"Quoth The Steelers, Nevermore"
By Dave Crawley
Once upon a January, bold invaders, skilled and scary,
Made a stop, perchance to tarry, on our Allegheny shore.
Purple people, crass and craven. Could it be the raunchy Raven
Chooses here to make a haven for a brood we all deplore?
Quoth the Towel: "Nevermore."
Game begins. The plot gets thicker. Kick is good!
Our bleached blonde kicker Makes them feel a trifle sicker than they might have felt before.
Roethlisberger running! Gunning! Catch by Holmes! And, Raven shunning, Down the field! A moment stunning, as he dives in for the score!
Quoth the Steelers "Let's get more."
Yet, we knew 'twould not be easy. Interference? (Oh, that's cheesy.)
Now they've made our stomachs queasy, quieting the Steeler's roar.
Second half. Two sluggers fighting. 'Tis a time for nail biting.
Must it always be exciting when we face these fiends of yore?
It shall be, forevermore.
We lead by two, and time is fleeting. Ravens' ball. Their fans entreating.
Could it be we face a beating from this team that we abhor?
But we have no time to wallow. Flacco's pass, to Polamalu!
'Tis a moment tough to swallow, if you hail from Baltimore.
Steelers' defense slams the door.
For the Birds the bell was tolling, as the Black and Gold was rolling.
Soon we'll all be Super Bowling. We've been there six times before.
The Ravens met three times this season, and three times, beyond all reason,
With results we found quite pleasin'. Just for fun, let's make it four.
Quoth the Ravens, "Nevermore."

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
