I really thought the Packers could take it all the way this year. About 9 years ago, I did a team swap with a guy in my World of Warcraft guild. He was from Wisconsin and a shareholder of the Packers, so I said I'd support them, and have ever since.


Of course that means he got the Demons. I feel kind of bad about that.

I did the same thing with a friend in the UK, said I'd support Tottenham if he supported Essendon. When he came out here last year we went to a game, it was the game against St Kilda...

It will probably be the Panthers for reasons. Plus the race thing has been stirred up all year and making that many old white people mad is a beautiful thing.

Having it (and the NCAA college football championships) on weekday mornings is kinda annoying, but oh well.

I figure the Broncos will win because everyone wants the Panthers to win and the Broncos seem like a Hawthorn/Geelong type who are always in the finals year in year out. Then we have a situation where it's like "oh, Hawthorn won again?" :tootzzz: :smith:

So apparently the most important part of the Super Bowl according to news sources is that an AUSTRALIAN has an ad competing for best ad, so let's all show some AUSSIE PRIDE and cheer on OUR Peter Carstairs who I am a massive fan of since I heard of his existence minutes ago

I was raised on the dairy, BITCH!
I looked at my leave balance and had to pick between taking the Superbowl off or Wrestlemania.
I picked Wrestlemania. Now I just have to find other people who want to drink and eat BBQ'd meat that day instead of going to work.

Man it really feels like with injuries and worse than usual booking they really stuffed up this wrestlemania when they're trying to break their all time attendance record. On paper it is looking extremely weak with what's rumoured :(

Personally hoping for Big Show vs Braun Strowman, myself. Big Show to do 7 face/heel turns over the course of the match. Hopefully Iron Man.

Naw

As I'm sure I've stated before I always think rule changes are a great way to shake up the established order of things, and the Hawks are a team of old, old men that need to be managed.
