PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Talk about a heart-stopping game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts.
Terry O'Neill, 50, of Pittsburgh, was watching the game at a bar and had a heart attack seconds after Jerome Bettis fumbled trying to score from the 2-yard line late in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger prevented the Colts' Nick Harper from returning the recovered ball for a touchdown and the Steelers hung on for a 21-18 win.
O'Neill said Bettis is his hero.
"I wasn't upset that the Steelers might lose," he told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "I was upset because I didn't want to see him end his career like that. A guy like that deserves better. I guess it was a little too much for me to handle."
O'Neill, who was recovering at a hospital, credits two firefighters with saving him.
"The Steelers won the game and I'm still alive, so I guess I'm doing pretty good," he said.
He will have a pacemaker implanted to control an irregular heartbeat and he was prescribed medication to deal with the hypertension.
While he would like to go to the bar Sunday for the game against the Denver Broncos to thank the guys who saved him, O'Neill said, "I guess I should probably take it easy and watch the game at home."

Oh come on Terry, treat yourself and go to the bar. You deserve it.

A Steeler fan died last year and at his funeral he was dressed in Steelers shit and in a recliner watching steeler fottage, and I think he had a beer. Crazy Steeler fans!

Fucking crazy steelers fans. He's probably one of those douchebags that cheers after every play no matter what the outcome.

I think he was interupted though when Bettis fumbled.

as compared to eagles fans who pout during the bad times and are arrogant during the good times?

I'm arrogant either way, so I have no clue who you're talking about.

Is there seriously a true fan out there that does not act this way? I mean, what else are we supposed to do during the bad times....rejoice? And during the good times are we supposed to hang our heads and proclaim that we suck?


This post made no sense, and you should be ashamed.

LOL Can I post this for a classic post?

I'm sure he is, but not for that post.

A true fan would have had to have his hands pried from the bar stool as he layed unconscience.

I actually think it's the other way around. I pout during the good times because, like Al Bundy, I know that the bad times are twice as bad as the good.

I rejoice for bad times. I don't have a good explanation for this, other than it has become my natural setting over the years.
