Are you ready for some football? My predictions:
Denver 23/Pittsburgh 13, Seattle 24/Carolina 17
heh, heh, heh....ole johnneeee, the traitor.
most whipped brother on the planet
No, baby...you are. It's spelled "hors d'oeuvres."
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh! I love it when you talk dirty!
Eh, Seattle... Don't mean to butt in, but Bender is my friend and if you hurt him... I'll hunt you down and gut you like a carp!
How can you type and go 60 MPH ? I'm impressed
I've been a Seahawk fan since the first season, it is so great to see them doing this well.
I live in Phoenix, we don't have a professional football team, just the Cardinals.
The closest was the 1984 AFC championship during Curt Warner's rookie year. The Raiders pounded them. I've been waiting ever since.
Good for you...here I am as promised, congratulating you on an awesome performance. The cats were never in the game. Absent a miraculous comeback, all I can say is WOW!
Chris Weinke (Delhomme's back-up). Apparently, Delhomme is trying to set the record for most INT's in a conference final.
It's payback with interest for the Huskies doing so poorly in FB for last 2 years.
And then there was only Detroit, Arizona and New Orleans as the only NFC teams to never go to a Super Bowl.
I'm in northern NJ and I heard them...
Jeramy !!!
I think I'm going to jump on the Seattle bandwagon now... I just wanna see Pittsburgh lose.
Of course, that's not really the greatest sign for Seattle. First (in the NFC) I was rooting for NY (my hometown team), then Washington (where I'm at now) and Chicago ('cause Carolina beat NY), then Carolina (since Seattle beat NY earlier in the year with unsportsmanlike tactics) ... in the AFC I was rooting for Indy (thought they deserved a SB this year), and Denver (would have been nice to see Plummer shake his loser syndrome) in this game.
(Please don't hurt me.)
i remember my first time ... Super Bowl 5, then 6, then 10, then 12, then 13, then 27, then 28, then 30.
That must have been awesome!! Great memory to have!!
I lived in SF during the glory years...and on Super Bowl Sunday, you could stick your head out the window and hear the cheering and horn-honking all over the city.
But, then again, Joe Montana has always had my heart!!
However, Hasselbeck could be my new best friend!!
smirnoff effects my spelling
And prolly one of the lowest passing percentages as well.
"i don't know if i can get excited over a steelers/seahawks super bowl."
See my post #246 in this thread for the rest of them. Fox Sports had an article on what would be the best match-ups in the SB. They rated Seattle-Steelers as #1:
We present here the four possible Super Bowl pairings ranked in order of how likely they are to be a great game, starting with the most enticing and ending with the least exciting.
1. Steelers vs. Seahawks
Why it would be the best game: It would have something for everyone. For casual fans, there are the big stars at running back and quarterback on both teams. Pittsburgh's Jerome Bettis is the respected veteran playing the last game of his career, and Ben Roethlisberger is the young gun looking to establish himself as one of the league's elite. Seattle's Shaun Alexander is the league's most valuable player and the owner of the record for touchdowns in a season, and Matt Hasselbeck is the quarterback so brash he once won an overtime coin flip, leaned into the referee's microphone, and said, "We want the ball and we're gonna score."
For hard-core fans, it's the pass-rushing Pittsburgh defense against Seattle's great offensive line. Seattle's Walter Jones is the league's most powerful left tackle, but the quickness of Pittsburgh outside linebacker Joey Porter could give him fits. With guard Steve Hutchinson and fullback Mack Strong joining Jones in the Pro Bowl, Seattle has three players going to Hawaii for their blocking. They'll need them against Pittsburgh.
Why it could be a dud: Penalties. All four teams in the conference championships are among the league's least-penalized, but Pittsburgh and Seattle had about 100 more penalty yards apiece this year than Denver and Carolina. If there's anything NFL fans agreed on last weekend, it's that the officials left something to be desired, so a 20-penalty game like the one New England and Carolina gave us two years ago is the worst-case scenario. Joey Porter and Troy Polamalu are excellent defensive players, but they've been known to pick up a stupid penalty from time to time. Pittsburgh would be the underdog against Seattle and can't afford to give Seattle a free 15 yards.
