Found July 04, 2009 on Nice Pick Cowher:
How are you spending your Fourth of July weekend? Former Steelers head coach Bill Cowher is visiting Iraq with three other current and former NFL head coaches. I have to give the Chin credit, he’s a braver man than I. I’m sure the security surrounding guest celebrities is ultra-tight, it’s still a war zone. Not to mention if they were to come under sniper fire, Cowher’s blindingly white teeth would reveal his position immediately. While over in Iraq, the honor and loyalty of the troops has evidently rubbed off on Benedict Bill. The whistle-cranker rediscovered his inner yinzer as the sea of Terrible Towels so moved him that he declared Iraq was officially a part of Steeler Nation. While I agree with the sentiment, Carolina Cowher evidently forget the no longer represents Steeler Nation. He forfeited that right when he sided against the Penguins. But I’ll put aside my petty grievances for today, it being a holiday and all. Happy Independence Day to everyone and especially to all my readers in the military. I hope this blog provides you with a little entertainment and a little piece of home while your making us proud overseas. Thank you for all you do. Now let’s all celebrate like true yinzers: shoot off a truckload of fireworks.
