Defense wins championships: I'll go for the Steelers (by 14).  O0 (Although it would be nice to add a new name to list of winners, I don't think the Cards will do it).

I do so love the narrow mindedness of SOCCER fans!

I'd love to see Arizona win as well Pete but I think your right good Defense does win games so I'm gonna have to back Pittsburgh.

As you probably know, many college teams play for various bowl trophies, eg the Orange Bowl, the Rose Bowl. The professional game had to be bigger and better so it was called 'Super' Bowl. It was called the Superbowl after the first two head-to-head games between the (formerly rival) professional leagues: the American and the National (Superbowls I and II weren't officially known by that name at the time).
(With a bit of luck, we'll get to see a UK based team win the Superbowl in my lifetime  O0)

The World Series in baseball was orginally called "The Championship of the United States" but several newspapers started calling the 1884 Providence Grays "the World Champions" and the name stuck. The first time the championship was officially called the World Series was in 1903. Blame the media for that one!  ::)

If I wanted to watch fat men bunmping into each other I'd watch Sumo.

They are fatter, and better bumpers.

I can't see the Steelers losing it although the Cardinals have been very successful throwing the ball rather than running it so always some possibilites. My money would be on the Steelers though O0

I think that answers the question as posed by Harri - I guess we need to start another thread asking if you find it interesting or not and will you or do you watch it - I doubt that would make any positive contribution to the board so no need O0
