If I were forced to make a choice, it'd be the Steelers, simply because Dan Rooney seems like a decent owner (not many of them left in the NFL these days).

Mostly, I'm hoping for an exciting game and some silly commercials.

I of course rec you Oleeb. But I may not even watch the damn thing!!!

Stillers, all the way baby.

There's a football game on today?

:D

Let's hope they're more like LAST year's Giants.

Jeez guys.

*sigh* Since I live in the Pittsburgh area, I have practical reasons for wanting the Steelers to win (people are much less bitchy the day after). Also, I am an unabashed fan of Dan Rooney, the Steelers owner - and was even before he publicly endorsed Obama in April. :-)

On the other hand, I am from the St. Louis area. And, though Bill Bidwill is the complete antithesis of Dan Rooney, I do still have an affinity for the Cardinals franchise. And, of course, Kurt Warner spent several seasons lighting up the (former) TWA Dome. I especially remember the celebration outside of Mike Shannon's in the moments after Mike Jones's game-saving tackle at the end of Super Bowl XXXIV.

So, I'm torn. I suppose I have to root for Pittsburgh. But I would love nothing more than to see Warner win a second ring, so I won't be upset either way. :-)

Are the Leafs in this one?

YES, Little Stevie!

Let me be the first to dust your shoulders off for your prognosticating skillz. :)

Indeed! That may be the best Superbowl I've seen.

Thank you, thank you...

I am 2 for 2 on my most recent predictions...Obama to become our 44th president and the Steelers winning this game by 4. Actually at the end of the game I was hoping I would be wrong...what a great story it would have been if the Cards won. But it was another great Super Bowl game and the Cards have nothing to hand their heads about. Congrats to the Steelers and their fans!!!

I don't even watch football and I thought it was a good game! My brother and wife are in town in a hotel so I hung around and watched for the company (and okay the ads - just to see).

Excellent info Hillary!

Thanks...

Well I was much happier about my prediction of President Obama... :)

I like it better than last year's - which I liked a lot.

You had two quarterbacks who were absolutely money in the end. I don't know that I've ever seen a SB *loss* that might put a player in the Hall of Fame, until tonight. Kurt Warner now has three of the top six SB passing totals of all time, and he put on an essentially perfect show in the fourth quarter against a brutal defense.

I hope Larry Fitzgerald doesn't hang his head. He's in Randy Moss territory now. He absolutely cannot be defended one-on-one.

As for Pittsburgh...Santonio Holmes made himself a lot of money tonight. :-) I think I'm happiest for Dan Rooney, though. He took a lot of heat for hiring Mike Tomlin over Ken Whisenhunt and Russ Grimm. I doubt Rooney even thinks in these terms, but tonight completely validated that choice.

C'est la vie, eh?

It was certianly up there in terms of great Super Bowls due to the last quarter and the incredible interception by Harrison that ended the 1st half. That was an extraordinary play.

I think Warner proved that he is a Hall of Famer tonight for sure. He's a good fellow despite his right wing Christian politics.

I was glad to see that Bidwell doesn't get the big prize. He is one of the worst owners of any professional team ever. What a bum!

Take a team that was a wild card, didn't have home field advantage in a single game, and the sportscasters continued to vote against every round of the playoffs. New England favored 12 points over the Giants. Have them beat the undefeated New England Patriots with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter and an awe-inspiring drive including "THE CATCH." I'd say that's a contender for best super bowl ever regardless of what team was playing.

Oh yeah, and NYC is the center of the universe.

Wow! You can do much more here to educate than I. I'm impressed with your circle of friends. And thanks for the other wishes.

WOW! Again.

You're on a roll! Time to head for Vegas. But just remember, all that gaudy opulence was paid for by losers.

Warner may have rightwing politics but they did mention his charity of choice is Habitat for Humanity so he's not a total goof. Nice to see his wife grew her hair out. Looks much better than that spiked do she had earlier in the decade.

Right you are about Habitat and his wife's appearance.

I think Kurt is heavily under the influence of a Megachurch preacher so he just follows the political line he's instructed to follow. He has always been a very generous and decent guy with his riches.

Watch out now . . .

Someone may accuse of being from the Left Banke...
