Steelers-Dolphins haiku contest winner
I got busy this week and forgot to announce the winner of last week’s haiku contest. Sorry about that.
We got quite a few very good entries this week. Several were from fans of other teams who admitted that they didn’t like the Steelers when they submitted their haiku. Here are a few of those that were actually pretty good.
This one was submitted by Kavinay:
Instant replay fail
“By rule” refs made into goat
Steelers should have lost.
Another enemy submission came from Drew. Drew admitted to being a Ravens fan. He also admitted that the Steelers are, and will always be, superior to the Ravens (okay, I made up that last part). Drew wrote:
Wow are they lucky
just like two thousand and five
refs hand them the gem
But enough with entries from opposing teams’ fans. Let’s see what Steeler Nation had to say.
In third place this week was this entry by Jim
Steeler Nation bliss
Roger Goodell happy too
Dolphins not so much
Second place goes to Erica Day for this beauty:
We tried to give game
‘Phins did not want. kicked field goals
Refs just went with it
And the winner was submitted on our Facebook page by Thomas Hoffelder. Thomas wrote:
Miami Fans thought
their team had won, up until
the word, “However,………”
That was an exceptional Haiku, Thomas. Congratulations! You are this week’s winner.

THE DOLPHINS WOULD HAVE NEVER LOST THAT GAME IF THEY HAD JUST STAYED IN THE WATER,
1SERIOUSLY, ITS A RULE THAT EXISTS IN THE RULE BOOK, WE ARE NOT DOING THIS NEWFNLAND STYLE AND MAKING THINGS UP AS WE GO, ITS A RULE, ONCE A TOUCHDOWN IS SIGNALED , EVERYTHING ELSE DOESN’T MATTER. plus, there was over 2.5 minutes left, they could have gone down and kicked ANOTHER field goal, didn’t they have as much to do with that loss too!
David,
2We all know that, but Dolphins fans just don’t seem to want to accept it. But then again, Seattle fans are still complaining about Super Bowl XL, so we may hear griping from Miami fans for years to come.
What exactly did the haiku winner win?
3Mark,
The winner wins the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
But seriously, it’s only bragging rights. But I think I’m going to get a sponsor and have them supply prizes in the future.
