Or they hate Brett Favre and want the most embarassing outcome possible for him, personally. Can I at least get credit for that? 
I’m also a South Side Cubs fan, so it’s probably best not to take cues from me as to how to behave as a Chicagoan. 
I will not put ketchup on my hot dog, though.
To add fuel to the fire, I changed my Facebook picture to me wearing a Packers jacket. Friends have already jokingly told me to look out for my car windows and tires. Cheering the Pack is definitely not the popular stance here (which, to be honest, adds to the fun.) I was literally kicked out of my neighbor’s house when I was 7 or 8 for getting a little too excited by a Green Bay touchdown (hey, I liked the green and yellow uniforms!) That taught me to keep any soft spot I have for the team on the down low, for the most part.
The Steelers, because they’re the only team in football with a logo on only one side of their helmet.
Also, their fans don’t wear fake food on their heads.

The Onion’s Super Bowl XLV Preview Guide. You know a team is wholesome when The Onion has a hard time making fun of it. My favorite quote:
Aaron Rodgers - FAVORITE PLAY: The one where you don’t hear a loud pop and then black out for 30 seconds
and…
Hines Ward - WELL-KNOWN FACT: He will definitely get his, and it ain’t gonna be pretty
NETA I see Hal Briston has scooped me…
And besides,
Dio’s purple kool-aid butthurt is precious!
No, for once Dio’s right – the Steelers all the way!!! We’re gonna crush their sorry asses right into dust!
(And for what it’s worth, I absolutely loathe Ben and wish he’d FOAD. TEAM TROY!!!)
Da Pack.

Both Green bay and Pittsburgh have a huge amount of old school tradition behind them. It really saddens me to hear you bitch about Green Bay bandwagon stuff. From my point of view it is really difficult to decide who has the most fair weather fans in this super bowl. I grew up in the 70s with Pittsburgh vs Dallas in an area without an obvious home team so Pittsburgh has always been a fair weather team to me. Dallas also but that hasn’t been relevant for a while.
The only reason Ben Roethlisberger wasn’t prosecuted for rape is because the victim decided not to cooperate at the last minute so the DA had to drop the case. If that’s the kind of thing you like to root for, root for the Steelers.
Who is the better team is the one thing I do not consider when choosing who to root for in the Super Bowl. There’s just no inherent excitement in watching the team that is supposed to win do what they are supposed to do.
I’m not saying it counts against them–I’m just saying I’d rather not know. If one team is clearly better than the other, then there’s nothing to watch.
How many times are you going to perpetuate that lie? You were already proven wrong in another thread, but here you go again. Might as well hijack another thread with your nonsense, right? You’ve only tried twice so far.
I’m glad to see this thread since I’m having the same problem. Don’t know who to root for yet. The other three people I’ll be watching the game with are all going for the packers, so I think it might be more fun to go for the Steelers. But then again, I’m not a fan of Big Ben, guilty or not, his reputation does little to make me like him. But Troy is awfully cute and so much fun to watch.
Decisions, Decisions!
I’m personally rooting for the Steelers, but I’ll still encourage you to root for the Packers anyway. And no, it’s not because of Rothlisburger: I think that was just a case of “he’s rich and famous, so let’s make up allegations to get fame and money”.
Rather, the reason I’m rooting for the Steelers is that my family is from western PA, and I believe that one should root for one’s home teams. Now, that’s a perfectly good reason for me, but it’s (presumably) not applicable to you. And if it weren’t for the fact that I have connections to Pittsburgh, I would be rooting for the Packers, since the whole community-owned thing is something that anyone can get behind.
Point of fact, I like both teams, and in any other possible match-up, I’d root for the Packers (I’d also root for the Browns over the Packers, but that’s not a possible match-up). But I like Pittsburgh more.
Root for Green Bay. The Steelers have been famous as being the dirtiest team in football for years.
Green Bay is not owned by another megalomaniac billionaire who is trying to gouge the people for every dime he can squeeze out.
The Raiders would like a word with you. They’re famous for being dirty, and they’re owned by the Cryptkeeper.
No such thing was proven. And I like how the Steelers sycophants stuck their own [alleged] commentary in the quote when the DA said no such thing. He repeatedly referenced the victim. You’ll note that the DA who took over the Duke Lacrosse case never called the accuser a victim, he called her the accuser. Big difference.
(I begged out of that thread when people expressed that they wanted the hijack to end.)
Based on what the DA said, commentary notwithstanding, would Ben have been charged with rape had she decided to testify? No? Then you’re wrong. Stop saying that her withdrawal was what caused him not to be charged, because it’s just not so.
You really can’t help rooting for a dirty team as a Steelers fan though. You still have Hines “offensives dirtiest” Ward or James “late hit fines $100,000” Harrison.
Oh, come now – that’s just bad PR and everyone “being haters”. I mean they went out and got the wonderful, rule-abiding Flozell Adams…no one can accuse him a complete dirtbag of a cheater, can they?
I mean, unless they’re not a Steelers fan, of course.
