Many of you, like myself, have no dog in this fight but we all recognize what it takes to become a great team and compete for a championship. It takes luck, talent, and a few balls to bounce your way to make it to the big dance.
The two teams that are playing may not be the two most attractive team’s football wise, but they both have history of winning. There are several people who may have had the Packers in their Super Bowl picks, including myself, but there were very few people who weren’t Steelers fans that could have seen this coming. No way have they started out this way with the departure of Santonio Holmes for a six piece McNuggets and a sweet tea to the Jets. No way would they continue to play great without their starting quarterback who was suspended for childish acts and irresponsibility.
Both teams had obstacles to clear, as injuries have handicapped both teams for most of the season. The Packers lost their number one running back, tight end, and offensive lineman in the first three weeks of the season. The Steelers gave away their best wide receiver, and released their starting running back into the abyss, while revamping its offensive line starting a new center and signing a believed to be washed up Flozell Adams. Its funny how Adams has spent all of these years as a Cowboy and now he has a chance to get a ring as a Steeler. My story was going to be about Flozell's Homecoming...(That’s a story for another day).
