Green bay is going to win with more than a 20 point lead.

Because the Steelers apparently took some tips from this season's Panthers on how to play football.

I'm just going to play the straightman here. Not that kind of bowl.


The sad thing bout this? the game is not even in the second half and there's a 18 point differential.

18pts vs that Defense?

And with the offense playing like their hungover? I think it's safe to call em done.

It's 11, and the Packers' offense is having trouble sustaining drives while the Steelers are eating clock while sendsing two defensive playmakers to the locker room.

The first drive of the third quarter is pretty important to the Packers to reestablish momentum.

Back later...I am going to spend halftime getting ready for work and avoiding the BEP.

I'm not even going to watch it at this point. That way it can be either a pleasant surprise turnaround, or, I don't have the agony of watching the steelers play like drunks.

So long as the book on Favre gets closed forever, I don't care who the victim is. But if the Steelers stop beating themselves the outcome is still up in the air. The game is closer than it looks at this point.

Mute buttons are awesome. The halftime show was still going on when I was done getting ready. Sadly I will miss most of the second half.

Well in this case it just means the Steelers could not hold the momentum they had seized emphatically before I left. Wishing I had a hidden camera at the Favre housefold to watch that geezer kick a hole in his TV set.

Tell you I wish I had used my mute button during that butchery of the national anthem.



Yeah I heard about that later. When that chick from some TV show came on to sing America the Beautiful I hit mute and forgot to unmute until the game had started. When I unmuted and heard Joe Buck talking I almost muted again.

Well, they obviously won.  They did try to make it interesting, though, but down 3 more guys (and with the 15 or 16 or whatever they were already down) it kinda makes sense.  And the friggin' receivers couldn't catch anything that hit 'em in the hands, but a win's a win.  And Jordy Nelson dropped the MVP - literally - by droppin' four friggin passes.  Oh well, Rodgers won it so no biggie.  So yeah, it's nice when one of your teams actually wins even if it's an adopted team.

The Packers should be friggin' amazing next year (assuming there's football at all, of course).  With how well they played when it mattered most down so many starters and without any kind of running game for most of the year, well, I think it's safe to say that they'd be favored whether they won it or not.  Hopefully we'll get to find out.

I think the Steelers threw it away really. They just didn't seem nearly as put together as a franchise with that many Rings should have been.

Ah well there's next year. Maybe my Cats will break 6 wins next year.

Yeah, I'd call allowing 21 points off 3 turnovers givin' it away.  The Pack did what they needed to do, though.  Turnovers don't mean much if ya don't score off 'em and the Pack put up 7 each time.  That's a good stat to have in your favor.

The worse part of Green Bay being Superbowl Champs is now their fans won't shut up about it. I'm not talking about fans that follow the team because its a good team. I'm talking about the Wisconsin Fans that live on the border of Minnesota around me.

Yeah, I know the Vikings sucked this year. I'm not happy about it and I don't need to hear about how Green Bay is "the greatest team to ever play the game. You Suck!" until next season.

Bah, Stoopid Steelers.

As a former Wisconsinite I'd like to say Green Bay is the greatest team to ever play the game and you suck....at least until next season...

Well, all they gotta do is send you & me the kegs. If the coach does that I think they'll be sober enough to play. Not sure if we'll be sober enough to watch, but ya know. It's a sacrifice.

And yeah, I was irritated. I don't care about either team, but me & a friend of mine had a wager that was all in sport. So, since the packers WON, I had to get up in front of the class and "sing the praises" of green bay and also call my buddy master cheesehead. Now, I completely parodized them (and him) the whole time, but I really don't like losing. In fact, I hate it.

Right, because it's impossible that two abrasive personalities couldn't have managed to piss off anyone besides each other, or perhaps that a mod actually looked through a thread when part of it was reported and decided to throw both kids into the corner.
