To be honest with you I could care less but any excuse to eat chicken and drink beer is a good excuse.

We don't have a team here in Orange County (or LA for that matter) but, it was a pretty good game despite all the prognostication to the contrary. But for one play, the Cardinals would have won the game, and almost prevailed anyway.

Don't be a sore loser! You guys were up for a bit. And It was a pretty close game.

I was on the edge of my seat during the last quarter. And what about that 100 yard interception return?!!

First of all I am not being a sore loser, I really did not expect the Cardinals to put up much of a fight, I just like rooting for the underdog, you are the one who said you couldn't care less about the game not me. I am actually a steelers fan, I would have just liked to see a team that had never been there win it, so I was torn between two teams.

I meant that as in i'm not a terrible towel carrying, jersey wearing, freeze my but off in the cold kind of fan. But my favorite team is the steelers. Why does everybody on this board take the general poking of fun so seriously? Its the internet. :-D

Dan,

Best to not take any of it to heart. Part of the problem is that the Internet combines the worst of anonymity and publicity. People feel emboldened to take swipes they might not take, in say, a bar, but they feel compelled to defend themselves because everyone is watching. Add in that it's just text - no facial expressions or intonations to help determine if someone is angry or joking or maybe not all that quick, and you have a recipe for misunderstanding.

I find it's best to make your comment, tell your story or state your opinion and let it go. It generally doesn't accomplish much to fight for the last word or steadfastly argue one's point.

FWIW, I'm a casual, but not clueless, fan and, I will sheepishly admit I was rooting for the Steelers mostly because I did not want Kurt Warner to have yet another opportunity to credit prayer or Jesus for the win. I don't really have anything against the guy, and I kind of like his style of play, but the use of professional sports as a platform to prosyletize just bugs me. If one of these guys was handed the Lombardi trophy and said, "First off, I'd like to thank Allah for giving me the strength to prevail over the infidels..." well, all holy hell would break loose. As it was, I thought he and Larry Fitzgerald played a hell of a game and I felt a bit sorry for the Cardinals that they came so close to defying the conventional wisdom.

I didn't realize I was being serious, I was just thought that I was more clearly explaining myself, I guess the 100 :poke2: smileys i have used on this subject just were not enough.
