why not dog
u sleepin
My gut tells me it's Packers/Steelers but I'm rooting hard for the Bears. Either way there will be two storied franchises playing for the Super Bowl. Two major markets plus two more franchises with big followings must have the networks happy.
green bay is the smallest television market of any nfl city. pittsburgh isn't big either.
although, steelers vs. green bay would be a highest rated game of all the options.

I love sports too, but lets face it, you are a bit of a front runner.....especially with the HEat thing seeing as how they were arch rivals of the Knicks.
Now i understand you can respect certain teams, how they play. I have that type of respect for current teams like the Steelers and Celtics, or for guys like Joe Paterno, but I don't outwardly root for them like they are my own.
Doesn't matter how bad it gets for Cleveland sports, i could never not root for my teams or jump ship and become a fan of a rival (like you did with the Heat).
But i never admitted to really agreeing with your opinion on most sports so its no wonder we disagree here.

it doesnt matter who is in the super bowl, its going to get huge ratings.
Thats the best part about the NFL is that it is the most level playing field in sports today, and the players till have to actually earn their paychecks because nothing is really guaranteed.
And the owners and franchises are in control, which is better because once the players get too much power, the game suffers.
Just look at whats happening in the NBA and MLB.
I know workers everywhere will always fight for representation and a better wage, but I'll never feel sorry for any athletes these days, with the amount they make.
For me? Green Bay vs. Pitt would be a great matchup, but any combination would be decent.
I dont particularly think the Bears are that great though. I think they get stomped again.
Jets fan killed sleigh-riding while celebrating Gang Green's playoff win died wearing Sanchez jersey
BY JOE JACKSON AND JOHN LAUINGER
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS
A Jets fan who was run over by a car while sleigh-riding in celebration of Gang Green's huge playoff win Sunday died wearing a Mark Sanchez jersey, a neighbor said.
"I'm shocked," Steve Mulak said of the freak accident that claimed the life of 46-year-old Staten Islander Ray Larsen.
"It's a real tragedy. He was a great man - a Jets season-ticket holder."
After the Jets beat the New England Patriots to advance to the AFC title game, Larsen rode a "flying saucer" down his steep, unplowed driveway on Cleveland Ave. in Eltingville.
The father of two - who had been drinking at a restaurant during the game - slammed into a passing Hyundai SUV as he rocketed across the street, police said.
One of the tires ran over his head, causing massive injuries. He died at a local hospital, police said.
The driver, Josephine Scotto, 61, of nearby Great Kills, was not charged with a crime, police said.
As Larsen's family grieved privately inside their home yesterday, Mulak, 63, used a shovel to rid the block of a horrible reminder of the tragedy - a blood-stained snowbank.
Neighbors described Larsen as an avid sailor who would always decorate his home for Halloween and Christmas.
"He was a very nice guy," said Joseph Fitzpatrick, 47. "He was the kind of person who really loved life. He was always celebrating life, and in that he tragically met death."

--Homeless man is the king of fantasy football
Three million people competed at fantasy football on ESPN.com this year. One man managed to rise above all of them, and he did it despite not having a computer. Or a place to live.
For the sake of comparison, I finished under .500 in a league of 12 people, and I spend all day with my face buried in NFL news, stats and highlights.
Obviously, Nathan Harrington, 33, of Salem, Mass., knows something I don't. Harrington ended up homeless after needing back surgery, going on medical leave from his job, and being forced to leave his home because it was condemned.
And still, he was better than over 3 million people at fantasy football.
He used computers at his father's nursing home, his mother's house, and the library. He knocked on neighbors' doors and asked if he could use their computers.
If you're wondering about specifics, Harrington drafted Arian Foster(notes) and picked up Brandon Lloyd as a free agent. He made trades for Adrian Peterson and Dwayne Bowe.
Oddly, Tony Romo was his quarterback, but when Romo went down with a season-ending injury, Harrington had to make due with a string of borderline fantasy quarterbacks. He clinched the top spot behind Tim Tebow's surprising Week 17 performance against the Chargers. From The Salem News:
"My fantasy football was the one thing that kind of seemed to be going right at the time," Harrington said. "There was a lot to be upset about, but the one thing that was steady and heading in a positive direction was the fantasy football. So I thought I might as well stick with it and ride it out. Thank God I did."
For his unbelievable performance, Harrington won a $3,500 Best Buy gift card, which he's selling to his mother for $2,500 cash.
