Oh man, GREAT point! I live here in Philly and my friends are SO obnoxious. This will be the first thing I say whenever I see them for a good year!!!

BRILLIANT!

Re: Who are you rooting for in Super Bowl XLIII?
 

Im goin for the Cards cuz [I] really like and respect Kurt Warner,Boldin ,Fitz and Karlos Dansby I always wished Snyder would have brought Warner here when he was a free agent a few years ago If he had a could've been us in the super bowl

Re: Who are you rooting for in Super Bowl XLIII?
 

I'm going Arizona. I'm a huge Kurt Warner guy, they're in the NFC, we beat them this season.... I do like Mike Tomlin and would love Ryan Clark to have a Super Bowl Ring too, so I wouldnt be upset if Pittsburgh won.

I wouldn't mind if Pittsburgh won either, that would shut up all these New England fans who whine about not being called a dynasty.

Re: Who are you rooting for in Super Bowl XLIII?
 

Cardinals. Why? Because they never have. Steelers have 5 trophies. Isn't that enough? I always thought the Redskins would eventually catch up with the Steelers and the Cowboys and the Niners...
Gotta love old man Kurt Warner and the rest of their young team. Great team and personal story. Steelers always seem to field a great team. I have the utmost respect for the Steelers and their organization. Top to bottom. Steelers should win by 14 or more. As long as the Cards can score it'll be a great game!

I won't be disappointed reguardless of the outcome because I don't dislike one of the teams like I would if the Eagles or Patriots were playing.

Re: Who are you rooting for in Super Bowl XLIII?
 

Cardinals. Even though my Brain says, the Steelers will make it.

Re: Who are you rooting for in Super Bowl XLIII?
 

I'm a defensive guy, and the Steelers' D is outstanding, plus I think Tomlin is a pretty good coach. That's why I'm going with the Steelers

Re: Who are you rooting for in Super Bowl XLIII?
 

Arizona. I like an underdog story.

Holy crap the Cards are in the Superbowl and the President is black. The end is nigh.

Easy - the Cardinals. NFC rep, never been, much less won; the Steelers have 5, that's more than enough. :)

Bro, first of all It was a joke. Let me give you the Websters Dictionary for a joke:

"1. something said or done to provoke laughter or cause amusement, as a witticism, a short and amusing anecdote, or a prankish act: He tells very funny jokes. She played a joke on him.
2. something that is amusing or ridiculous, esp. because of being ludicrously inadequate or a sham; a thing, situation, or person laughed at rather than taken seriously; farce: Their pretense of generosity is a joke. An officer with no ability to command is a joke.
3. a matter that need not be taken very seriously; trifling matter: The loss was no joke.
4. something that does not present the expected challenge; something very easy: The test was a joke for the whole class.
5. practical joke.
–verb (used without object) 6. to speak or act in a playful or merry way: He was always joking with us.
7. to say something in fun or teasing rather than in earnest; be facetious: He didn't really mean it, he was only joking."

Now seeing as how your an oversensitive wanker who can't take a joke let me break down the punchline. The Cardinals making the Superbowl and seeing a black President are both things people thought they would never see in their lifetime. There in lies the humour.


Another reason your an idiot? I'm black! If I can get a giggle out of it then so can you.

Re: Who are you rooting for in Super Bowl XLIII?
 

Go Cards, I like their coaching staff better (nothing against Tomlin, but gotta love Grimm) and well, they've never been there. Steelers fans can get annoying... as dedicated and hardcore of fans as they can be, they've got one of the bigger bandwagon segments in the game as well. Nothing really against the team, but let's stick with the NFC and the team that our division used to perennially pummel.

Re: Who are you rooting for in Super Bowl XLIII?
 

I've always liked the Steelers. They've been the only team that I can think of that has maintained an identity for decades. Strong physical D, and great run game. I openly envy them as a skins fan.

Also, I'm really not getting the lack of respect I've been hearing about them around the "water cooler". I know the steelers are favored, but all I keep hearing about is how great the cards are playing... no one mentions that the steelers completely manhandled baltimore and played far more physically than they did.

anyway, i like their brand of football. always have. i hope and think they'll win.

Re: Who are you rooting for in Super Bowl XLIII?
 

Cards!!! It helps me sleep better knowing that the Skins handled the Cards in the regular season... The NFC is up for grabs next year!

Re: Who are you rooting for in Super Bowl XLIII?
 

Arizona is a GREAT story this year and people are going to say I'm a jackass for saying this, but I really don't think that the Steelers deserve it, the same way I didn't think the Ravens deserved it when they won it.

I love great defense, but I really think you have to at LEAST be effective on both sides of the ball and I hate the idea of having a great offense or defense and letting the other suffer just because you're elite on one side of the ball. You could bring up a lot of points that you could legitimately argue against that, but I just don't feel like the Steelers deserve it.

Re: Who are you rooting for in Super Bowl XLIII?
 

Are the Steelers any less effective on offense than the Cardinals are on defense? Well...are they, jackass?

Re: Who are you rooting for in Super Bowl XLIII?
 

I chose the Cards because the Steelers have already won a title but if they lose I'll still be glad Tomlin got one.

Re: Who are you rooting for in Super Bowl XLIII?
 

Going for the Cards but I think the Steelers may be too much for them.
It would be nice to see the title stay in the NFC.

[quote=SmootSmack;523315]Are the Steelers any less effective on offense than the Cardinals are on defense? Well...are they, jackass?[/quote]

YES YES, OMG YES you sumbitch!

Cardinals defense is 133t. Seriously though, I honestly think that the Cardinals have a really great defense. I think their only weakness lies at one corner spot and one LB.

Apparently you're the one that can't take a joke. Ruhskins just made a non personal statement/opinion/joke. But you had to take the time to insult him personally calling him a Wanker. The definition of Wanker is one who masterbates. But I'm sure you knew that when you made the statement.

Also you stated the reason he is a idiot is because you're black. That's ignorant. Nobody cares if you're black. And to be honest the people you talk about not thinking they would see a black president obviously underestimated the American people. It took both White and Black people to elect Obama. No one race of people did it on their own. Some black people just didn't believe that white people would vote for a black man. Wrong! Tired of the Chris Rock mentality.

Sorry to anyone if this seems out of line. I just felt it needed to be said considering the way Ruhskins was quoted on post #50

First off if a team is in the super bowl they deserve it. However, if either of the current super bowl teams doesnt deserve it its the Cards. The won the easiest division in the NFL with a 9-7 record. The Steelers were 12-4 and a top seed in the playoffs. Dont forget also that the Steelers played most of the season without a running game due to injuries and still managed to win 12 games. Its not that they dont have an offense, it that the O has had a lot of injuries.

AZ is a great story and have been hot but now they have had to take 2 weeks off and I think that 2 weeks will cool them off.

Like I said before, there's plenty of arguments that go against my opinion, but I, Malcolm, just don't think the Steelers deserve. I feel like if you were to ask the Steelers offense if their defense has ABSOLUTELY CARRIED THEIR ASS all year, they would have to hang their heads and agree. Injuries or no.

And sure Arizona played in a weak division. They also beat some pretty good teams this year AND played extremely well in the playoffs.

Remember how the Vikings drafted Hank Baskett and traded him straight up to the Eagles for Billy McMullen? I happen to think Jon Gruden is going to try to get a piece of that action with Anthony Mix.

I'm so happy, I didn't wake up this morning knowing how I'd work Anthony Mix into a post, but now I have.

The Steelers O averaged 21 ppg without a running game. Not the greatest but certainly not like Balt when they won the title. When a D only gives up 14 ppg and the O can get 21 it sure makes the O's life easier. If those number were reversed then I'd agree with your carried their ass theory but they arent so I dont.

I guess I dont know your definition of pretty good teams but in the regular season the only pretty good teams it looks to me like they beat were Mia & Dallas. They did get hot in the playoffs and thats all that counts and shows the importance of just getting in because once you are there anything can happen.

People said the same thing about the Giants last year and they got hot at the right time and we know how that turned out. It does not matter how a team gets to the SB its what they do when they get there. Who's still talking about the Pats winning all but one game last year. No one well maybe a few people.
