1. the steelers were one bad call and a lucky bounce away from losing that game..to a charger team that looked like absolute crap. i think the ravens are going to mop up.

2. The Steeler-Ravens game should be fantastic.

Both are very hard nosed talented teams.

5. and the Ravens were one blown call away from losing.

They were outplayed for most of that game by the Titans who kept shooting themselves in the foot.

Steelers are a bit stingier with the turnovers. I think they get this one.

after which image of a football field; the cboy4 primitive's apparently a St. Louis Cardinals fan, or something

4. My money would be on Ravens-Eagles.

I see the Ravens really getting after Roethlisberger, and creating a couple of turnovers, and the Eagles doing basically the same thing to Kurt Warner.

9. Cards-Steelers.

Cards win it.

I dunno; maybe it's just me, but I can't get excited about athletes sporting for money.

I watched a Super Bowl once; Terry Bradshaw was the quarterback for some team, but that's all the mind retained.  It's been a very long time now.

Umm . . . Coach, Terry Bradshaw was the QB of the Steelers in their "Steel Curtain" days, when they won four Super Bowls.

I've been a Steelers' fan from about those days.  My brother has been a Cowboys' fan from those days.  'Course, my mother is also a Cowboys' fan.  I'd love to see the Steelers win the next two games.

Well, it's painfully obvious my knowledge of professional football is zilch.

For some reason, I still match "Baltimore" and "Colts."

It's really stupid for Indianapolis--Indianapolis! for God's sake!--to have a professional football team.

I had a prof at SLU who, if one mentioned the name of "Robert Irsay," who was the owner of the Colts (responsible for the move), would turn rather evil.  I swear that her head would rotate 360 degrees on her neck when anyone did that.  I decided that it probably wasn't a good idea to do this, and only observed others doing it.

I just can't imagine why the Hell Indianapolis--or Phoenix or Tampa Bay or that one place down in North Carolina--would have a professional football team.

I suspect that's one of the reasons I'm not enamoured of professional sports; there's no history, no continuity, no tradition to them.  They just up and move around to some place that's cool, hip, trendy, with-it.

This was before my time, but I'm still pissed off that the Dodgers left Brooklyn for Lost Angeles, and the Giants left New York for San Francisco.  That was so wrong, so very wrong, and a slap on the face of all that is good and decent.

I sat next to Terry Bradshaw the other day on a flight from DFW to LAX -- he was coming in to do the Sunday show.  We chatted enough (not about football -- it was clear he didn't want to talk about that) that I now call him my bestest buddy and he does a silent shout out message with a hand signal to me every show.

It is too bad he said that Fox won't let him give out his phone number or Oklahoma address or what hotel he stays at in L.A.  And I am still laughing at that joke he made about "a restraining order if he ever sees me again."

Clearly you are not from Baltimore, Oakland nor Cleveland.  Now here in L.A., when the teams leave or come -- *YAWN*  You MIGHT get a little peevishness should the Dodgers or Lakers relocate (unless the latter was losing consistently) but that would be it.

[BlueStateSaint]

It'$ all about the almighty dollar$.  New market$ for $aid $port$ to penetrate.

Same for the Dodgers and the Giants.  But, if they didn't leave, the Mets never would have existed.

Yeah.

The "Lost Angeles Rams," to me, carried much more interest than the "Anaheim Rams."

Or whatever football team that was, that went to--for God's sake!--Anaheim.

At least the Anaheim Angels of Los Angeles from Anaheim Next to Buena Park South of Cucamonga won one of that interminable marathons called the World Series.

Green Bay is the home of football and the season ended with them.

Vikings, Bears, and Lions have a pretty rich history too.  Just not as rich as Green Bay.
