The Superbowl!

[Aiden]

So I know I am not the only football fan on E, even if my team is not playing I am happy with who is going to the game.

Who are you rooting for?
What are you doing? Game, stay at home? Hitting a Casino? Superbowl party?
Are you putting a little money on the line?


I am looking forward to the game, I am really interested in how these two heavy defense teams are gonna play. Pass or catching game, if it is the former, people are giving Green bay the advantage but I can not deny that Steelers know what they are doing.


Discuss!

[Remiel]

If Green Bay had a halfway decent offensive line Aaron Rodgers would be unstoppable.

I really have no strong feelings either way, but I'm pulling for the Pack as the Wild Card underdogs.  That and the Steelers tend to play dirty sometimes.

[Beguile's Mistress]

That and the Steelers tend to play dirty sometimes.

>.<


We play hard and tough and if you don't like it take your whimpy bum in your hands and go home!

I am, of course, rooting for the Steelers!

I think the biggest asset they have is Super Bowl experience.  There are enough SB alums to keep the team centered and focused on the game.  We have a quarter back that can keep his head and make plays out of nothing.  He want to be on the top of the winning list and LXV will get him one step closer.  Every other player is looking at this the same way.  Pittsburgh is a town built on firsts and we want to be the first with 7 Lombardi trophies.

We need to establish a running game with some good pass yardage thrown in and hold GBs offense down to a handful of yards then make the have to come up with a game plan to counter what we put up against them.  I have a feeling it's going to be a close game, though, and I'll probably have a stroke before it's done! ;D

GO STEELERS!

[Wolfy]

Sports? Ewwwwww.......

The only thing I'm looking forward to is the Dragon Ball Z kai Marathon...I care nothing for this....Foot-ball, of which you speak.

[Apple of Eris]

Well since I abandoned my home town Eagles after the last offseason, and especially after #7 became the starter (I just can't forgive or suuport a team that has him as their QB), I took up my dad's favorite team (and was rewarded with a Rodgers jersey for christmas).

So, go Green Bay!

If only they had cheerleaders... a Rodgers-Matthews-me storyline... yum!

[Alika Luminos]

The Packers run over little old blind ladies pushing shopping carts full of kittens and puppies. It's truth. So anyone with a soul will root for any team opposing them!

*holds her jacket tightly closed over her Bears jersey*

[Geeklet]

Well, since my Falcons blew it, I'm just happy that a few certain teams didn't make it in (Patriots, Colts, and Jets, I'm looking at you!). So as for the game, I really don't care who wins. I just hope its not a blowout. And I'm hoping for certain scoring options at the end of each quarter. *quickly hides hir Super Bowl Pool chart*

Could not have said it better myself, Beguile!  We don't play nice, we play FOOTBALL!  I've always liked the Packers, in fact they're my number three team, right after the Eagles, but my Steelers made it and they damn well better go all the way and not break my heart this season.  Wishing I was spending the game with my man and his family as I have a fun little grudge match going on with his cousin (who purposely roots for whatever team is playing AGAINST the Steelers <.<).  But alas I am stuck in this frigid wasteland and attempting to convince my aunt to throw a Super Bowl party since her new boyfriend is a football fan :P *crosses fingers*  Whatever happens I know I'll be downing beers and screaming at the tv ... and my mom will probably be shaking her head and saying I get it from my dad.

Wrong thread, exit left or right please.



I knew Bemi would come out and support her team, I saw it in her tag under her Avi but I have to admit I like seeing ladies into sports. I am sure that you Pittsburgh fans can school me on your team any day.

I am leaning towards Steelers myself, a friendly wager between friends.

Still not sure if I am going to go or host my own party, hosting means I have a mess to clean up, so I might end up trying to hit up a sports bar that night.

[Kye]

I'm actually a huge football fan most of the time, but this season was just blah to me overall.  I don't care much for either team, but I'm not a fan of the Steelers at all, so I'll be rooting for the Packers.  If I watch it this year it will be more for the commercials than anything, or just to hang out with friends and chat for a few hours with the game on in the background.

[Cassiopeia]

*urges Aiden to lean a little further with promises of delicious Super Bowl foods*  ;D

[Mithlomwen]

Go Broncos! 

Er.....wait.....

*laughs* 

Well since my team isn't in it this year, I'm not really rooting for anyone.  I will probably watch the game, if I can get my hubby off of the xbox long enough, but I don't really have a favorite team to root for. 

[Beguile's Mistress]

*urges Aiden to lean a little further with promises of delicious Super Bowl foods*  ;D

*promises other delicious things and protection from Brett Keisel*

[Aiden]

I'm conflicted, I want delicious super bowl foods, but I'm not into big burly red headed men...can i have the former and no the latter?

[Beguile's Mistress]

You can have all the food you want.  I said I'd protect your from the guy with the beard that traps small children in it. ;D

Aside from the gambling, I am in total agreement with this.  Certain teams seem to get talked about ENDLESSLY throughout the season, and it just drives me crazy.  Having my ears raped with commentary and drama about the Jets/Patriots game nearly made me want to swear off pro football entirely. :-(  But then neither of them made it to the Super Bowl!  HA!  And the Cowboys had a terrible season in their new stadium, and get to watch the Super Bowl get played in their house while they watch.  Not too shabby.*

All in all, while my Titans were miserable, the season actually turned out a lot better than it might have. ;D




*I dislike the Cowboys quite a bit.

[Alika Luminos]

They also do the same to Bears... ;-)
*ducks*

*stirs a little Ex-lax into Apple's super bowl snackies*  ;D

[Nico]

Go Green Bay! ;D

My boyfriend, myself and some other friends, we'll go to a Super Bowl Party here. Should be great fun. I'm really looking forward to it!

[Valerian]

I'm normally not a huge football fan, but since I was born within three miles of the stadium, my father had season tickets (and also helped design portions of Lambeau Field), and I once lived, literally, across the street from the aforementioned stadium, I'm obliged to root for the Pack.  ;D

>.<

I am, of course, rooting for the Steelers!

Considering that Green Bay's division is commonly known as the "Black and Blue" division, due to the intensity with which the teams there tend to play, I don't think the Steelers play any tougher than the Packers.  (They might, however, play meaner.  I haven't researched that.   ::))

Pittsburgh is a town built on firsts and we want to be the first with 7 Lombardi trophies.

Yeah, the Packers only won the first Super Bowl.  And the second one.  And nine NFL championships before there even was a Super Bowl.  ;)

[Cassiopeia]

And the Cowboys had a terrible season in their new stadium, and get to watch the Super Bowl get played in their house while they watch.  Not too shabby.*

*I dislike the Cowboys quite a bit.

I couldn't agree more >.>  Which is unfortunate since I'm moving to Texas :P

I'm conflicted, I want delicious super bowl foods, but I'm not into big burly red headed men...can i have the former and no the latter?

*winks and offers amazing loaded nachos and buffalo chicken chilly*  Come Aiden ... join us ...  *indicates a fridge fully stocked with beer*

Well, whenever the Steelers play the Ravens, its dubbed the "Black and Blue Bowl", so if that is any indication, it should be a good, tough, intense match.

[Will]

Alright, I think I'm over the Super Bowl now.  We just got several more inches of snow on top of the ice already present, and things are kind of at a standstill.  Most resources are committed to the area around Cowboys Stadium, for obvious reasons, which means that only the most traveled roadways outside of that area are being cleared.  Yayyyyyy Super Bowl. -_-

[Silverfyre]

My Giants are out so I don't really care who wins, but any team with fans who wear cheese on their heads has to be good in my book.  So the Pack it is.

[Aether]

Go Broncos!

It hasnt been the same without Shanahan at the helm.

Super glad that the Colts didnt make it.

I have been pulling for the Steelers cause I really like Roethlisberger and I hope its a good game with alot of scoring.  Oh, and I am hoping there are some funny commercials too  ^.^

Ice and snow has been sliding off the roof of the stadium.  Six stadium workers were injured, one critically.

Figures FOX would have a story like that. :P

Actually, I saw it on TMZ first - I still thought it was funny.

*stirs a little Ex-lax into Apple's super bowl snackies*  ;D

Cruel! :P

[Rhys]

Go Packers!

That said, I expect it to be a good game. And the Steelers could win it. But having lived in Wisconsin my entire life, I know where my loyalties lie. ^_^

[Aiden]

Ok, time to post your favorite super bowl commercials ever!

Here is mine.

Terry Tate takes it all for me.  I love that whole series of commercials they did.

[Alika Luminos]

Cruel! :P

*cackles* Dun mess with my Bears!

I like this commercial. Heeeee

Volkswagen Commercial: The Force

[Nico]

Oh yes, the commercial is great!  XD

Ahhh Super Bowl Coomercials ... how I love thee!  That Vader one is completely brilliant  ;D  I still like these, though they apparently creep my friend out -

"That's not what your girlfriend said!" Ha! Love Betty White!

Can I just say I'm GLAD the Super Bowl is here in Texas and the Cowboys AREN'T playing? *Snickers* And personally...I'm rootin' for Green Bay but it's for purely selfish reasons which if I were to mention everyone would tell me to shut up.
...I want them to win without Favre.
Tee-hee.
<3
*runs away!!*

[Oniya]

*Snickers* And personally...I'm rootin' for Green Bay but it's for purely selfish reasons which if I were to mention everyone would tell me to shut up.

I wouldn't. 

[WyldRanger]

Having grown up a long time Green Bay fan (mainly due to my realitive close proxmity to Green Bay...and the fact that the Lions have never been exactly an ideal franchise  ::) ), AND having the opportunity to always watch the Steelers for years and years (even during the relative down times in the late 80's), I'm actually torn between the two. I think I shall root for whoever makes a great play and enjoy the game for once. :)

[Beguile's Mistress]

TROY-A-SAURUS REX…he eats CHEESEHEADS for breakfast !! 

GO STEELERS!!!



The Art Institute of Pittsburgh … new dinosaur outfit – Troy-a-saurus Rex

[Sweet Trouble]

I am quite happy that neither the Bears or the Cowboys made it... I don't have a particiular like either of those teams and don't mind seeing them get stomped into the mud any time they step on the field.
Yes, I am in Louisiana and do like the Saints but I dont' favor them over any other team. I just don't have a favorite anymore. What I do when I watch is root for the underdog.... so that will have me pulling for the Cheese Heads this year.

[Apple of Eris]

But the Packers are favored...

[TheLovelyMaid]

My Bears are out, and being a Bears fan, I'll naturally root for anyone who is NOT the Packers.

I'm hosting a small gathering tomorrow afternoon, the order at BWW is in, the fridge is stocked with beer.  Let's get ready for some football!

[Sweet Trouble]

The Packers may be "favored" but statistically the Packer are 13-6 and and the Steelers are 14-4.

[DGblitz]

Bah, I'm stuck working until an hour before the game. However, sick and all, I'll be in front of a tv come game time, even if all I can drink is tea and orange juice.

And as someone born and raised in and around the 'burgh, I'll have my Terrible Towel, and be rooting on the Steelers. And really, does Green Bay need the win? The trophy is named after a former Green Bay coach after all. They had him, and still have that bragging right, surely we can have the trophy?  :P

[Alika Luminos]

My Bears are out, and being a Bears fan, I'll naturally root for anyone who is NOT the Packers.

I'm hosting a small gathering tomorrow afternoon, the order at BWW is in, the fridge is stocked with beer.  Let's get ready for some football!

I'm with you on that.

However, that being said...that game pretty much kicked ass even if the damn Cheeseheads won. >.<

(They played well)

(I'll deny I said that until the day I die)

(Quoters of this post may mysteriously disappear)

(That is all)

[Beguile's Mistress]

They're still my team.  I'm still proud to be a citizen of the Steeler Nation.

[Aiden]

They put up a good fight, was a great game. I was on the edge of my seat in those final minutes hoping for that come back and I am not an avid fan of either side.

[The Golden Touch]

*cackles* Dun mess with my Bears!

I like this commercial. Heeeee

Volkswagen Commercial: The Force

Hahahaha... I love it. The only thing interesting to me about the Superbowl is the commercials and the food.

[Rhys]

Steelers put up a good fight. Glad to see the Pack take it though. Didn't get to watch the game but was on the NFL site reading the constant play by play at the end and even that had me on the edge of my seat. :P

[Aether]

It was an epic battle.

[Mithlomwen]

It hasnt been the same without Shanahan at the helm.

That's so true.  *sigh*  Well hopefully they are on their way to rebuilding a decent team since they ditched the head coach. 

[Beguile's Mistress]

It was a good game and I'm glad both teams put up the fight they did.  Neither gave up and both have a lot to be proud of. 

I love my Steelers!

[WyldRanger]

It was a good game, especially as I'm a fan of both teams. I was also impressed with the never say die attitude of the Steelers in the second half and how they made it a real game at the end. Congratulations to the Packers and Steelers both for making this a truly fun game this year. :)

[Torch]

I had no idea who was singing the National Anthem, and when Christina A stepped up, all I could think of was.."Good God, she's gonna fugg it up."

And.....I was right.

Can we please stop with the pop stars and give the job to someone like Ronan Tynan or Renee' Fleming and be done with it? I mean, really....Ugh.

[Beguile's Mistress]

I kind of feel the same way.  The National Anthem is a hymn of praise to our flag and our country and what they stand for.  The honor of singing it should not be taken as an opportunity to jazz or rock it up but to show respect for the words and melody as they are written.

The performers need to remember that it's not their song but that it belongs to all of us.

[Aether]

I was nigh to physical pain listening to that rendition of the national anthem.  Over arranged and over vocalized.

[WyldRanger]

That was a very, very terrible rendition of the national anthem *nods*

[Alika Luminos]

She also messed up the words. >.<

http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2011/02/christina-aguilera-national-anthem-effort-fail/

[Cassiopeia]

I was sad to see that the Steelers lost, but I do like Green Bay so it was hard to be too mad.  The whole time though I was comparing the players and thinking damn the Packers seem scrawny.  Yeah, Rothy is basically ogre sized but still.  The Steelers looked like a bunch of bubbas in comparison :P  It was a great game, I have to say ... and you know Green Bay clinched it because their coach is FROM Pittsburgh.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it *nods emphatically*

As far as the National Anthem goes I had a pretty big wtf moment when she messed up the lyrics.  With Christina I figured she'd fool with the melody big time and add all those unnecessary runs and trills ... all I can say is she'll get way more punishment than she deserves because the media will probably haunt her over this as long as they dogged Janet Jackson over the whole boob fiasco (and thanks for the following years of completely dull halftime shows as a result, Ms. Jackson! >.>).  Personally I would have rather seen Lea sing The National Anthem, as I think she would have screwed around with it less, and Christina sing America the Beautiful because I feel creative interpretation is a bit more allowable for it.

[Beguile's Mistress]

And to think, Christina Aguilera is from the Pittsburgh area, too.

[Apple of Eris]

I didn't even notice the Anthem flub. I didn't really pay any attention till kickoff.

Oh man what a game though! My Packers played a pretty good one. People dropping like flies, busting out a huge lead, then letting the Steelers back into it. Ugh, freaking gave me ulcers. I think I aged ten years watching that game!

Anyway, my boys did their job, now momma can wear her Rodgers or Kuhn jersey with pride!

Oh, and my hats off to the Steelers, they played a really hard game and I was happy that there didn't seem to be much cheap hitting stuff from either team and a lot of mutual respect on the field.
