This isn't political statement, security at the SB is already crazy. This would make it that much worse.
If he were a Bears fan he'd be at the game this Sunday you know in his home town? A Bears win in the Super Bowl is only a win. A Bears win against the Packer's in the NFC championship is stilll a win PLUS a Pack loss and a ticket home. Huge difference.

According to the database of Marc Lawrence of playbook.com, postseason home underdogs are 20-9 against the spread since 1980 and 9-2 when they have the better record.

I'm hoping for a Packers/Steelers Super Bowl with the Steelers to win their
7th. BUT, if they lose, I won't feel too terribly bad because my original team was the Packers.

If it comes down to da bears and da jets, I'll probably clean out a couple dresser drawers rather than watch the game.

Dresser drawers will just have to wait.

Watching Ryan rip off his head gear and throwing it on the ground gave me great joy - big mouth blow hard.

Even if he is a dirt bag and 1 step away from jail, Santonio Holmes, former Steeler, probably played the best.
