Washington also, unless you meant 1991 rather than 1994.

Yeah, 1991. Thought they were there more recent than SF.

The lack of excited fan posts from the plethora of Packer fans who are members of this board is thoroughly disappointing.

 

I'm beginning to think that you all aren't really Packer fans, just pretending to be to annoy the Bear fans.

 

YOU ARE IN THE SUPERBOWL.

I post on the Packers board on RealGM.

 

Plus I don't want to disturb the food talk. I think erik ate himself after looking at the pictures of bacon on the last page.

[tfarks]

Thats why its so quiet. I had forgotten erik was banhammered.

I thought maybe you tried to get down to Dallas and got stuck in O'Hare during the storm.

I'm just an entry-level sales dude out of college. I don't have the money for that, unfortunately.

I'll say it! I'm totally stoked for this game and totally hope the rapist gets his man parts sat on by bj raji's fat dancing ass.

[bcl412]

There's only so much that can be said about a game in two weeks. I'll be really ready to go tomorrow night but the long layoff/other stuff in my life has kind of killed my excitement (I mean, as much as excitement can be killed for the Super Bowl.)

Please tell me its not forever

[NCCubFan]

Pouncey's status for the game will be determined later today.

He's out, as is Smith.

Depends on who wins on Sunday.

i assume that some nfl players and prominent members of the media will question their toughness and say that they should play through their injuries, correct? after all, this is the freakin super bowl!!! or does that standard only exist for quarterbacks?

[bcl412]

The media obsession with Ben Roethlisberger being a winner is getting annoying. He clearly was the only player on the Steelers Super Bowl winning teams. He's a decent quarterback on a very good team but ESPN wants to place him among the best ever if the Steelers win this game. That's stupid.

You are really selling him short when you say hes "a decent QB". I know some of us already had this discussion in another thread, but Ben is firmly planted in the group of QB's behind Manning and Brady.

I must have missed the wild horses, or the nuclear holocaust.

 

As I recall those the only acceptable excuses for missing games.

Brady won his three Super Bowls in more or less exactly the same way Roethlisberger won his two (playing usually very well and sometimes great while largely being carried by a great defense), which people seem to want to ignore sometimes.

He's a good QB, especially compared to QB's of today however I was talking more about him compared with QB's of the past. ESPN seems to want to place him as one of the best ever based upon Super Bowl wins when he is not one of the best ever and even if he was that shouldn't be determined because of a team stat. That's more or less what my rant was Ben's getting too much love because of the great teams he has played for.

[BigSlick]

Ben Roethislberger is Schrodinger's Quarterback. He's simultaneously overrated and underrated and you can only find out if you open the box

My favorite Super Bowl hors d'ouevre is diced chicken, wrapped in thick cut bacon, and coated in a mixture of brown sugar and chili powder. Sweet, salty and hot. Totally making them again.

 

oh lord, hit me with some pictures or something, that sounds off the charts

Recipe later, once I find it.

Recipe:

 

Ingredients:

~1 lb boneless chicken breasts/cutlets

~1 lb thick-cut bacon

brown sugar

chili powder (to taste)

toothpicks

 

- Prep brown sugar + chili powder on a bowl/plate, stir together to mix. I use about 1 tbsp chili powder to 1 cup brown sugar, which gives it a little heat but not overpowering. It's not an exact science, just play around and see what works.

- Cut raw chicken breasts into 1-in cubes, try to keep size even so they all cook the same

- Cut bacon strips in half

- Wrap bacon around chicken cube, hold with toothpick.

- Roll bacon-wrapped chicken around in sugar/chili mixture until evenly coated, and put finished ones in baking pan (or cookie sheet, I guess, just something to hold them in there)

- Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 mins, or until chicken is cooked, bacon is cooked, and sugar mixture caramelizes around it.

- Makes about 30-40 or so per batch.

 

Well I just prepped these to cook for the game. I may have cut my chicken a little small but I think they will turn out all right. Do I need to flip them at all or just let them cooked until done?

...And then there were 3: Robert Cook, a Packer fan and member of the "Never Miss a Superbowl" club has been hospitalized and will not travel to Dallas. The remaining members, including 49ers superfan and All-World [expletive] contender Larry Jacobson, are expected to be in attendance.

[OleMissCub]

Cris Carter didn't get in the HOF again....good to see that the NFL's voters are as dumb as MLB's.

[Flames24Rulz]

Yeah, it's safe to say that I'm nervous as [expletive] now.
