Super Bowl Pre-Game Thread

PrintSigh....the Apocalypse Super Bowl Sunday is upon us, and we must, if we want to watch the game, wade through the hours...and hours...and hours of how Aaron Rodgers is the greatest ever, Ben Roethlisberger is a rehabilitated hero, and stew in the fact that Cris Carter and Chris Doleman got snubbed for the Hall of Fame while lesser players got selected.
Boys and girls, for us here in Vikings Land, there will be no winners at the end of this day, only survivors.
Use this pre-game thread to discuss how you will make it through the day. Me, I will be in an undisclosed location with DVD's of The Greatest Games in Vikings history, to include the 2004 curb-stomping they gave the Packers in Green Bay during the playoffs, and some great Ohio State games of the past, to include this most recent Sugar Bowl. Eh, actually I'll be out in the driveway, trying to break up that layer of sleet that rolled through here earlier in the week. If I'm lucky, I'll slip and fall, hit my head, and have no memory of the 2010 football season.
And if you are going to sit through the game, and you wish to comment here, God Blesss You, are a better person than I am. We'll have a game thread up about 5 or so. I don't know that I can bring myself to watch. There's a 'Destroyed in Seconds' marathon on Discovery Channel, which somehow seems appropriate for today.
Sigh...
SKOL today, SKOL tomorrow, SKOL forever.
SKOL Vikings!!

I'll be watching golf until it gets dark in Phoenix,
then I’ll find some reruns of something to watch until about 9:00. But I am recording the game so at some point I can check out the commercials.
Stew
I plan to stew about how the NFL and sports writers screwed Chris Carter…..again!
I'll watch for the sheer enjoyment of the commercials
Really don’t care who wins
"Skol Vikings! Let's win this game Skol Vikings!
All this Erin Rodgers talk, (from the press)
has me thinking that the Steelers have never been here before. Almost like Rodgers has been dominating the PO’s for years, while Roethlesbuger and the Steelers are here for the first time this decade.
I’ll be the 1st to admit that Rodgers is a great QB, but the way the press is stroking his c#ck, one would think that he’s playing his 3rd SB in 5yrs.
Well, he’s getting a lot of that attention because of the attention that Favre has been getting. Every analyst seems to feel the need to address whether or not a SB win will finally get him out from under the shadow of Brett Favre.
And part is probably just cause he’s a Qb. Drew Brees got all the same attention last season too.

Yeah...
That Saints coverage last year was probably the worst I’ve seen. The day isn’t over yet though.
I don't think Aaron Rodgers' quick release
is limited to the football field.

I'm not a better person than you....
I’m probably just a little more drunk than you are. And I will gladly join in on some Packer bashing throughout this sad, disgusting, depressing, and vomit-inducing day.
I will start by saying: They should make February 6th “Aaron Rodgers Humping Day.” I’ve never seen so many ANALysts go so man-crushingly crazy about the man until today.

Who can I root for?
If Chicago had won and were playing today!!! No problem. I would go with them and hope. This sb no matter who wins is as exciting to me as watching pain dry.
Remember you guys.....
This is THE Superbowl of all time. Both these teams have EXTENSIVE experience in the Super Bowl, so, you know, it’s just gonna be so great.
That’s the crap I’ve been hearing for two weeks and I’m ready for it to be over.
man, you guys are pathetic
you mean with this whole Rodgers lovefest going on you can’t muster up some enthusiasm to see him get beat up by the Steelers D???? Go Steelers!!!!! The enemy of my enemy is my friend!!!! (I’ll probably watch with the sound off tho since I’m planning on eating during the game). I just hope the NFL isn’t so in love with the Packers the refs throw the game.
Oh yeah...don't get me wrong...
I can’t wait ‘til the first Steeler drops him into the turf. It’s just noteworthy that AR is really not THAT noteworthy.
hoping that Harrison...
is fined a Billion dollars for his hits on #12 tonite.
I BELIEVE...

I am freaking sick & tired of hearing Packers are like the second coming or whatever nonsense
Also, I just received a txt telling me apparently GB will be winner of next years super bowl also, it’s been already decided…… Jeebus this fawning makes me want to throw my TV, computer, phone out the damn window……. I HATE THE PACKERS…. I am rocking the purple today & despite my uneasiness towards Big Ben, I will be cheering for the Steelers……Go kick some puke green ass today guys!!!!!!

Next year?
Naw….there really IS such a thing as the Superbowl hangover…..see: 2010 Saints champions vs. Seahawks.
Be Honest
How many of DNrs will be pulling (cheering is too strong of word) for the Packers today? Anyone?
"Skol Vikings! Let's win this game Skol Vikings!
If the survival of the United States depended on Green Bay winning
I honest to God would have to think about it.

See, you think I give a shit. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I’m thinking; How can I give less of shit? That’s why I look interested."
It would all depend on the alternative
If we were all going to die, I might have to pull fro Green Bay. If we were going to live, just in a different country, go Steelers.
The Colorado Rockies aren't a team, they're an armada.
Favre knows what to say on camera.
It’s not like he’s gonna throw on a Roethlessburger Jersey or anything, but I highly doubt that he’s happy about the Packers being absolutely thrilled with their new QB….IMO
Why would he?
He was the face of that franchise for years. They traded him away, and the fans have treated him like crap ever since.

I'll be watching just because it's football but I want the pack and little ben to lose
My wife made an awesome green chile cheeseball and shaped it the shape of a football. If history serves correct the refs will give the steelers a game winning call and we’ll have to hear it for the end of time from pack fans.
SKOL VIKINGS!
All people are created equal?
Not exactly…..I don’t think people were expected to in-breed with each other….cough cough….Packer fans….cough cough.

PURPLE tie. ’nuff said.

Pack-alypse Now
I was in Wisconsin for about fiteen minutes this morning. I was ice-fishing back in Winona, and ran across the river to Wisconsin to stock up on New Glarus, one of the things the ’sconnies do well. (Cheese abd sausage, of course, being the others.)
In both Bluff Siding, Wisconsin and Winona, there was green and gold everywhere I looked. Blech.
So, here’s what I’m going to do: I’m wearing my “Packers Sucks” t-shirt, and will be drinking New Glarus in the hopes that drinking a Wisconsin beer will somehow have a jinx effect on the Packers.
go steelers
