Stupor Bowl Weekend

I'm not a huge fan of Professional Football and won't be until the teams pay for building their own stadiums instead of us taxpayers. If they can afford pay salaries in the millions for players that work on a few hours a year, they certainly can afford to build their own places of business.

That said, this week's game is the big one though, and anyone with a pulse in the United States has to know Super Bowl Sunday will soon be here.

crazy pittsburgh steeler fans waving yellow towels

Supported by fans waving yellow and black "Terrible Towels" thought to bring them good luck, the Pittsburgh Steelers are returning to the "big game" yet again. The Phoenix Cardinals will be appearing for the first time ever.

Perhaps they will make a new Super Bowl edition of the Terrible Towel. I hope so, sort of, kind of... :)

I'll be watching the cheering ladies and thinking about Lainie and George myself and being silently wishing them the best of luck on their new life together!

Yes, this is definitely the best part of pro football...

I'm with you on the stadium thing! If they can afford such large salaries, surely they can spare a bit of money to build a stadium! Same goes for players of some other sports mind you.

I love pro football...however I am not a big Steelers fan or a Cards fan..so I don't care who wins LOL
I'm happy as long as Dallas ain't in it cause I despise them (yeah I know I live in Texas, but that don't mean I gotta like the Cowboys)

I kinda like the Steelers. :)

Best wishes to Lainie & George!

Gives Karla the stink eye!

Technically the Cards haven't appeared in a Super Bowl, but they did win the NFL Championship back in 1947, back before the merger between the NFL and AFL.

I will be rooting for the Steelers, and I know I have a Steelers sweatshirt here somewhere. I just have to find it. It must be buried underneath something, and I just can't see it.

Will be toasting Lainie and George tomorrow too! What time are the nuptials?

If your team's not playing...it's all about the foot and the beer and the cheerleaders..

American football is a bit of a sissy's game with all that padding and crash helmets...... real men play rugby and the only padding they have is a nut box LOL

And here I thought it was the commercials that were the best part (about the Superbowl anyway).

Thanks Iggy and everyone else for taking time out of your SuperBowl weekend to send happy wishes our way. George and I tied the knot at approximately 4PM (pics to follow) and everything went according to plan. Hugs!!
