Let's get the big game started!

First, let's see who is playing in this year's superbowl.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS -VS- ARIZONA CARDINALS

27- 23r

The Steelers are coached by Mike Tomlin. They entered the playoffs with a regular season record of 12 wins and 4 losses. They have won 5 Super Bowl titles and today are searching for their 6th, which would be an NFL record.

The Cardinals are coached by Ken Whisenhunt. They entered the playoffs with an average season record of 9 wins and 7 losses. They have never won a Super Bowl title.

Players to watch for:

Ben Roethlisberger- As the quarterback for the Steelers, Ben has impressed coaches and players across the league. He knows how to handle sticky situations and can lead his team to victory.

Larry Fitzgerald- Highly regarded as one of the best WR in the NFL, Fitzgerald has been a key player to keeping the Card's hopes alive in the playoffs. Give him the ball, and you're in trouble.

The Game

This years Super Bowl takes place in Tampa Bay, Florida at Raymond James Stadium.

The game starts at around 6:00 PM Eastern time, and Bruce Springsteen will be playing at the halftime show.

Post your predictions, stories, and thoughts! :)

I get to sit back and enjoy this one as a Football Fan. I'm a Giants fan so I have nothing to root for. I'll probably root for the Cardinals, but I wouldn't be upset if the Steelers won. I like Big Ben.

I hope the Cardinals win due to their history, but I expect the Steelers to emerge victorious. All and all, a boring match up.

Let's just sticky this one so we get this official thread business out of the way early.

Oh, and I only watch it for the commercials.

The commercials are usually one of the best parts. Hopefully this year has some good ones despite the economy and all.

Well my top team, the Giants are out. As well as my second team the Saints, who didn't even make the playoffs. My third team, the Colts, is out as well.

In today's matchup I'll be pulling for the Cardinals because I like them and there is nothing like seeing the underdog pull through. Hope it's a good game though it probably won't be since the Steelers are likely to thwamp the Cardinals but we shall see.

Go (insert team name here)! Seriously, with the exception of the AFC championship game, every team I've rooted for has lost, that includes my favorite team. So, I'm just going to hope for a good Super Bowl. :)

Mods I really think you should Make this the official thread, put it at the top so no more threads can be made.. I bet in about an hours more threads will start popping up... And besides it's very well made.. Good job TC.. And I think the Steelers will most likely win, just because They have one of the top defenses in the NFL that will force the cardinals to work harder to make scores, and the Steelers can easily run, and they can run in a few TD's and win the game..

I want the Cardinals to win, just because ever since I started watching the NFL they have been one of the worst teams in the whole league and it's funny that they're in the super bowl.

Football isn't my sport, but I have heard that the Cardinals have gotten there only from luck. Oh, and check out Paul Brogan's Superbowl rap (it is on Myspace, just as a heads up): http://www.myspace.com/paulbrogan

Sticky! Good luck to both teams! I won't pick a team because I've gone 1-10 in picks these playoffs. So, let's have a good game!
