Super Bowl XLV
Super Bowl XLV is set. It's NFC Champion Green Bay versus AFC Champion Pittsburgh. The Packers have a chance to win the 4th Super Bowl title in 5 trips to the big game, while the Steelers can win an unprecedented 7th championship in 8 tries.Dallas (5-3) is the only other NFL franchise that has been to 8 Super Bowls. San Francisco (5-0) is the only franchise that has been to multiple championship games and never lost.
The game will be played on 6 February 2011.
I don't have a favorite here. In fact, I have disliked Green Bay since I learned about football and as a Raider fan, I have a traditional dislike of Pittsburgh.
I like Aaron Rodgers, QB for the Packers. I kind of like Hines Ward, WR for the Steelers.
But I'm essentially indifferent to the result of the game. The best I can say is that in two weeks, football season will be over and I can focus specifically and intently on college basketball.
Good luck to fans of both teams.
