*ahem*
GO STEELERS!!!! WOOOO
Ah.
Now that I've got that out of my system... Who are you pullin' for? Stillers or Cardinals?
Got any great Super Bowl party plans?
Me, I'm hoping to get invited to one, as my television reception isn't the best. Worst case scenario: I'm in the bedroom, tweaking the bunny ears with a 6 pack of Iron City, trying not to swear loud enough that my daughter can hear.

Edit to add: Sorry. I meant to put this in Chit Chat.
Sariea,
Obama does smoke, my dear.
he does? that looks like a sharpie.
although that doesnt mean he doesnt smoke.
i never knew that. it makes me kinda sad

yeah after you told me that i googled obama and smoking and read a few articles. i hope he quits.
I thought that was part of his deal with Michelle--he could run for president if he quit smoking? I think he's still trying to get there though, stress of the campaign and transition and all...

in the time that i've been in the United States i have not learned the rules of your American Football; have seen it played a time or two (live; don't watch television) but can't say that i was drawn to it in anyway ... so will simply work that day & not be rooting for anyone.

Ah well. You could at least take it in as a cultural curiosity.
If it helps, think of American Football as a laboratory for military theory. The plays can be that precise, and as the Ravens/Steelers game showed, almost as brutal.

oh, i've looked before, just never really was my thing ...

... but have seen GO (www.usgo.org) used far more often, and in different terms, for .
thanks though for the idea! hope you enjoy your game!

Mostly I'm pullin' for everyone to hurry up and leave Tampa because I work north of the stadium and the teams arrived yesterday and VIPs are arriving all week and lanes have been shutdown to accommodate all these "special people" while the rest of us are totally inconvenienced. I hate it when the Superbowl is in Tampa! Grrrr!
And for the record: CARDINALS!
Did anyone hear about the PETA ad that got rejected?
State College, Pennsylvania
totally OT, but State College is so freakin' cute!
I was born in State College.
This totally explains your family football dynamics :)
(I came very close to getting a job there. My PSU alum brother, father, godfather, and best childhood guy friend were all going crazy at the thought...)
didnt the steelers and eagles play a superbowl a couple years back?? or was it the playoffs?? i remember at iup there was a HUGE football ... ummm.. battle?? between eastern pa kids and western pa kids. it was pretty harsh. and i think the eagles won. made me proud to be an eastern pa'er
They play every few years. In fact, they played this year. (I forget the outcome... think the Eagles won) During the 2004 season, when the Eagles finally got to the Super Bowl, it was Steelers v. Patriots in the AFC Championship. My brother was at Penn State and was concerned an Eagles/Steelers Super Bowl would have made the University (located in State College) implode--all those Eastern PAers and Western PAers so close. We really are two different states...
I never thought of them as rivals--in fact, in WWII, they combined as one team for awhile. But then again, I didn't go to school right in the middle of the state.
Hiimkelsi! I thought you were from Western PA for some reason... yay for Eastern PAers! ;)b
I grew up near allentown and went to college in indiana PA. eastern PA and western PA are definitely like different states.
Gotta go with the Steelers

i just saw it on perezhilton.com ...i can kinda see why it was banned, but not really, considering this is the superbowl and i'm pretty sure they've had worse things play before.
that just seems trashy. but very peta.... *shrug*
Yea, I'm not really into a lot of what Peta does, but thought it was sort of funny... odd, but funny, especially to picture the faces of the people who reviewed it.. they probably just shook their heads.
Tomorrow!! I'm so excited!
Pittsburgh won
That's riight! Great game!!
And the beagle won MVP in the puppy bowl!!
hahaha, i'm cool ::)
6 Super Bowl rings!
One for each heart attack they gave me during that game...
Haha. That last minute was pretty awesome!
Oh, and congrats to the beagle! I hope no one was hurt.
That last minute was karma for what Arizona did to Philly two weeks ago!
Proud to be a Pennsylvanian :)>>>

Tell me about it!! What a game! We owe James Harrison BIG TIME. If he wouldn't have run the INT all the way in, we probably would have just got a field goal out of that. 6 downs (including the 3 freebies!!) we had on the 5 yard line and couldn't get a TD. Oh, how the Bus is missed...
and_it_spoke, are you within DVE broadcasting range?
It's surprising they made such a stink about the PETA ad when they had all of those godaddy commercials. It's good they got the free press though- thousands of people got to see their commercial for free!
It was also surprising that PETA would have $3 mil to blow on a SB commercial too... ???

I hate those commercials.
