PHIL COLLINS SHOULD GET A SUPER BOWL RING
Posted by Mike Florio on February 3, 2009, 1:21 p.m.
If the NFL truly is a copycat league, pregame preparations throughout the next couple of years will feature heavy doses of Phil Collins’ In The Air Tonight.
Ed Werder of ESPN reported before Sunday’s game that Tomlin played the song for the team at the secret Saturday night hotel where they stayed.
Receiver Hines Ward told Werder that it put the players in a “meditative state,” and that he imagined himself on the field, making plays.
In The Air Tonight has enjoyed tremendous staying power, given that it was released in 1981 — before Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was born, and when Tomlin was only nine years old.

This is a pretty good idea for a thread, so instead of burying it in the Superbowl thread, here we go.
Steelers / Ray Lewis - In the Air Tonight
The Steelers oddly enough also seem to use some happy hardcore sounding song a bunch in their home stadium. I don't know what the tune is but the crowd seems to know it and kind of oh ohs to the tune. It is really plur sounding for a team playing in Pittsburgh.
The Patriots - Crazy Train
This makes sense in so many ways and on many other levels.
The Colts have used "Hells Bells" as intro music for years, which is bit more butch than their club perhaps. Then again the Jordan Bulls are forever linked to the Alan Parson's Project, which is kind of boss when you think about it.
