Super Bowl XLV

Super Bowl XLV is set.  It's NFC Champion Green Bay versus AFC Champion Pittsburgh.  The Packers have a chance to win the 4th Super Bowl title in 5 trips to the big game, while the Steelers can win an unprecedented 7th championship in 8 tries.

Dallas (5-3) is the only other NFL franchise that has been to 8 Super Bowls.  San Francisco (5-0) is the only franchise that has been to multiple championship games and never lost.


The game will be played on 6 February 2011.


I don't have a favorite here.  In fact, I have disliked Green Bay since I learned about football and as a Raider fan, I have a traditional dislike of Pittsburgh.


I like Aaron Rodgers, QB for the Packers.  I kind of like Hines Ward, WR for the Steelers.


But I'm essentially indifferent to the result of the game.  The best I can say is that in two weeks, football season will be over and I can focus specifically and intently on college basketball.


Good luck to fans of both teams.
