Who are you rooting for in Super Bowl XLIII?
 

Vote and discuss who you will be rooting for, not necessarily who you think will win the game.

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

Im going with the Cards. Warner has been proving me wrong all year.

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

I'm rooting for the Cardinals. irish made a solid point the other day making the case for the Steelers and their storied success, but with Wisenhunt, Grimm, and Rutledge (all who played for Gibbs) on the Cardinals's staff it's hard not to root for them.

Not a fan of the Bidwills, but I won't hold that against the Cardinals.

Also, rooting big time for Kurt Warner. It's amazing that nearly a decade later he's returning to the Super Bowl after everyone (myself included) thought he was done.

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

I'm rooting for the Cards, but truthfully its a win win SB for me. I am still happy that the Eagles/Ravens are not in it!

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

Russ Grimm and the Cardinals!!

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

The Cards, because their success reinforces the fact that in the NFL, any team can do it in any given year.

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

Cards.
Warner is a great story...one more hurrrah

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

This is a tough one for me. It would be cool to see the underdog Cards pull it off, especially with their staff's connections to the Skins.

But my Mom is from western PA, so she and a lot of my relatives are big Steelers fans. They've always kind of been my second team (I'm soft on the Bills too, since my dad is from just outside Buffalo).

All that said, I'll be pulling for the Cards.

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

Definitely the Cards. That team has been roaming in the desert, both literally and figuratively, for years.

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

Steelers, my deceased father's side of the family is from Latrobe. I have family in Tuscon as well, but they are Skins fans. Normally I would like to see the NFC win it, but with the way thing are going right now whoever I want to win ends up losing, so we'll see.

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

Cards, After watching them play the Atlanta I just kind of thought it would be cool to see them make a run with all the people picking the other teams to win. I also like the Warner story.

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

Cards for me obviously. I'm tired of the Steelers and they already have their share of hardware. The Cards are a great cinderella story.

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

CARDS!

NFC.

and they beat the loser beagles.

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

The Cards because I want rub it in my friend's face whose an Eagles fan that EVEN the Cardinals have a Superbowl trophy and you don't!!

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

The Cardinals.

No one needs to hear how the Steelers are the only franchise that has 6 Super Bowl titles. These guys are already pompous enough, no need to make things worse with that record.

Although you might as well pencil them in as the victors. Nobody is stopping them. They needed to sustain more injuries in the AFC title game for the Cardinals to have a chance.

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

Definitely the Cardinals. I like a lot of their players (Wilson, Fitzgerald, Warner, Boldin, Dansby, Dockett) and I live in PA and i'm really growing tired of the Steelers fans around here.

I'm rooting for the Cards, but if there's a team that I want to see with 6 SB championships, it would be the Steelers over Dallas and 49ers.

I'm not so sure, a couple of my friends who are big Steelers fans are scared to death of this game, mainly because of Whisenhunt and Grimm's knowledge of the Steelers and their players.

If Warner can beat their blitz like he did against Philly it could be very interesting.

But the Steelers winning can be put in Cowboys fans faces and that is good too.

Far better than the boys getting that title some day.

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

Steelers just because it will irk the heck out of Jerry Jones since he was expecting to win the SB this year and be able to brag about being the only team to win 6 superbowls as he opened his new stadium. Now he will be back to trying to catch up with the Steelers and is having a hard time selling out the overpriced seats here in the new stadium.

I do hope it is a good game thou. I don't like/dislike either team, but think the Steelers are the more consistent and better overall team.

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

I'd say the Cards. Steelers have one some Super Bowls, not that long ago, it'd nice to see an underdog team have the limelight for once.

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

The Steelers because like I said in a previous post, they do things right and their consistency is no fluke or one year cinderella story.

I think a lot will be made of the AZ coaches coming from Pgh but I doubt that will make much difference as whatever the AZ coaches know about Pgh, Pgh knows about the AZ coaches as well.

I think if the Steelers get off to a fast start and AZ doesnt this game will get ugly as one could see the shine coming off AZ when they started to blow the lead vs Philly. If the Steelers hammer AZ early they will crack and the game will be over.

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

I really don't care who wins as long as it's not the Cowboys. It would be nice to see Warner get another Super Bowl ring with a team that has never won a Super Bowl. In the sports bar I go, I have a lot of Steeler friends. I have no problem seeing them get another championship.

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

Absolutely the Cards. You feel bad for a franchise that has been that bad for that long. Plus, Larry Fitz just leaves me with my mouth ajar sometimes.

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

CARDS!!! Still bitter about the steelers fans from when we played them.

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

The Cards because I live about 45 minutes from Pittsburgh & have to listen to their fans dog me about the Skins.

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

Cards. Like everyone has said ....Cards need some hardware, Pitt already has hardware, Pitt has won recently and I would rather see a new team win for a change, Redskins ties, and Larry Fitz. He's like a Timex takes a licking and keeps on ticking. lol.

I'm not going to say Pitt can't do it cause that would be stupid and as they say any team on any given Sun. but I like the Card chances of being able to put up points. I know they will be playing against the best D but I still think the Cards will have something planned. Pitt's offense just looks pittyfull. They almost seem like us if they can keep the score down low then they can win but if they have to play keep up I see them losing.

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

Cardinals. They represent the NFC, I like Warner and there are a few former Redskins on the coaching staff as well.

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

Cardinals. I think that would take the Steeler fans down a notch and I can't root against a team that has Grimm as a coach.

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

I'm in the Cards camp for 3 reason: 1) They've never won the SB, 2) They're an NFC team, and 3) I'll be able rip on Seahawk fans with "everyone in the NFC Least has a SB except you guys."

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

Cardinals!... gotta root for the underdogs...especially here.

Plus I had my "TD Trio" of Warner, Boldin, & Fitzgerald in fantasy all year... they did serious work. (and people thought i was crazy when i took Kurt)

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

Can't wait for the "Thank You Jesus". Anybody who was stocking shelves and then became the MVP has got my vote.

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

I feel like the Cards in the next couple years have the chance to be the next Rams type offense (Greatest Show on Turf II). I guess it depends on KW health and ML progression.

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

Go Cards, i don't dislike the steelers as an orginization b/c they do it the right way. Im pulling for the Cards for the fact I can't stand steeler fans.After living 5 years south of pittsburgh i grew a extreme hate for their fans. It got even worse after being there for that monday night game(thanks all you skins fans selling your tickets to them) half their fans have no real connection with the city of pittsburgh and it makes it more anoying. It sure is easy for someone to cheer for a team thats in the playoffs almost every year than your hometown team were you are from.

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

Def. going for the Cards as well. I've always had a soft spot for them because of their history and I like several of their players as well. I'd love to see Adrian Wilson and Larry Fitz get rings too.

Also mainly cuz I still have that dislike thing going for the Steelers after the mockery they made at Fedex Field earlier this season. Not just that I don't want them to become the first team with 6 rings either.

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

I actually dreamt about the Super Bowl last night. I dreamt that the Steelers scored a TD with about 20 seconds left in the game to take a 22-21 lead. Then they decided to go for two, just in case the Cardinals could get a FG in the last few seconds of the game to send it into OT. Berry hit Roethlisberger hard and he fumbled the ball, there was a mad scramble for the ball until Rolle picked up and started racing toward the end zone with time running out. He got to about the 11 yard line before a bunch of Steelers jumped on him ending the game.

Wow. Pretty vivid dream. You've got it here in print, so let's see if you're some kind of clairvoyant.

That seems eerily similar to the Colts-Steelers AFC Championship game when Bettis fumbled, Nick Harper picked it up and was heading for the game winning score, and Big Ben saved the game with his shoestring tackle....

I'm headed to Sportsbook.com right now....you better be right :)

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

Have to pull for the Cards for many reasons....
