I became a fan of the NFL when I happened to watch a Steelers AFC Wild Card game in 1989. I don't remember a thing about the game except for the fact that the announcers talked about how Bubby Brister (the Steelers QB) basically put the team on his back and willed them to victory. I thought that was the coolest thing ever and I was pretty much hooked (although I ended up cheering for the Dolphins and Dan Marino the next season and eventually Mark Rypien and the Redskins when they went to the Super Bowl in 1992)...
