Pam of Pamela's P&G Diner in the Strip called it "crazy."
"We were mobbed the minute we opened the doors at 8,'' she said this morning. "Everybody is wearing their black and gold. People are already lining up at the bars. It's kinda scary!" she said over the din of the breakfast crowd fueling up for last minute purchases of Steeler garb and Super Bowl party food.
A couple of hours later, down a highly congested Penn Avenue at Mancini's Bread Co., a cashier said customers were about willing to battle for pepperoni rolls and sausage buns.

How can you root for the sports finance arm of the Baraqqi regime?
I mean Rooney contributed so much they made him ambassador to Ireland.

If I have to explain you wouldn’t understand anyway.
this sounds like Nancy Pelosi.
"We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it
Nan I thought you were a 49ers fan?
If Obozo is for them it is the kiss of death. That formula is 100% correct for any sports team since he started to mess things up in March of ‘09.
Sorry your team didn’t make it to big show.
Go Steelers.
Green Bay saved the country millions of dollars and unimaginable amounts of carbon emissions by President Obama, his wife, his dog and 50 car entourage, by beating Chicago. I gotta go for Green Bay just for that reason.
What I don’t understand is why wouldn’t Baraq want to be at the SB anyway - to hang with the Rooneys? This guy never misses a shot to be in the limelight?
Theres only one nation, Raider Nation
You guys can be the Steeler union
LOL! The chili is cooking away in the crock pot. It smells amazing. GO PACK GO!
Hmmm. Chili and what a great day for it!
It’s not that hard to understand. He donated about 30k to a committee that supported the Obama campaign and wrote a heartfelt letter to the Pittsburgh Tribune (April 14, 2008) in which he said how much the USA needs Senator Obama, cited his 20 years of public service, and how he inspired him (Rooney) with his “new ideas and fresh perspectives.”
Now he’s the U.S. Envoy to Ireland and doing what he can to advance the Administration’s agenda.
Considering the economy, the troubles in Egypt, the inconvenience to fans, his once again falling poll numbers and the weather- especially the fact Texas was trying to buy electricity from Mexico, might have deterred our great leader a bit- although he’s usually pretty deaf to that kinda stuff. If the Bears had made it, then Obama would have had a ready made excuse and he wouldn’t have taken too much heat for going.
the NCAA final four is in Houston this year
maybe Baraq will stop in for that
I think he’s more of a bballer anyway, LOL
Aren't they those guys that make bagels and hate the Jooos? :)
