Great game. There hasn't been a lame Superbowl game for a long time.

Too many turnovers for Pittsburgh to overcome.

Rodgers is the real deal.

I wonder how good this Green Bay team would have been had they stayed healthy. I imagine this team would have set new records if they still had Ryan Grant, Jermichael Finely, and Nick Barnett all year.

Nothing could be better than having the Green Bay Packers reclaim the Lombardi trophey in Jerry's new Cowboy shrine. :biggrin:

This also puts a fitting end to the controversy caused by Favre's on-again-off-again retirement antics. :\

:thumbsup: A great day for Packer "cheese heads" everywhere!!! :thumbsup:

Bah...I hate my Comcrap DVR. Fucking thing shut off recording right at the 2 minute warning in the 4th quarter...and I was about 5 minutes behind live...missed the final 2 minutes. :(

Grats to the Packers. Great game.

WOOT!

I predict a period of Packers domination for 5-10 years ahead. Rodgers is only 27, Thompson knows how to evaluate talent and reload, and I don't think this team will blow opportunities like Favre's Packers did.

Favre LOST so many playoff games with INTs, I just don't see Rodgers doing that.

Hey! I forgot to chime in the Superbowl thread! I tried to hang around the ESPN stuff downtown Ft. Worth but it was too crowded so I left. And now I predict Green Bay wins.

Nice start for GB. I knew this was their game.

Uh oh Steeler comeback.

Hey GB won - just as I predicted!

Agreed, worst commercials of any Superbowl. Always a couple good ones at least but overall terrible.

Hit someone in the nuts X 100

Never thought the black eyed peas had any talent. I thought Aguilera would do a better job.

Did Chrysler and Eminem really try to do a commercial telling us that Detroit isnt the shit hole that we see from the news, pictures, and Eminem's own movie?

I will have fun at work tomorrow with a retard Steelers fan who laughed at the Colts losing vs. the Saints. :D Thank you, Green Bay, for being a sixth-seeded team and beating the Steelers! I just wish I had an Aaron Rodgers jersey to wear tomorrow.

We've got several obnoxious Steeler fans at work, I'm actually looking forward to going in today!, Props to the Pack, IMO their "D" line played great, Ben never looked very comfortable and they won despite losing two of their starters, hell if the Pack's receivers didn't have so many drops the game might have been a lopsided one but Rogers can sure put some heat on a ball, might have something to do with it..

The Packers have driven me crazy the entire season. Everytime I think they're going to win big they let their lead dwindle and keep me watching every minute of the game. I'm just happy the ended the season with 6 consecutive wins and the Lombardi Trophy! GO PACK GO!

I have just one thing to say about this Super Bowl: SUCK IT STEELERS FAnS!!! :p

I concur -- but only to the obnoxious ones like the guy at work! :D

Set to the tune of the Love Boat theme song:

"Fail -- exciting and new! Steelers, we've been expecting you!"

Meh, too lazy to write the rest.

This is our trophy.

There are many championships won with it, but this one is Titletown's.

It is our life. Our football team must master it as I master my passion for this team. Without the Lombardi trophy, my team is useless. I must keep my love for the Green bay Packers true. I must love this team more than my enemy hates my team. I must beat him before he beats me. I will....

My team and myself know what counts in football is not the history of the Green Bay Packers, the noise our fans make, or the sellout crowds. We know that it is the wins that count. We will win...

Green Bay Packer football is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus I will treat it as a brother. I will learn our players weaknesses, our strengths, our parts, our special teams, our field and stadium. I will ever guard the Lombardi trophy against the ravages of time and damage to its reputation as I will ever guard my running backs, wide receivers, full backs and quarterbacks against damage. I will keep the Lombardi trophy safe and pure. We will become part of each other. We will...

Before Vince Lombardi, I swear this creed. My team and myself are the Super Bowl Champions. We are masters of our enemies. We are the saviors of Lombardi. So be it...

Congrats Green Bay. If there's a team we lost to I couldn't think of one I would rather lose to than GB. Good organization all around.

Man that was an ugly game on the Steelers part. 21 points off 3 turnovers pretty much sums it up. I put one of them on Big Ben, one on Mendenhall, and one on Bruce Arians.

I really hope they fire him after this year. His playcalling is laughable at best.

This sucks. I'm hungover at work and just found out we have a meeting to discuss layoffs.

Grats to the Packers. Great game.

You didn't miss much. Just a string of terrible play calling and horrible clock management.

I love these responses to big loses. It wasn't the Packers that WON the game, it was the Steelers that LOST it. I do this myself. I assure you, the Packers WON that game last night.

I still gotta go back and see if she messed up the lyrics.
Meh. Halftime was fine if you're into that kinda thing. BEP aren't about singing talent, they are about the show (again if you're into that kinda thing)
I enjoyed several of the commercials.

All that matters is that the GAME was good... and it was GREAT. Regardless if the Packers won or lost, that was a SUPER entertaining Super Bowl.
