The Steelers "Turnover" and take it from the Packers

The Green Bay Packers beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 25-31 in the final game of the 2010/2011 season.  Overall here is a look at what happened.

• The Steelers defense was playing like they were startled by all of the bright lights of the cameras.  They had a hard time stopping the Packers on any big down.
• Big Ben (the Steelers quarterback) is known for taking his time in the pocket (he has quite the pump fake).  Normally this isn't a problem, but when your offensive line can't hold the defense you might think Big Ben would try to get out of the pocket and get rid of the ball a little faster.  That didn't happen - I guess I was wrong.
• Packers suffered three injuries during the game that took out some of their starting players,  but that was okay with them as that's how they have been winning all season long.  With injuries ensuing the Packers managed to work with the talent they had to fill the gaps.
• Aaron Rodgers won a new car... and will probably vacation in Disney World as he is named MVP of the game.

What's most amazing about the Green Bay Packers Super Bowl win is that they were a six seed team.  They had to beat Chicago to get into the playoffs, beat the Eagles and Falcons on the road, and then beat Chicago AGAIN.  The Packers definitely took the hard road.  In the end the trophy goes to the best team, and with the way Green Bay crawled back and took their fate into their own hands it's hard to argue with that.

No one mentioned Brett Favre or the potential lockout for next year, Christina Aguilera made up her own lyrics to our national anthem, the cameras caught Cameron Diaz hand feeding A-Rod popcorn, and Mike McCarthy (the Packers head coach) took a bath in orange Gatorade.  It might sound like a circus, but it's America's game and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Diamonds are a Boy's Best Friend

The Packers are going to the Super Bowl and Hell (I mean Dallas) has frozen over.  Tomorrow's big game featuring the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers is fast approaching.  This past week, Dallas was hit with a large storm that brought freezing rain, snow, and ice.  Luckily, Jerry Jones sprung for the deluxe model so Cowboy Stadium has a dome.


I was correct in saying that Donald Driver would have another reason to wear his cowboy hat.  The Packers showed up in Dallas sporting black cowboy hats in an attempt to send a message.  The message was received loud and clear: not everyone looks good in a cowboy hat.  Especially not 300 pound linemen from Wisconsin.


This year the Black Eyed Peas are the halftime performers.  It will be this first time a woman had been the main halftime event since Janet Jackson's boob popped out in 2004.


Here are some interesting facts about tomorrow's game:

• Of the top 10 most watched television programs of all time, 9 of them are Super Bowls.
• A 30 second commercial spot during the Super Bowl costs 2.8 million dollars.
• 8 million pounds of guacamole will be consumed.  To put that into perspective, that would be like covering the field end zone to end zone in avocados that is 12 feet deep.
• 9 million pieces of pizza will be consumed.
• The Vince Lombardi Trophy made by Tiffany takes 72 man-hours to produce; it costs $12,500 - See men love things from Tiffany too!
• The winning team receives diamond encrusted Super Bowl rings.
• No network footage exists of Super Bowl I. It was taped over, supposedly for a soap opera. The two teams in Super Bowl I were the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs. The game was played in Los Angeles. - Oops!

For many tomorrow will be a day of mourning - the football season finally comes to an end.  However, if you are an aspiring Sports guy's girl, then it's a day to celebrate!  You successfully faked it through your first football season.

So, tomorrow enjoy the guacamole, pizza, overpaid commercials, men in tight pants, Tiffany trophy, and diamond rings.  Just remember: in the end diamonds are a boy's best friend.
