Super Bowl 2009
 
Steelers vs Cardinals





yawn.


i would have liked to see the Eagles make it, if for no other reason than the novelty of an all PA bowl.

Steelers will win by 15.

Who cares anymore - - the Eagles lost. No one cares about the cardinals - I know they'll try to sell the Cinderella story and all that, but seriously, outside of their local market no one cares. Go Steelers - at least they are in my state.

The Cards are mf'n carpetbaggers, don't belong in Phoenix. The Cardinal isn't even a native bird to there ... I don't much care about moving teams, but teams that move need to leave the name behind (and yes, I know that the Cards came from Chicago to St. Louis, but it's the principle, you know. The name belongs to the City, not the team). They should be called something like the Phoenix Cactuses or Roadrunners or Prairie Dogs or something like that.

Go Steelers, since I have to have someone to root for.

Besides, I'm really in it for the commercials.

It is a little weird having retired names from other cities on your stadium. I like the matchup because I think the Cards would be easier to beat than the Eagles. Sorry Philly couldn't pull through, better luck next year. I just hope Ward can play.

I hope McGahee pulls through, it may be time to rethink the helmets.

go steelers whoopie. thats about all the excitement I can muster for this one. hope its entertaining.

Griff 01-19-2009 07:52 AM

I think it will be. Warner is always a threat and the Steelers offense looks better when playing non-Ravens.

what a messed up superbowl.
i don't agree with the way the cardinals have been run as a franchise.

media will determine where i put my money, but overall, i won't be cheering for either team.
i bet on arizona to win their division... i was also aware how weak the teams in the nfc were, but i certainly didn't imagine that the cardinals could get to where they are.
...on to the stanley cup now

don't worry whip...whether you know it or not, the steeler's season is over

Fitzgerald presents a huge problem but they should be able to stuff the run. If they protect Ben they should be okay, but that has been the issue all year.

Wickedly_Tasteful 01-19-2009 02:00 PM

LETS GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!

Elspode 01-19-2009 06:05 PM

Bidwell is always going to be a pariah in this state, spiriting away the Cards from St Louis, and breaking up a perfectly good baseball/football name pairing.

I'm ready to watch the Steelers kick the Cards' collective asses.

the future is not gonna be so bright.
they have some serious problems within that can only get worse in the upcoming years.
teams have to recycle, the steelers, just like the patriots, are at the end of their line.
its a fact of the sport, its a fact of the buisness.
age and contracts catch up to you.

rebuilding time is ahead.
years must be sacrificed in order for a franchise to rebuild.

.....as i said, i don't agree with the way these teams are run at this time..... it results in a decade, if not more, of being under par.

Steelers by 10

classicman 01-20-2009 08:50 AM

So what WHIP? - They play the game to W-I-N. Getting close or being competitive gets old quick. I'd trade a decade of crap for a superbowl champion in a second. At that rate the Eagles would have three! The alternative is a waste of time... "also rans" second best... who cares? Win or STFU. Thats the deal.
