Super Bowl, February 1st, 2009: Cardinals or Steelers?
Hidden member	Jan 25, 2009 8:39 PM GMT The big game is on next weekend, a week from today. My team was eliminated early (St. Louis Rams), but I am having a hard time deciding who to cheer for in a week. I still have loyalty to the Kurt Warner days, but I despise Ken Whisenhunt. What about the rest of you? Who are you pulling for in the big game?

Hidden member	Jan 26, 2009 5:22 PM GMT CARDINALS!!!!
HighVoltageGu... Posts: 1957	Jan 26, 2009 5:25 PM GMT I don't follow football too much, and my first instinct is to go with the Steelers but I'd like to see the Cards take this one!
coolarmydude Posts: 3039	Jan 26, 2009 5:25 PM GMT The snooze button. This could be one of the biggest sleepers of the Super Bowl of all time.

irishkcguy Posts: 358	Jan 26, 2009 5:33 PM GMT First of all, thanks for posting a topic about sports on the gay athletes' site. I would prefer to talk about sports than to discuss the depth of artistic vision of the new Britney Spears album. If the Cards can protect Warner as well as they did for most of the game against Philly they have a chance. But the Cards play in a very weak division and Pittsburgh is an incredibly violent team. I will be happy for the Cards if they can pull off the upset, but I think Pittsburgh will win a low scoring and ugly game.
slimdad1 Posts: 8	Jan 26, 2009 5:33 PM GMT STEELERS! In a blow out. Another boring Super Bowl. Would have preferred Eli and the boys but maybe next year.
Hidden member	Jan 26, 2009 5:38 PM GMT I don't watch football, I find it boring. I don't watch the Superbowl, either. It's like only going to church on Christmas because that's what you're supposed to do.

Hidden member	Jan 26, 2009 5:44 PM GMT coolarmydude saidThe snooze button. This could be one of the biggest sleepers of the Super Bowl of all time. I heard that last year: UNION-TRIBUNE February 4, 2008 Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz. – ...What began as one of the more boring Super Bowls ended in a rush, in drama, with Giants quarterback Eli Manning leading his team back late for a 17-14 win over the Pats, who had gone 18-0 and were leaning hard on history... ------ HOW AWESOME THAT game turned out to be. No matter who wins... it's important. If Arizona wins, it will be their first ever since both conferences merged. If the Steelers win, it will be their 6th, and a new record. Currently 3 teams have 5 wins each... (49er's, Cowboys... and... the Steelers). But if either team runs away with the game, or it ends up being like a baseball score... I will find other things to distract me :-)
jerseyguy Posts: 99	Jan 26, 2009 5:48 PM GMT if james and fitzgerald can break come big plays and if warner gets some protection and has time to throw, the Cardinals might surprise. But I think the Steelers will win, mainly because of their defense. I just see them putting a ton of pressure on Warner throughout the game. I'm going to say Pittsburgh, 27-13.

Hidden member	Jan 26, 2009 5:51 PM GMT Defense wins championships. So my money is on the Steelers. However, I usually root for the underdog so I think it would be cool if the Cardinals win. Although the thought of Matt Leinart having a Super Bowl ring, even if he didn't get it by being the starter, really bugs me.

dhinkansas Posts: 477	Jan 26, 2009 6:57 PM GMT Wonder if the two week layoff will hurt the Cards? They had an amazing playoff run, but I'm wondering how the two week layoff will affect them. Pittsburgh hasn't been spectacular in their playoff run...playing ugly, but still winning...it's hard to pick against them with all the post season experience they have. I keep waiting for the Cardinal team that was blitzed 45-0 in New England.
Hidden member	Jan 26, 2009 7:01 PM GMT Im rooting/hoping for the Cardinals. Just so a bad team can win in a bad year for the NFL. -a disgruntled pats fan
irishkcguy Posts: 358	Jan 26, 2009 7:06 PM GMT I agree with mpm33 that it's been a bad year for the NFL. There needs to be some revamping of who makes the playoffs. When the Pats go 11-5 and don't make the playoffs and the Chargers go 8-8 and HOST a playoff game something is really wrong.
Hidden member	Jan 26, 2009 7:23 PM GMT I hope just to see a good, entertaining back and forth game. I don't have any real feelings for either team in either direction. That being said, my gut tells me that Pittsburgh defense destroys Kurt Warner and makes him re-contemplate retirement.

FreeThinker20... Posts: 942	Jan 26, 2009 8:16 PM GMT Cardinals!
dhinkansas Posts: 477	Jan 26, 2009 8:21 PM GMT Who would have believed a 37 year old Kurt Warner would resurrect AZ and take them to the Super Bowl. So much for Matt Leinart I guess. The Chargers were a mystery this year. I think the team has a ton of talent, but it took a last second comeback to beat KC to start the roll. I think for the most part, they underachieved this year...but I'd like to see them in the AFC title game with all starters healthy. Many years ago the LA Rams (or Lambs...depending on your perspective) made the Super Bowl after a 9-7 season and played PItt a decent Super Bowl game. So who knows what can happen.
jc_online Posts: 407	Jan 26, 2009 8:21 PM GMT I think the Steelers will win, but it won't be a runaway. Cards will give them a tough time - I hope! Steelers have the better D#, and that will win it for them. Go Browns! (maybe next year...gotta keep the spirit)

Hidden member	Jan 27, 2009 7:08 AM GMT I was reading an article on Yahoo.com and they were talking about how this Super Bowl is interesting in that its hard for most people to hate either team. I thought that was interesting, I think most people (outside of Baltimore, probably) don't have that much of a problem with Pittsburgh. As for Arizona, its impossible to hate them because they've never really been a challenge to anyone. Thoughts?
irishkcguy Posts: 358	Jan 27, 2009 7:28 AM GMT I read an article that said Pittsburgh will be cast as the villains in this game because of the Cinderella nature of the Cards.

I don't care about Steelers, because they had their latest Super Bowl victory on February 5, 2006. Arizona Cardinals have none and this is the first time in Arizona history that Cardinals got this far. GO CARDINALS...

I saw a guy wearing a shirt that read "Not just football..." on the front and was waiting to see what the back said. Finally he turned and it said "...Browns football!" That made me laugh. Not JUST football. It takes decades of work to be this mediocre!!! GO STEELERS!

Posts: 246	Jan 31, 2009 4:56 PM GMT I usually always cheer for the underdog either because they've never made the big game before, as in this case, or they haven't been in it in a very long time. Steelers are a great franchise with a great history but they already have numerous Superbowl wins. GO CARDINALS!

CuriousJockAZ Posts: 3656	Feb 01, 2009 10:58 PM GMT Sooooo praying for the Cardinals today. They have been underestimated all season, even into the playoffs, and even now. They are the underdog story of the NFL this year, and Kurt Warner is a class act. He deserves this one and I think he may just pull it off. Go Cards!!!
fastprof Posts: 1718	Feb 01, 2009 11:29 PM GMT I'm rooting for the Cardinals. It's remarkable how much poor "forecasting" the sports pundits made this year before the season. Then once they make the judgment that the West is weak, then it stands to reason when the teams in the conference knock each other off, and the winner of the conference has a mediocre record, in terms of wins and losses, the pundits think they were right. They are still sticking with their preseason notion that the West was weak, hence the Cardinals are underrated.

boilerup_82 Posts: 116	Feb 01, 2009 11:34 PM GMT GO CARDINALS! unfortunately, germans do not care about the nfl so I will be following it through yahoo sports...=( I'm rooting for them just because of Matt Leinart, he went to USC!!! fight on!
