sealed the Steelers fate. And every Patriots win meant another Super Bowl victory for them and coach Bill Bellichick.

After eight years, I've come to love my "new hometown" I implore Broncos fans and Denver "nalives" to stop telling me to go back to where I came frorn" beca:se tbis is where I want to be and where I am going to stay. My residency is rooted in Denverwhich IS my second tean--but my heart still belongs to ihe tsurgb.

The Steelen' have won six straight games,including tre two mad playoff garnes

and come to Denver on Sunday playing the best football of their season.

This weekend's game will prove to be challenging to both teams. I could argue staand streaks, but this tistics and won't be a game based on those hcton.

This will be a game of gub.

Both teams have evenly ma&hed quaxterbacks with evenlv scnrft beards. hny burgh coach Bill Cowher boase the longest tenure in the NII. just ahead of Denvey's Mike Shanahan. Both teams like to olav smash-mouth footba.[ and both do so witir a shong running and defensive game.

But, both teams can't win.

And I believe in fat€. mv frien&. Denver and Pireburgh are youn! and poised to be teairu of deefuure for several seasonsto corne. But for Husburgh, the fuhre is now.

So let us embrace the excitement and relish the competition of this upcoming showdown. But be humble, Denver, and prepare to looe.

For revenge is a dish best served coldwith a side of Polish sausage,pirogues and sauerkraut
