I posted this on the Steelers board. Just wanted to share it here. This game has the makings to be one of the best Super Bowl games of all time. May the best team win.

I have as much confidence as any other Super Bowl year that the Steelers will prevail. That said, I have this oddly calming feeling that should they lose I would be "OK" with it.

Let me explain myself. I've been married to my wife for 10 years. For the first 7 of those she was a Packer fan having been born and raised there. I enjoyed watching and rooting along with her. My first live Steelers game was a trip to Lambeau in 2005 where Steeler Nation was well represented I should add.

With her family still there we've made a number of trips back including one for Packers training camp meeting several players including a then very personable 2nd year Aaron Rodgers.

My wife since divorced the Packers realizing she was truly a Brett Favre fan but that's another story. By then I had come to respect the team and it's passionate faithful "working class fans."

Should the unthinkable happen tomorrow I can honestly believe I'll be able to sit back and say that the Steelers would have been bested by a talented and worthy opponent. They still wouldn't have Six Lombardi trophies and there would always be next season.

GO STEELERS!!!!

Good luck to you packinsteel.
I know quite a few of us on the board noticed her Favre love and for the most part we were fine with that.
I for one was sorry to see her leave the board after his demise.

Today Ed, you are the enemy. Until around 9pm Lambeau time anyway.

Good luck to you...but not too much!

And by the way, we will happily accept Heather back into the fold now that "the ol' Gunslinger," has holstered his six shooter for good. (albiet for a few more possible sexting pics)

I'll pass that along Tripp but doubtful she'll be back anytime soon.

As for today, honorable men in battle. May the best team win. Enjoy the game.

Hey PackinSteel, say hello to your wife for me. Miss her. She's always been one of my favorite posters.

My wife just rolls her eyes everytime I tell someone I hope it's a good game--I told her what my definition of a good game was: GB jumps out to a 21-0 lead in the 1st Q, on the way to a 42-0 spanking of the Steelers.

Anyway, I hope it's a good game... :smile:

I just hope she's not a Big Ben fan now.

Good luck to both fan bases -- just a little more to PACKER fans.

27-17 Green Bay. Woodson with a huge INT. Mark it.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

beast (3h) : Yeah, someone tell the Packers football season has started, seems like they weren't ready for it

Zero2Cool (11h) : Woo-hoo

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Sure does feel like site is more snappy

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy
