I stopped watching the Pro Bowl when they moved it to before Super Bowl Sunday. I hate that the top players from the two championship teams can't play in it because of the risk of injury.

I will say it was very classy for the NFL to allow Jeff Saturday the chance to snap the ball to Manning one last time before his retirement.

I feel meh about both teams in the Super Bowl. I'm rooting for the commercials.

Yep, the Pro Bowl just didn't pop my corn.

49ers are my back up team when Pittsburgh was drifting, and I am able to get to their games a few hours north

when I neeeeed that live football fix.

Of Course we have the Chargers an hour south, but they were sunning themselves again this year every time I went to a game.

The Super Bowl jibber jabber will be about the Brothers, and lip syncing or not at 1/2 time.

I am still torn as to what team to root for!
So... I guess I will say may the better team win, but I think deep down inside I may have to say I prefer the 49'ers then the Ravens. Just that NFC thing I guess.

I don't know if I wanna root for just one team, they both deserve to be in the Super Bowl this year. My Patriots were beat out this year by the Ravens. I will probably end up rooting for the 49'ers cause I did like how they played. I also like the quarterback for the Ravens, he's got an arm and can throw in windy conditions with or against the wind.....he showed that when they stopped mah Pats.
Anyway, may the best team win this year. I will be watching the game for sure.
