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

We'll have our day.

All we can hope for is an exciting, bang-bang shootout.

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.

Hell no. My level of hatred for the Pats has never and will never be reached for any other team. I hate the Pats 364 days a year (I take a day off to reflect on my hatred). I still don't like the Steelers.

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.
