Let’s Talk Football…

First, let’s talk about the Super Bowl matchup between Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers?  Who are you for and why?  Green Bay started off strong against the Chicago Bears in their NFC Championship game.  But I think they thought they had this game and they let up to allow the Bears back in the game.  But in the end, the defense helped them seal the victory.  As for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Jets in the AFC Championship game, the New York Jets woke up in the 2nd half and actually made a game of it.  Only if the New York Jets scored that touchdown rather than getting stopped by the Steelers on that goal line stance?  We could be seeing a different outcome in that game?  But man, what about the Steelers on that 3rd and long at the end of the game?  I was 99.99% sure they were going to run it and then punt it away.  WOW!!  All I can say.

Now it’s Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers?  Who you going to pick?  As for me, I originally thought it would be New England Patriots playing the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl with New England Patriots winning it all.  But since only one of my team I picked is in the Super Bowl, I’m going with Green Bay Packers, baby!!!!!  The Steelers can’t win the Super Bowl because this is the Dallas Cowboys home field.  Last thing us Cowboys fans want is our rival Steelers winning on our home turf but yet another Super Bowl.  The Dallas Cowboys is America’s Team!  Right Cowboys fans?

A little hometown sports talk for those diehard Cincinnati “Who Dey…Who Dey…think will beat those” Bengals, which is everybody apparently, that loud cheering that everybody in the world heard was from fans that learned that Carson Palmer is supposedly going to be asking the Bengals for a trade or he will retire.  I know the fans haven’t been happy with Carson over the last few years but some changes have to be made.  But my questions to the Bengals fans is who is going to be the next quarterback?  Cincinnati really haven’t been developing a quarterback over these few years.  JT O’Sullivan isn’t Carson Palmer and Carson’s brother isn’t really, well let’s face it, Carson or JT combine.  The Bengals do have the 4th pick of the draft though?  Could they draft a Cam Newton or the Bengals next franchise quarterback?  If they do and I’m Mike Brown I would think about keeping Carson and draft a quarterback to develop the quarterback to take the team over.  Oh yeah, that means firing their offensive coordinator rather than trading Palmer.  Also, Childress isn’t the answer either there.  So, Bengals fans, what’s your thought?
