Ice Bowl II ... Texas Style!

It's been a great year, so here is a "Super" toast to all of you (or to the one guy who has clicked my blog a few thousand times), and the 12 people in China who follow me.

Ice Bowl II ... Texas Style!

Here we are in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The frozen tundra! Super Bowl XLV. Knoll vs. Lombardi, Star vs. Bradshaw, Harris vs. Hornung, Steel Curtain vs. ... Oops! Sorry everyone. I was playing Madden 2011 (the old-timer's game) with my boys and just got carried away.

Yes, it is Super Bowl XlV. We have the two most storied franchises not named the Dallas Cowboys. Steelers vs. Packers, who just happen to be playing at Cowboys Stadium.

Props to Jerry Jones. Who else besides PT Barnum could pull this off? The biggest story the past 2 weeks has not been anything about the participants, it's been the Dallas snow storm.

As I watch today's game, here are my top 10 questions:

1. Will Aaron Rodgers break the curse of the Cal QB in the Super Bowl (o-4)?

2. Will Clay Mathews be Head & Shoulders above Tory Palamalu?

3. Will we see a Packers fan wear string cheese on his head ... Reggae style cheese head?

4. Will we see the steel curtain or one that's titanium alloy?

5. Will Mr. Goodell be handing James Harris a check, or a fine after today's game?

6. By game's end, will a Bishop be bigger than a Pope?

7. Since Jerry owns everything in Dallas, will we see him on the side lines hugging players from the winning team?

8. If the Steelers win, why would they want a Lombardi trophy?

9. With an Aaron Rodgers victory, does Chico become the party capital once again?

10. Do you think the Niners and the Raiders would like a mulligan with their draft picks in 2005? Alex Smith #1, and Fabian Washington #23.

Two quotes I would love to hear after the game, but won't:

"Big Ben, you have just won the Super Bowl. What are going to do next?" Ben: "I'm going to star in the next edition of "Girls Gone Wild!"

"Aaron Rodgers, you have just won the Super Bowl. What are you going to do next?" Aaron: "I'm going back to Cal for my senior year!"
