The headmaster at my daughter's school has a picture of Ray Nitschke on his office wall.  I asked if he was a Packers fan and he said "No, I played against him in high school."

"Wow," I said, "what a memory to look back on."

His response: "Yes, it's much more fun to remember than it was to live through."

Exactly what I was going to say. I live in western pa and hate the Steelers. Im surrounded by Steeler fans 24/7. I would love nothing more than a Packer beat down led by one of my favorite Wolverines of all time. Itd be awesome for Charles to be able to add a super bowl ring to his long list of nfl accomplishments.

Dude it sucks. The worst part is the Steeler fans HATE them when they are bad. Last year they wanted the coaching staff fired and how Big Ben sucks and all this other shit. It irritates me so much. I had to delete my facebook account because of all the nonsense Steeler fans were writing. It's crazy. At least my friends who are Browns fans like them every year. Hell, Im a Chargers fan and they have more talent than anyone and they havent been to a Super Bowl in like 15 years. I like them just as much as I did back then. Shit pisses me off. Sorry for the rant.

Many of the people you're talking about will bet a lot of money in response to any offer to wager.  Cultivate this.  Monday morning, the first thing you tell everyone is that Green Bay will be favored ("by at least 3").  Be smug about it.  Say you're just about the biggest Aaron Rogers fan going: you wish to God he'd gone to Michigan.

That will get them really talking.

Then, when the lines come out, and you were right, you'll have all kinds of conversations.

You'll have to be careful: there are three OSU grads on Green Bay's defense, including AJ Hawk (ee).  The OSU Truebluds might just agree with you.  But, play it right, and you could make a lot of money (i.e., get them to give you GB + 7.  They'll do it.)

But, will they pay up?

Five forced fumbles and 76 unassisted tackles in 2010.  CDub's still a major force.

Packers all the way.  No hate for the Steelers.  I'm in KC now, but lived many years in the Detroit area.  Always felt like Pitt was a lot like Detroit (maybe not so much anymore).

But, of course I want to see the greatest defensive college player ever (see: Heisman) win a Lombardi trophy.

Then GB will get fat&happy and let the Lions squeak by them.

(On another OT note: figures the Lions are more ready than anytime in 12 years; and there won't be any games to play.)

but the man is 34 years old. I say he has about 4 more years at most, and I contrast that with Woodley who will have plenty of more chances because he is only 26.

Therefore, I'd like to see Woodson win one while the chance is this good and may not come again.

Woodson all the way.  Love Woodley, but Woodson probably should have played in the SB with the Raiders (I know, Tuck Rule with Brady - too many great UM players in the pros, somebody has to lose) and it would be a better story, IME, if the Pack won instead of the Steelers again.

Shook his hand at a Saginaw County track meet once. Yeah, I know it's lame, but I'll never forget it.  He was my favorite player that year and still is one of my favorite players.

Lamar has a ring already. If Charles wins this superbowl, he will have gone through his career as

- Mr Ohio High School Football

- NCAA All American, Nagurski, Thorpe, Camp

- Heisman Trophy (only D player ever)

- Multiple Pro bowls and All-Pros

- NFL Defensive MVP

- Superbowl

A superbowl win would absolutely cement his legacy as one of the best football players ever, period. Not to mention he's got a big heart and gives back to those in need. He is the man and I'll be cheering for him to take it home.

On a side note, can anyone think of a player who has won a national title, heisman trophy, and a superbowl ring?
