Pass. :bleh:

Many of us forgot about the pro-bowl, but apparently the tv ratings were still high. I don't get why anyone would watch a game, that even the players don't want to play. :headscratch:

Because it's football which, in terms of popularity, dwarfs all other sports in this country at every level: high school, college, and professional.

It's the violence of it all that's the big draw... Just like that MMA crap.

According to the Weather Channel it's 16 degrees right now in Dallas. I know it's supposed to warm up by Sunday, but just once, I'd like to see a Super Bowl played in real "football weather" :fingerscrossed:

I get the popularity, but it's one game where players aren't even trying; coaches not even coaching. :beaten:

ESPN is making a big fuss over the weather, but It's an indoor stadium. Not to mention that both Green Bay & Pittsburgh are used to playing in cold temps.

Well the defense isn't, that's for sure. :mrgreen:

True, actually the teams don't mind the weather, they keep the sidelines fairly warm, :sweat: plus not just them but the 2 teams they beat also play in cold weather, long as there's not a lot of snow shouldn't affect how the game is played.

U know for some reason I though it was for this Year superbowl when they won it ... lol :beatyou: I got that impression LOL :bonk:

Go Packers!!!!

The NFL announced its new inductees into the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Marshall Faulk, Richard Dent, Shannon Sharpe, Deion Sanders, Ed Sabol, Les Richter, Chris Hanburger.

Faulk had the great fortune to play on teams (Colts and Rams) who skillfully exploited his talents as a runner, receiver, and (often overlooked) blocker in blitz pick-ups. A great great player.

Ed Sabol, as founder of NFL Films, is imo as responsible as anyone--including Pete Rozelle, Lamar Hunt, and Roone Aldredge--for pro football's explosion of popularity in the last 50 years.

Deion Sanders? If you're going to the HOF as a defensive player, shouldn't you be able to at least try to tackle someone?

Cheering for the team in yellow tonight. :beaten:

The flyover was pointless, since nobody could see it inside the stadium with the huge jumbotron blocking their view. :bonk:

Yup, that one :headscratch: I don't understand. But, if Julia Roberts can win an Academy Award, I guess anything's possible.

Packers defeat the Steelers, 31-25. :woot:

Congratulations to the Packers!

Nice to see Rodgers with a ring, but more so a guy like Donald Driver who's been with the team for so long and now can call himself a Super Bowl Champion. Just nice to see a good guy like Driver win.

The Packers never trailed, but made it a closer game than it ought to have been with the dropped passes. Props to Rodgers for sticking with his receivers despite the drops. I remember one point in the game Nelson had dropped a pass, but Rodgers went right back to him next play and got a big gain that led to a touchdown. I was worried the defense wouldn't hold with Woodson out, but fortunately they stopped the Steelers when it mattered most.
