FWIW, the Jets' victory (that is singular) in the Super Bowl was probably the most influential game for what the sport has become today. I remember it well. The build up with Namath was classic. Poolside shots sipping drinks, guaranteeing a win when nobody gave them, or anyone connected with the AFL, a chance...Biggest upset ever with the greatest long term affect. But the organization was more of a class act then, starting with Weeb vs Rex.

Its funny when people keep jabbing us Pats fans about how they are no longer in the picture.......we know this and we are over it. At least I am! I am looking forward to some great football today with these classic matchups! The Bears/Packers game.....I don't care who wins but I am hoping for a close game!! Steelers/Jets......looking for a classic beating of the Jets!! LT running for negative yardage and possibly spraining his pinky finger in the early minutes of the game.....sidelining him for the remainder! (We all know what a "gamer" he is) I am never a fan of the loud mouths either......and we know the Jets are a bunch of loud mouths so looking forward to a Steeler trouncing.......45-13!!! The best matchup for the SB I think is Steelers/Packers!!!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I think I'd want GB to win the whole thing because:

  1. People will speak less of Brett Farve. When ever GB comes up people have to tell a Farve story even though he's been gone from there for a few years. Sure pretty good QB for years, not knocking him but the Brettfest has been old for a while. This alone is reason for GB to win.
  2. Want to see Steeler fans whine more.
  3. Want to see (some) Jets fans suffer more . Some of my JETS fan friends are worthy of suffering more misery.

I guess with my team out, just want to watch some good football!

That game may have shaped the NFL post-merger. Because of the imbalance between the numbers of NFL/AFL teams, Rozelle had to try to convince 3 established NFL franchises to join the "minor league". The Jets' win, followed by the Chiefs the following year (and Bud Grant's Vikings were almost as highly regarded as Shula's Colts), made it a lot easier to convince the Colts, Steelers and Browns to join the AFL teams as the new AFC.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
