Not me. GO STEELERS!

(It was a bit hairy in the last minute and a half though, I must admit.)

i have no idea why yahoo sports picked denver over seattle as the favorite to win the superbowl. they have identical numbers across the board, but seattle has an edge with its home field advantage! besides... seattle is better anyway......

and also seattle will handily beat carolina, but denver will have its hands full and frankly i dont think denver can beat pittsburgh.

Ditto! . I was expecting the Seahawks to win last Saturday,
but they sure made me real nervous in the first half.

I don't think Charles Tillman showed up...

I thought Rex once he got going did alright. It was good to see the Bears score three touchdowns on offense in a single game. At least now we have seen some good outcomes with Rex in the game, so now I have something to look forward to next year.

Can't wait. I've been a die hard Stiller fan since I was about 3. That's when Bradshaw started playing well and the hypocycloids were starting to win super bowls. My parents have had 9er season tix since before I was born so I guess I am a little bit black sheep. Make that black and gold sheep!

Be cautious of feeling too good at home. The black and gold win a lot on the road. And some kid named Ben is now 25-4 or something.

But how good is he at 5000 feet? Denver is a tough team- and used to playing at that altitude. Should be a good game, either way. I still don't think the NFC has any teams worth much for the superbowl. Seattle??? Carolina??? Please...

Not sure yet. Maybe he and Hines can go sky diving and toss the old pig skin around. The AFC championship is the best game left no matter what happens. How good will Jake (I'm a fan of his) be with Troy in his face?

...Yeah, I was amazed at how Polamalu (sp?) was all over the field. He got robbed with that ref call, too. Great athlete. The thing I remember most was after the call was made (that it was not an interception), the camera was on him and all he did was shake his head, put on his helmet and head back to the field to finish his job- no stomping up and down in protest. I was impressed.

Yep, he's a hell of an athlete. Someone did an analysis and he lined up at 9 of the 11 positions on D during the regular season. At Indy he blitzed up the gut and actually became the nose tackle on the play and got double teamed! LOL. His only knock coming out of USC was that he "tended to hit too hard, giving himself concussions."
