We watched the AFC game and wanted the Jets to win since my son is a Jets fan. Too bad they dug themselves too big of a hole and didn't decide to start playing ball until the last minute of the 1st half...

Sick of the Steelers in there all the time - they are like the 49ers/Cowboys.

Watched about two plays of the NFC game. Sorry, but we should have been there if we would have had taken Seattle seriously... If not for injuries and that egg in Seattle, we could have beaten any team in the NFC if we played like we are capable of playing.

So my household will be passing on the Superbowl this year. Don't care for either team left, so we may pop in last year's Superbowl in the DVD player instead!

Was glad to see the Packers roll over Cutler, but I am getting sick of Steeler fans around here as well. It was depressing watching the games and I kept threatening to put in the Saints/Minnesota dvd in because my heart just isn't in it now. I will probably put in the SB dvd in two weeks as well and watch a game that still means something to me.

I guess hanging out with family and friends keeps me occupied on Sunday, so it eases the sting of the Seahawks loss, even that thought we all cant get rid of in the back of our heads is there. (IF we could've just gotten past Seattle, we'd have been hosting the Packers in the Dome Its like the boobies in Saintfan's avatar. Always there in my mind, somewhere.

I'm ok with this year's SB participants. I particularly like Green Bay. If you think about it, they're US. Small market team in a city thats supposed to not be big enough to support a team. For a long time the only major sports team in town. A bunch of season tix holders who drive from the middle of nowhere, and nearby states, (like MS). A much greater closeness to their players, as a result of the smaller town situation, and krazzzyyy fans. The whole area painted team colors. The only thing thats really different is their weather.

I was ok with all of the final four. I just didn't want any of the 14 teams that have never won to have a chance. It's like once you get in an exclusive club, wanting to raise the admission standards.

I live in the northeast. Steeler fans are coming out of the woodwork, which atleast gives me a rooting interest in the SB. Geaux Pack!

When I saw her I thought of you...uhhh...wait a minute. That didn't come out right. THPLT. You know what I mean.

I've always felt if it wasn't us then it was going to be Green Bay. They're above average on both sides of the ball and should make a hell of a matchup against Pittsburgh's attacking defense. I'll be rooting for Green Bay. I typically don't watch Superbowls(I don't know why... I just don't), but I'm definitely not going to miss this one.
