Oh yes. I'm a cheesehead for life but I have been following the Steelers for the last few seasons also. I have a buddy who is a huge Giants fan so he's pretty pleased today!

I'm liking the look of a New England/Green Bay Superbowl this year..........

I don't get to see any games over here other than the Superbowl so all I can do is follow nfl.com really. Here's how I see the road to the Superbowl panning out:

AFC
New England hump Jacksonville
Indianapolis hump A whale's vagina (San Diego)

New England then edge it vs Indianapolis in the championship game which will probably be a lot better than the Superbowl.

NFC
Green Bay will hump Seattle
Dallas will hump the Giants and I will laugh at my mate's tears

Green Bay will edge it over Dallas with a bit of luck but again, this game should be a slobberknocker.

No, soccer hooligans only beat up rival teams fans. The NFL fans they leave alone because they have enough problems in their lives already.

Most people here wouldn't have a clue who he was. My boss just went to Winconsin on a business trip and brought me back a cheesehead. Maybe if I wear that in the pub I will hit problems.........

As a Viking fan, I see Favre choking again and losing this week to Seattle. He has made a career of beating up on weak opponents, but choking in big games.

Never speak ill of Brett Favre. That is a bannable offence from now on.

Brett Favre is so dumb.....

How dumb is he?


He is so dumb that he doesnt even know that his name should be pronounced Fav-ray.

Viking fan, as in zero-for-four-in-Super-Bowls Viking fan, talks about someone else choking. :roll:

Seriously, I can't argue much with Dave's core point. With the exception of the one year (97), Favre has tried (maybe had to some years) to do it all by himself, and overextended.

While I like Green Bay's chances this weekend, Favre's 0-9 in Dallas, I can't see that changing, as much as I would like it to.

Now, about these cheeseheads: I was fortunate enough to attend the Super Bowl in 1997. After the game, I'm walking around the French Quarter and come upon a few Patriots fans, one of whom said, "I'm going to take a bite of your cheese!", then leaned over and bit off the corner of my cheesehead hat.

Unfortunately, in our drunken stupor, none of us thought to have one of his buddies get a picture or something, but it's still a fun memory.

They weren't being malicious, just having fun. We went for a beer after, it was a good time.

That would only be true if there were an acute accent above the e in his name (é) but there is not. Who is the dumbass now hmmm? :wink:
