Ryan Clark bid an emotional farewell to Pittsburgh and the Steelers on Tuesday night, telling he is "grateful to God that he let me be there. It's just one of the best organizations in sports."
"Ike [Taylor], Troy and Will Gay, they're my brothers man, and I think that's the hard part about this game because I don't want people [in Washington] to think that I'm not excited about it because I really am," Clark said. "But when I was sick they came to the hospital and Troy cried with me and prayed with me. That's the things that I'll miss, that's the things that I'll remember."
Clark also said he won't soon forget the fan support the Steelers enjoy in Pittsburgh and far beyond Western Pennsylvania. "To be able to go places and take over stadiums, the Steelers are spoiled by the fans they have," he said.
