I think I mentioned that my boys were going to the SuperBowl. If I neglected to mention that then let me just say THE BUS IS GOING TO DETROIT!!!!!
Anyone who doubted that... you should be ashamed of yourself.
Headline reads - "The Steelers go into Denver and smack them in the chops."
Any comments besides "Wooohoooo!!!"?
I could'a swore the Steelers and the Seahawks were using the same playbook yesterday. Either that or the Broncos and the Panthers just never showed up for the games.
This time two weeks from now, I'll be mourning one or the other. It should be a great SuperBowl!
Okay, I knew that the Steelers were going to be able to handle the Broncos, that one was easy to predict. But I really thought the SeaHawks were going to have their hands full with the Panthers. Who were those masked men, cause they sure weren't the Panthers that have been playing the rest of the year. :confused: Not that I'm a big fan of the Panthers, but damn, I fell asleep during the game it was so dull!
I hope this is a good Super Bowl, not one of those lame blow-out ones. Either way, I've got a ton of people coming to my house and lots of libations to enjoy, so if it's a blow out, it'll still be fun! :D
The Steelers are a very physical team and they are going to score. Seattle is much smaller on the front lines, however they want to win and can handle the rush pretty well. This may well be the best Super Bowl Game we have seen in a long time. Hopefully they'll both have their game hats in two weeks!
cheers
The Bus stops here in Detroit....you just know that he will try to carry the entire steelers team into the end zone, noway,nohow is he going to come up short.....
Too bad it's indoors, I would rather see them play outside, then it would be a drag em down type of game, espescially seeing as how the outside temp in Michigan can be a killer this time of year.....
Go Steelers.......one for the thumb..... :p
Not that I'm a fan of Steeltown, but I was glad to see them make it to the big show - a friend of mine is bigtime for Steeltown, so he is a happy man right now.. I'm glad to see that the Bus will get to play in the biggest game of his life before his retirement. I thought that Choke, err, sorry, Jake Plummer and his boys might give the Steelers just a bit more of trouble but apparently not.
On the other hand, I'm glad to see the Panthers lose - I live extremely close to Panther central and everyone around here, including most of my friends are Panther fanatics - I personally hate 'em, but that's my opinion - I'm glad they're gone - I've heard nothing but **** talk all season long and last night was my time to talk smack a bit......
All things considered, come Feb 5th, it should be a great game.. I can't wait...
Congrats to your Steelers. I gotta admit, they are lookin' good! Although I didn't put any faith into Roethlisberger, that kid is something man!
I am putting my money on the Steelers now, as much as I want the Seahawks to win, I'm pulling for Pitt!
Man! I wish I was talking about the the Vikings right now. :(

If it's any consolation, I really wish I was talking about the Jags right now. Oh well. Maybe next year! :)
Lol the Super bowl in detroit.
I can hear the coach..."OK team, it's 12 degrees and the people outside are armed"... Lol. Maybe I should go. My cousin is friends with Kid rock, that should get me a ticket.
who is everyone rooting for? I need to pick a team...
It should be a very good game, but Seattle will win of course (you heard it first here).
Go SEAHAWKS
Pittsburgh 34
Denver 17
Carolina 14
Seattle 34
Anyone notice that the final score for both winning teams was 34? And then the 14 - 17 from the loser....
7 -4 = 3.
Then the 4 from both winning teams ... 3 4 ... 34 lol..
Yea if the Lions didn't suck all year round they'd have the advantage ;)Quote:

Hmmmm..................
I wonder if I can get a bet on it over here?.................I got a bet on the new Pope at 20:1, well it serves the Godless little toads right, doesn't it? :D
Ratzinger should have been 20:1 ON , not the other way round..................still it did pay me $700 tax free :D
I will check out whether I can bet on the Superbowl :D
[SARCASM] That might be hard to do. I can't think of anyone that takes bets on the superbowl. [/SARCASM]Quote:
Here is my guess on the superbowl, Pittsburgh will take it 27-24. Gonna be a great game, no doubt about it!
FYI: When the Superbowl teams were official, the Steelers were favored by 4 and the O/U was between 47.5 & 49. Read HERE for more.

hows this for a screwy URL for a gambling site...http://www.childrensmuseum.net/Super_Bowl_Betting_1.htm but yes you can bet on the Superbowl... :pQuote:

Edit: [got your sarcasm] just wanted to let anyone know it was available[got your sarcasm]
Hey guys, my comment was genuine; don't forget that I live in the UK and hicksville UK at that:D
The local gambling shops are pretty selective about what they take bets on, and as I am not a frequent gambler, I don't have an account with any of the big boys.
:)
That is true. I was in the UK a fews months back and wanted to put money on the MLB World Series. Not a chance! If I wanted to put money on the local Soccer, Cricket, and Rugby teams, I was set.Quote:

If only I had a clue which temas were good. Or how those damn games are even played! :confused: J/K!
Hey nihil. How about an online gambling site?
I'll take the Stampeders 3 to 1...OPPS! Wrong thread, wrong bet :eek:
Personally I don't care much for either team...Detroit Lions/Green Bay Packer fan...so...I'm hoping they'll all get the flu on Superbowl Day and the game will be called on illegal hurlng :D
Eg ;)
Bah, the bears should have beaten the panthers... The great defense the bears had all year round was no where to be seen during the game against the panthers...
Hi KorpDeath
I did think about that, but for the amount of betting that I do, I could not be bothered with the effort of setting up an account, and worrying about the security.Quote:

I generally just bet when we get to the track, which would be maybe twice a year?
I do have a go on our national lottery...........last week I roped HTRegz in...........Anglo-Canadian Alliance? we were pathetic, both of us got one number out of six!!!!! they were 8 and 28, but I cannot remember who got which.
Are you there HT~ this week I am going to put you in the Eurolottery.........it is about time you strengthened your game :D
It is a "rollover".............like about £100,000,000 (GBP)..............so, I want you to go all the way to Toronto, get that job, then..................................... :cool:
:D
I had missed the weekend before last's games due to travel, but I caught them this weekend - and after watching both team, Steeler and Seahawks, and consulting some football gurus and checking my crystal ballz - it all points to the Steelers. CBS Sportsline has an article highlighting the Steelers strengths:
http://cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/story/9185854
And on the CBS Sportsline site they are taking a poll on the winner - with @35,000 people weighing in right now with their opinion, it looks like a majority of the people are taking the Steelers (64%).
However, while I am picking the Steelers, the Seahawks are obviously kickin' auss as well. In any case, it should be a great game!
"Go banana!" - Ralph Wiggum
I made a lot of pocket money on the Steelers back in the '70s. I was a Steelers fan when it wasn't popular (at least back East where I was stationed) and I always picked them on the office pools. This was before the Seahawks even existed (they came in in 1976).
Anyway, I like to bet the odds. With all the hype going the Steelers' way, a judicious bet on the Seahawks should bring in a nice wad of cash come Feb. 6.
;)
Not when they lose big to the Steeltown crushers. I admit the Seahawks are a good team...but it'll take better than a good team to stop the Bus and co.
I'd split that wager so you aren't throwing money in the trash.
BTW rapier, what are you smoking and why haven't you offered to share??? LOL
KorpDeath: I'm with you on the Steelers man.. my team is the Eagles (second team is Steelers, but yeah..) but since they aren't in it (which sucks) I'm with the Steelers all the way.. And you're right.. who can stop the Bus and Big Ben? Not to mention Hines Ward, Antwaan Randle-El, Troy Polamalu.... I can go on forever.. :D
Who can stop ... ????
The Seahawks defense, of course. They've dismantled or nullified just about every hot offense in the NFL, to date.
Go Hawks!
EDIT:
Oh, yeah. I got my money down now.
GO HAWKS!!!!!
Good luck. LOL Let the trash talking commence! HAHAHAHA.
Gotta keep the trash talk going!
Just put a few more bucks down on the Seahawks! They arrived in Detroit yesterday and the city obliged with rain and gray skies. How's that for making the soon-to-be Super Bowl champs feel at home!?!?!?!?!
Go Hawks!!!
Did the "Hawks" bring their Longjohns, oh right it's indoors....The Bus express is going to go through the Hawks defence like they were from the West Coast...........oh right, they are from the West Coast......hopefully they'll put their surfer boards away long enough to watch the steelers roll all over them..... :D
What the hell is a Seahawk anyway's, is that like a "Seagull" (Sh*thawk) on steroids........ :p You know what seagulls are good for eh!......picking up the trash on the beach, the leftovers, just about what they will be getting on Sunday........ :D
Much as I hate Pittsburgh (ever since they beat my Cowboys back in the 70's) I've got to pick 'em over Seattle. Contrary to those of you who've picked points spreads, however, I'll say it'll be a blowout - expecting a 14 point spread at least, looking for more.
I dont watch football I only watch the superbowl so as I do every year, I'm going to go for the underdog..the seahawks :-D
I better remember to bring the waders tomorrow. I can see it is going to get deep and messy around here.
Seahawk is another term for Osprey, a raptor that dines on fine seafood and lives in high places.
I hope Dallas gives Drew another season or two to get in the groove, and then they just might see a post-season game. He's the best quarterback they've had since ...
Well, it must have been back in the 70s.
If you think the game will be a blowout, you may be right. Just going the other way.
I think they're keeping Drew. Talk is they're losing their coach - but that's typical of the idiot stick that owns them and hasn't been happy since Landry. Disagree on q-back...
Staubach just pwned, and retired.
White just sucked.
Aikman was actually very good when he didn't get his bell rung. Those concussions ended his career - lack of a line, not lack of skill on his part.
We won't discuss any interim qb's between White and Aikman or between Aikman and Drew :P
Why is it that there is always some schmuck who comes along a derails the thread???? HUH? Dallas has been a long way to go and may never return unless Jerry Jones kicks the bucket.
Now back to the real story: The Steelers and the Seahawks.
Why are all of the Seahawk fans I run into just a bunch of ignorant a-holes? And what I mean by that is they are the most rude, incoherent, unintelligent, morons I have ever met. (And I mean even next to Philly fans) lol
Nah, you're confused. Those ignorant, rude, incoherent, unintelligent morons are Raider fans. Who else could they be.
Seahawk fans are nice, mocha or latte drinking, polite, well-heeled, wildly sexy and intelligent.
Just ask anyone.
;)
Ya know you, personally, might be in the minority. For a team that has never seen the superbowl I figured they'd be a bit more subdued. ANyway the fans dont make the game so I digress.
I can't really comment on raiders fans, my wife is one. But I can, from personal experience, say that 49er's fans are collectivley a bunch of morons. LOL Throwing lit flares at cars after they WIN!!!!!! some people.
Just think if Detroit ever won, those wouldn't be flares........ :D Lol at least it's not the Broncos again......RiotsQuote:
Throwing lit flares at cars after they WIN!!!!!! some people.
Well, there are things to love about Seattle. With the Seahawks on this roll, Sunday night and Monday will be interesting days. After the SuperBowl win, there will be dancing in the downtown streets, in the rain no less. Monday, several companies are giving their employees a paid day off.
Not that they will be coming in to work in any case. 'C'mon, the Seahawks will have won the SuperBowl. Time to paaaarrrrrrtttttteeeeeeee!
;)
I like your optimism Rapier, but unfortunately ya'll will be drowning your sorrows not celebrating a win. ;)
Aww KorpDeath, I was starting to like you... *sigh* ;)
