Ben and Aaron do Dallas

Last Sunday, the Packers beat the Bears on the road and the Steelers beat the Jets at home.

On February 6th the Steelers and the Packers will face off in a final showdown, and perhaps the biggest game in all of sports: the Super Bowl.  Lets take a look ahead and see what to watch for while you are watching Ben and Aaron do Dallas.

In case you haven't picked up on my "Debbie does Dallas" reference, the Super Bowl this year will be held in Dallas, Texas.  Jerry Jones, the team owner, has made it clear to the world that yes, the old adage is true: everything is bigger in Texas.  The stadium holds up to 100,000 people and there is a $40 million HDTV hanging from the ceiling.  But don't worry Jerry can afford the mortgage payments on this bad boy by offering an option for people who can't afford a ticket to the game. They can park near the stadium and watch it on an outdoor video screen for the low, low cost of only $200!  What a nice guy.

Back to the actual game and not the circus around it...
The Packers played well last weekend.  I know because I was there to cheer for the Bears, but wasn't able to on account of their lackluster performance.  I stood, along with thousands of others, in silence as the Packers ran up and down the field as Cutler faked an injury and Urlacher had what should have been a game changing interception but instead let Aaron Rodgers tackle him.  A quarterback should not be able to tackle ANYONE let alone a big strong defensive player.  It was ugly, and I am still trying to recover after the heartbreak, but I like the Cubs so I'm sure I can get over this.

Back the the actual game and not my bitter feelings toward Cutler and his imaginary injuries...
Didn't I tell you Donald Driver would find another use for that cowboy hat?  The Packers are a really good team.  They were a good team when half of the starters were out on injured reserve.  Now that everyone is healthy, this team is dangerous.  They have a great QB in Aaron Rodgers and are coached by what many believe is the best coach in Football this season, Mike McCarthy.

The Steelers have QB Big Ben and a great running back in Rashard Mendenhall.  Mendenhall was actually passesd up by Dallas in the draft for Felix Jones.  If you don't know Felix's name, then you can see why Dallas fans may be a little bitter that Mendenhall is in town.  Dallas is also a city known for big hair.  Troy Polamalu will feel right at home with his Head and Shoulders locks.  It's amazing how everything comes together, isn't it?
