I’d be lying if I said I was anything but pumped. I cleared my afternoon schedule, let my family know if they needed me they could call me during halftime, and am happily sitting on the couch with my laptop to watch the entire pre-game morning and early afternoon. I’m mostly watching for Falcons - Eagles. For which I’m rooting for the Falcons. Just like my brother **jackelope**. GO FALCONS!!! And then I must admit I’m rooting for Steelers over Patriots. How about you all, anyone else enjoying a day of lounging and loud screaming? ---

I’m rooting for the Steelers. Go Steelers! 🙂 In the other game, I dunno. ---

Congratulations Eagles (and their fans.) The Eagles put paid to the second-guessers (myself included) who thought that resting their team the last few games was a mistake. I enjoyed the game, although I wasn’t sure who I wanted to see win. ---

Pain pain, lots of pain for this Falcon fan. Yes I must agree, Eagles definitely deserved to win but I wanted to see Mora and Vick take us to the big game. I will officially be rooting for the Eagles regardless of the results of Steelers vs. Pats. ---

I fear that last interception put an end to the game. :mad: Congratulations to the Patriots (and their fans.) 🙂 For the Superbowl I’ll be rooting for the Eagles, but I am predicting the Pats will win.
