Superbowl picks?

I can't say I'm the biggest Steelers fan in the world, but you can't take away from their accomplishments. They're not a pretty Hollywood type of team--they play tough football (a little too tough at times), but most times it's just in your face, not afraid to hit him football. And Rothlisberger (again, not a fan) is a beast once he gets his rhythm (which is most of the time).

Besides, they represent the AFC--the best conference in the world baby! And even with their issues last night, I don't think there was a better team that could represent against Green Bay.

And Green Bay didn't actually have a stellar performance yesterday either, they just hung in there and took better advantage of some breaks given up by the Steelers having a rough day.

Congratulations to both teams! I'm not mad at either of them.

might as well been by Sixty . Packers came out very conservative in third quarter like they were trying to sit on the lead which is ALWAYS a stupid idea. Remember James Jones dropped a sure touchdown as well .

I don't understand rooting for a team just because they're in your conference. I'll never pull for an NFC East team other than Dallas, the Giants in Super Bowl XLII being the only exception. And I'd never pull for the 49ers or Steelers. The Packers could be included in the group. Sunday was a choice between the lesser of two evils. I would think that the last thing a Browns fan would want is for another Pittsburgh championship.

I doubt Chicago and Minnesota will give the Packers a standing ovation when they come for a visit.
 
I never understood the whole rooting for your teams conference no matter what. if my team loses, then who gives a crap about what conference a team is that you root for.

You have your way of doing things, and I have mine.

And I am a Browns fan (I love their sorry butts to death) and have no problem with another Pittsburgh championship. So what? As long as it's an AFC team and it's not the Ravens, I don't have a particular preference. The Steelers are a really good team--I'm not a fan, but it's the truth. They didn't buy those Superbowl rings you know...........

Although I did enjoy the hell outta' the Giants knocking the wind out of the Pats a couple of years ago and I was glad the Saints won last year.

I really don't see the need to defend my position on this at all. I'm a sports fan, not some die-hard fanatic.

See my response above to Tickle Fiend--hope it helps. If not, then you have your way of doing things and I have mine. Again, I see no real need to defend my position beyond what I already have.

I understand. I'm one of those die-hard fanatics. I base all of my decisions on one thing: what effect will it have on the Dallas Cowboys?

*scratches head*

I wasn't exactly calling you a die-hard fanatic personally.

I was saying that my approach is obviously different than others' and didn't see the need to defend it. I enjoy sports but it's not exactly the cure for cancer so I don't take it nearly as seriously as I know some do. I used to let it stress me out to the point of calling off work on Mondays if the Browns had a bad game back in the 1990s. No one should let anything have that type of effect on them, IMO.

I wasn't joking or being sarcastic. I actually do base all of my decisions, at least those related to football, on the effect it will have on the Cowboys. I don't think I've ever called-out of work because of a loss, but I do let it get to me more than it probably should.

If you were watching Kosar and crew back in the 1990s, you might have needed medication from the emotional upheavals, frustrations, and maybe-next-year disappointments. I had to back away for a long time so I could remember that it's only a game; if it doesn't put a dollar in my pocket or enhance the quality of my life, it's not overly important to me.
