John, I got to see a lot of interviews this week, players from both the Steelers and Baltimore. I was really impressed with the honest respect and admiration these guys have for each other. They are absolutely chomping at the bit to get on the field. I think it's because both teams play the same style of ball, and each team drives the other team to do their absolute best. They leave everything they have on the field every single time they play. I bet they'd play against each other every week if they could, they have that much fun. Those aren't my words, that's from the players themselves.
Granted, they hate each other's guts when they hit the field, and they play like they're trying to kill each other, but I think that the best part of the guys professionally idolize the other team.
It ain't like the old days with Cleveland/Pittsburgh. They just flat hated each other, and they weren't afraid to say so.
