That stadium is absolutely beauty. Black Eyed Peas were f-cking awful that's when I stopped watching and went to bed.

Just started to come round after celebrating the Packers win. A bit of a shock seeing the pile of empty tins, must have drunk most of them through the 3rd qtr (thought we were going to bottle it) but Rodgers got back on track for the 4th and saw us home. Massive game for the defence as well, considering the injuries during the game. Rodgers now has the monkey off his back re: being Favre's understudy, he has come on leaps and bounds this season after a couple of dodgy years post Favre. I thought the Steelers had no answer to a mixed running and passing game when it was executed well, which surprised me with them having all the Superbowl experience. Roll on next season..

And that was with the benefit of obvious auto-tune too.

Think yourself lucky you didn't see them on the X Factor where they performed without it.

On the game itself, better team won although had the Packers not jumped out to such a convincing early lead the losses of Woodson and Shields (albeit the latter for only part of the game) could have been much more of an influence.

I can't think of four better consecutive road performances by a QB than Rodgers has put in during these playoffs - he's got some good receivers to throw to (and James "Vince Fawcett" Jones) but by god he makes best use of the tools he's got.

So how come the Patriots haven't been in the SB for a while? Are they rubbish now? Do I need another SB team?

Yes you should support the Carolina Panthers now they are the best team in the league and should win the SB for the next 3/4 years

I think if I don't see the Pats in next years SB I'll have to switch teams. Steelers seem to get there quite often, maybe I'll switch to them.

Don't be a glory hunter Bang - become an Oakland Raiders fan.

You get all the kudos of supporting a team from one of the NFLs skankiest neighbourhoods, without any of the worry about whether you're actually going to win anything.

That actually is a good summary of Bangs life

See, he's part of the Raider Nation without even knowing it.

And their fans are gangsters too ?

Are they?

I'm sold.

Not all.

No not all are gangsters some of them are weirdo's too TBF

Mr. 72 looks cool. Like one of the Legion of Doom dudes. Probably is one of the League of Doom guys, they won't be upto much these days.

I doubt it he can't even get a start for his college team, I would think that most NFL QB's would be able to do a lot of what he does in that video(maybe the basketball hoop thing apart) I bet it took thousands of attempts and some of it doesn't even look real to me TBH.(and a few NFL experts that have seen it)

I'd like to see him do that with a defensive line/pass rushers running at him,now that would be impressive

Is that his college? Where is he?

He's a nerd. There's no way he could play QB for the school team. He ain't cool fer sh-t.

Not a surprise really - he's in decline, they've got his heir apparent already at the club so it's hard to justify the kind of money he would have been due for 2011.

Sure someone will pick him up providing he's sensible with his contract demands.

Yep same thing I said injuries have caught up with him, could still do a job but his next contract will be his last more than likely, he will end up at Miami IMO.

Deangelo Williams will be a good free agent pick-up if Carolina don't offer him a new contract, they are not franchising him so it's a possibilty.

Any news on the CBA fellas ?
I'm sure i heard it mentioned that there would be another meeting with an indipendent mediator present.

Cheers jake ,surely they'll come to some sort of agreement!

Hopefully. The NFL season coincides nicely with the end of Warrington's season....usually early september.

I don't think it will be sorted as soon as some think, there's a hell of a lot to sort out. I hope I am wrong though and they get a deal done so we don't miss any of the season!

As someone put it during superbowl week "it's millionaires arguing against billionaires"
