It just seems like a very unexciting matchup.

ex-Steelers coaches leading the cards against the Steelers? Steelers Defense against the cards offense? not interesting?:eek:

AeWingnut 01-18-2009 09:33 PM

I think the Cardinals best shot is to get an early lead and keep it.

:D

No I just feel like the Steelers are going to roll. As much as it pains me to say this, I think that Steelers Eagles would have been a much better match up. Obviously the Cards have proved that they are a good team, but I just get the feeling that Warner is going to be running for his life in 2 weeks and lay and egg.

I don't see Kurt Warner running all that much. He's not a scrambler.

The arm isn't what it once was but he can still make you pay

Thats cold Bob, I'm just hoping to spend a day at TB downs with Leo, Dan and Mike.

ateamstupid 01-19-2009 12:08 AM

Seems a tad high. I disagree that it's not an exciting matchup, and I'm glad I actually have a rooting interest in that I can't stand the Steelers.

First of all, this is a super bowl and ratings are immune to locality of the respective entrants. Secondly, even if it did make a difference, the pittsburgh fan base is hardly confined to western pa. They are indeed a "public team" with hardcore fans across the country. Thats why I always chuckle when i hear people talking about how well pittsburgh fans "travel". Sure, that may be true for games played on the eastern seaboard but do you really believe 15k steeler fans would travel to Oakland for a regular season game? Or is it simply more likely that they have a bunch of fans out west that will converge on oakland when they make it into town every couple of years?

Who cares?

I'm always amazed at the ratings talk for every big game or series. The only people that should care are the people selling ads for the networks and the networks themselves.

alot better than you thing. the cowboys are called "America's team" but the Steelers are a Mighty Close second if not first when it comes to fans around the world and tv ratings.

Darren..Scuds has this interesting opinion that only Southern California "matters" in anything..When the truth is most of the country just hopes it falls into the Pacific in our lifetime

Atleast I don't live in that freezer. I don't see any entries for Hawthorne or Balmoral anywhere. Could it be it ain't even fit for horses right now? I'm just saying this is a battle between the 13th biggest metro area, and the 22nd biggest metro area. If it wasn't for betting, then who would really care?

Amazing how you, Scavs, Steve etc. all seem to make it out here to tour(a place you wish would sink.)

I'm with you on Arizona, but I think the Warner and the cinderella angles will be beaten to death, and you know people love that stuff.


the same amount of people who watch the superbowl will watch it again this year. Doesnt really matter who is in. 75% of the people who watch it watch for the commercials and the party's. The hard core football fans are gonna watch it also... there not going to miss the biggest game of the season because they dont have a rooting interest.

Its not like the World Series or NBA finals with multiple games. EVERYONE watches the superbowl!

Exactly. There is no comparable annual event in the world.

As I wouldn't want to live in SOCAL if I had to...personal preference my friend.

And Phoenix by itself is the 5th largest city in the US...That doesn't seem like the sticks to me.

Yea, it's the 5th largest city, and the 13th largest metro area population. Since you took that door, Pittsburgh is the 59th biggest city in America(FKN BAKERSFIELD is 57th.) San Antonio is the 7th largest city in America. How could it be that they only have 1 major sports franchise? Maybe it's because they have the 28th largest metro population.
The best game of the year was the war between Baltimore and the Titans. Whoever won that had no shot to get back up in time to play the Steelers(who got to play the lay down Chargers.) If I hear it's close, I'll watch the 4th quarter of this one.

Um, no. I don't like any team that mysteriously has "fans" all over the country despite playing in a relatively insignificant city. Steeler fans who aren't from Pennsylvania are like Cowboy fans to me. It's almost as if they just started rooting for them because the Steelers were successful when they were young! That would be like me rooting for the Bulls. Plus Hines Ward is a douche and Roethlisberger is a moron.

LOL. This is a classic rant! I love it.

One thing about the Steelers though is that there was a time when many Pennsylvanians moved around the country as steel workers. That can explain part of the reason why there are so many steelers fans in places you wouldnt expect to find them.

In fairness, what if the steelers were good when you were young and you stayed a fan all the way through?

There are just a lot of pretty basic forms of life. You give them choices like Steel players, or Cowboy players.....They can't resist that.

Well, you're missing out on a chance to go to "The Kingdom Day Parade."
I'm guessing the brothers don't have a parade in January in Chicago. I could be wrong.

Nascar1966 01-19-2009 04:19 PM

Did you ever think that people who move form the Pittsburgh area dont quit rooting for Pittsburgh? I used to live just over an hour away from Pittsburgh and I still root for threm. I live just over an hour from Houston and I refuse to root for the pathetic Texans. Im wondering what thier excuse will be this year if they have another pathetic season.

Also please do not associate us Steeler fans with the Cowboy fans. Our team doesnt fold in the months of December and January.
