***Super Bowl XLV Green Bay Packers v Pittsburgh Steelers - Official Match Thread***

[Acker79]

My favourite version of the american national anthem would take part of reba mcentire (wrestlemania 8) and Aaron Neville (stars and stripes challenge). Any time a 'diva' type singer does their anthem they always over egg it like that.

There was a report that advertisers were/are paying $100k a second

Divided over this one as i like both teams.
Would go for Green Bay if pushed as they haven't won it for a while.

I thought thats what the superbowl was all about?

I wish they had a red button commentary for dummies option. Interested in it but just don't understand the sport! Will support Green Bay though seeing as the others are like Man U!

BBC has a red button, gives you choices of commentarys (radio 5 one may be best bet for novices).

Neon Deon does the coin toss, has anyone else played baseball and NFL at the top level since him.

Probably.

Apparently 400 fans are locked out as the temporary seating was not finished. $900 tickets! Refunded at triple value. Doesn't help much if you have travelled a long way and bought accomodation. Or indeed, bought them on the black market.

Green Bay won the Toss and will receive in the second half, HERE WE GO!

 

[Beach Hut]

Steelers to receive the ball

We, in the Hale household, are cheering for the Green Bay Packers.
Why? Well, because the Mrs likes green...
Go Packers, Go!

Much as I enjoy a bit of Gridiron, I am so glad that our national sports aren't a choice of this, Basketball or Baseball.

 

[Beach Hut]

Incomplete, Steeler out on first possession

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Obviously there is more to it than just being big, but how much can a 'blocker' expect to earn?

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Nearly a massive turnover

 

[Beach Hut]

Big potential fumble here by the Packers, very lucky as they keep the ball.

For a start how are both teams allowed to have yellow bottoms?

 

[Turkey]

The Steelers just ran out to 'right here,right now' by fat boy slim! Cool

Might have to support them now!

Not since.

Bo Jackson did in the late 80's

Michael Jordan played baseball after he retired from basketball

 

[Beach Hut]

Big play by the Packers and a flag as well, but against Steelers

That was the one I couldn't think of the name, wasn't he a Raider as well ?
