Great to see Denver get their ass handed to them
At halftime, it’s going well for PIT, just as I thought, becuase Denver sucks without bullshit calls made in their favor. Incomplete this Denver fans.
At least I’m still not bitter over last week.
So there’s that.
In other news, anyone ever see/heard of this magazine? Instead of sportsgamer.blogspot.com, I went to sportsgamer.com and this showed up.

Seattle vs. Pittsburgh in the Who Cares? Bowl. Free pillows for the first 20,000 fans.

Go Steelers!!
Great Super Bowl in my opinion. That stadium will be filled with Steeler fans since it’s a 5 hour drive and Steelers travel very well. Any other teams and I wouldn’t watch. Can’t stand Peyton. Tired of New England. Broncos are overrrated. Bengals were overrated. Didn’t pay much attention to the NFC although I’m glad it’s not the Giants. Carolina and Seattle don’t bother me.

Only people with rooting interests will be watching. The rest of the country is a “who cares?”
No storylines (and don’t try the “Bettis goes home to Detroit!” or “Cowher vs. Holmgren”. No one cares.)
The style of play in the game, and the fact it’ll probably be a blowout on one side, you’ll see some low TV ratings.

“Only people with rooting interests will be watching.”
That is ridiculous. This isn’t baseball, hockey, or the NBA. People will watch the Super Bowl regardless of the teams. Even if ratings for this game end up “low” compared to other SBs it will still be a very, very high rating. The Super Bowl doesn’t need a story line …it IS the story line.
Only people with a rooting interest will watch the Super Bowl? That’s bat shit crazy Jonah.

Sounds like a big market, short-sighted comment….
Even games like the Panthers-Patriots in Super Bowl 38, which I would assume you would characterize as a “who cares”, drew nearly a 42 share….
The Super Bowl is the biggest game of the year…all comes down to one game. The game is almost secondary to some people that get caught up in Super Bowl parties, the commercials, etc…
Plus, i respectfully disagree with the blowout statement…as does Vegas (Pitt -4)

Bin Laden didn’t do it.

Like Bill stated, just because someone doesn’t like the matchup or teams involved doesn’t mean it won’t draw.
I strongly disagree that Bettis going to a Super Bowl in his last year in his hometown isn’t a draw. The ONLY reason the man came back was for this chance. Not to mention he’s one of, if not the, classiest guy in the NFL.
I also disagree that it will be a blowout. No way…. Both teams are too good and have too good of D’s to allow that to happen.
Panthers vs Patriots is a GREAT example. Seriously, who wanted to watch that? Yet it drew because it’s the Super Bowl - The biggest game of them all.
I think the hatorade is flowing a little too thick for some…

Well, everyone in New England wanted to watch it. And Boston is a big TV market, but I understand the point you are making.
OTOH, PIT is much better than DEN!
Denver can suck it!

True, Dan……but I wanted an example of 2 teams that have mostly “regional” fans, not lie teams like the Packers, Cowboys, etc…that have fans across the country.
