Tell them that the refs handed the Steelers the Super Bowl.

I think it was unfair for the Raiders to score more points than the Steelers. I think I better shut up, if some Dem sees this it'll start them thinking.

Raider Joke:\nTheres a rapist, a serial killer, and a raider in a room. You have a gun with two bullets in it, who would you shoot (you have to shoot someone)? \nI thought the answer was shoot all three, and you'd still have a bullet. I thought the Raider covered all three. \nAnyway they don't have that great of a Defense. They let the Steelers get 300+ yards on them. Let the Seahawks get almost 400 yards on them. A great D doesn't let teams get that many yards on them.

If they're not worried they're in denial!! Shockey made some comments about the Giants being the best team in the NFC and how the first game against Dallas showed it. !? Please, Dallas was a different team back then and the way they're playing right now, every team that plays 'em should be worried.

hahah Well I know I'm not going to get the big 10 points for this, but I am completely rooting for the Seahawks. 30 years since their last big SB win? I think they are more than due!

Okay, I'm not a Bronco fan but I'll offer my two cents worth anyways. They NEED to make the switch, the team doesnt believe in Jake and he has been a miserable failure in the playoffs. To all those who say it is throwing away the season...is it? Havent you seen how poorly Jake performs on the big stage (i.e. the playoffs)? And dont worry about the old crap that they cant win with a rookie. Does the name Big Ben ring a bell? They dont need a QB to win the games they need one who wont LOSE it for them, kinda like Ben did with the Steelers. Remember all the naysayers when the Patriots went to Brady, I guess that worked out okay! Bring on Cutler!

Regardless of the NE-Denver outcome, neither team would have beat Pittsburgh yesterday, consider the way the Steelers are playing right now. Talk about momentum! As for the NFC, the best team won there as well -- Tampa, NY Giants, Washington and Chicago were all pretenders and Carolina could only take injuries at RB for so long. I am excited to see Seattle-Pittsburgh in Superbowl XL, should be good.

Looks like the Super Bowl Champs...\n\nSunday, February 26, 2006\n\nBy Teresa F. Lindeman\n\nDriven by the win in S.u.p.e.r B.o.w.l X.L, Pittsburgh Steelers merchandise is selling at a record pace. \n\nA sporting goods research firm calculated sales of Steelers merchandise so far this year have reached $154 million, more than five times the size of the $30 million total for the same period last year. The team alone has accounted for more than 40 percent of total NFL merchandise sales this year, according to SportsScanInfo, a sporting goods research firm in West Palm Beach, Fla. \n\n"The Steelers [win] is probably going to be the number one S.u.p.e.r B.o.w.l championship event in NFL history," said Ralph Galera, director of custom product finishing for Florida-based clothing maker VF Corp., which rushed licensed locker room T-shirts and sweatshirts to stores within hours of the game. \n\nNFLShop.com reports that 84,706 Steelers S.u.p.e.r B.o.w.l X.L championship items had been sold through last Monday. \n\nSome of that merchandise will be on display this week when vendors licensed to sell everything from Patriots mugs and Bengals toys to Raiders comforters and Terrible Towels turn part of the club level of Heinz Field into a collection of booths displaying all the football-stamped items -- excluding apparel -- that a merchant with an NFL license can dream up. \n\nBeginning Monday, representatives from the league's 32 teams will come to look over the offerings for the next season, as well as to observe the Steelers' own efforts to sell more stuff. \n\nThe NFL chose Pittsburgh as the site for its fourth-annual gathering last summer. \n\n"Not all of our clubs have made as large a commitment to the merchandising as the Packers and Steelers," said Leo Kane, the NFL's senior director of licensing and consumer products. Both teams consistently are among the league's leaders in sales of licensed goods and operate their own stores packed with goods. \n\nMr. Kane singled out the Green Bay Packers because they were hosts to the very first of these NFL trade shows back in 2003. Before then, the licensed goods offerings showed up as part of other trade shows. \n\nThe league decided to do its own show so it could time the event between seasons and so that strong merchandising teams could share their best practices. It's kind of like Ben Roethlisberger getting tips from Dan Marino, concentrating on the techniques and hoping for a little of the magic. \n\nThat first summit focused on the teams and the vendors but retailers have gained importance in the subsequent years. Invitations were sent to J.C. Penney, Dick's Sporting Goods, the Finish Line, Eastbay, Hat World, Giant Eagle, Party City, HSN (Home Shopping Network) and TJMaxx, among others. The Steelers also asked some local retailers to come, including Honus Wagner and Steel City Hobbies. \n\nIf any team has the right formula for opening wallets just now, it is the Steelers. SportsScanInfo credited a 35 percent increase in NFL sales activity so far this year mainly to the "blitz" buying of Steelers fans. \n\nThe single biggest category increase has been in licensed NFL T-shirts, up more than 500 percent in dollar volume as consumers eager to wear their pride buy, buy, buy. Clothing maker VF Corp. does not release sales numbers but Mr. Galera said the company sold enough clothing items to attire all of the 1.3 million or people who live in Allegheny County -- and more. \n\nIt takes a bit longer to produce other types of S.u.p.e.r B.o.w.l merchandise, such as mugs and footballs, so sales of those items could start picking up as the year continues. \n\n"Kudos to the fans," said Neil D. Schwartz, SpotsScanInto's director of marketing and business development and an industry observer who estimated the Steelers' 42 percent share of overall NFL merchandise sold so far may be twice the typical experience of S.u.p.e.r B.o.w.l c

Seahawks have the heart to win. You never know how the seahawks offensive line will handle the steelers 3-4 defense. 1)PROTECT MATT!! 2)attack their secondary and throw downfield, but to do this refer to #1!\n\nSeahawks can do it, plus I'm biased because I live in Seattle so of course they are my team! All seattle teams I LOVE! Except the storm, never was interested in WNBA.

I don't really have a team but I really like watching it. If I had to choose a team right now it will be the Carolina Panthers. I was going for now for the Super Bowl but the lost to Seahawks because they could not run the ball, 4 guys were on Steve Smith, and Jake was making bad decisions. Next year it going to be tough for the defense but they have Keyshawn Johnson now and have a second big target. Go Panthers!

i like the 49ers. and no, we arent going to the playoffs any time soon.  frank gore our running back is turning into a great player.  alex smith is doing better than he was last year.  i think we are in the right direction. give it a few more years before we are playoff contenders.  and oh yeah, we are moving out of san francisco so we can build a new stadium...we'll still be the san fran 49ers but we're moving south like 30 miles.

Super Bowl hangover, it happens to nearly all Super Bowl winners. Key free agent losses and the retirement of "The Bus" cost them a lot of the leadership they enjoyed last season. Injuries havent helped and the soap opera that was Big Ben over the summer certainly didnt help. They need to regroup and re- dedicate themselves to the goals they had last year and they will be fine. There is still plenty of talent wearing Steeler black.

To mementomaniac. above, Steelers will dominate the Seagulls.  The Pitt run offense is not predicated on Jerome Bettis.  He is a very shortdage back.  Used only in 3rd yard or less situtation.  On the other side, do you really think Seattle has the offense, outside of Shaun Alexander, to combat Pitt's relentless defense.  Remember you, Pitt was one of the best in the NFL against the run.

the seahawks did not have and easy season. in the nfl there is no such thing as an easy season. just ask the world champion patriots team from last year, they lost to the shit hole team from miami, and so did denver at the very begining of this year. therasonseatle gets o repect is because e is no other team close to seattle. the next closest team is in cali. on top of that seattle doesnt have and amazing briliant media stars. seattle just has guys that want to play fotballl

It was a great game. I'm a long time Steelers fan and I darn near suffered a heart attack at the end. Great game, but I don't understand why we stoped blitzing in the middle of the game. You can let Peyton Manning off the mat. \n\nGo Steelers!
