Super Bowl XLV!!!

[shilala]

Super Bowl party at our house, new 60" LED, new Surround, we're pretty serious about our Steelers.
I'm excited to see what our boys do against this air offense, Aaron Rodgers is a mega-stud. I expect it's going to be the best game I've seen all year.
I figure it'll be Steelers 35-28.
You heard it here first. :tu

[Ogre]

Sorry Scott, I have to give this one to the Packers!!! Sorry to bust your bubble!!

[shilala]

Call it, brother. You got a score in mind?
I'm kinda concerned that Polomalu edged out Mathews for Defensive Player of the Year, it may make Mathews mad. I hate to give a guy a head of steam when he's coming at your team.
I expect Polomalu will spend all day helping out the secondary, like he's been doing since his ankle got busted up. Hopefully he'll be well enough to play up on the ball and do some blitzing. We're gonna need pressure on Rodgers.

[Bageland2000]

Scott your Steelers are gonna cream the Packers (I hope and pray)

[Volusianator]

This game scares the crap outta me, win or lose, I just wish it was over so I could get some sleep!

[E.J.]

Not exactly how they can call the game super without the Bronco's being involved, but I'll watch it anyway....

Though I don't have hate for either team, I really don't like either team either.... Can't even pick a side. Hope the game goes to OT w/ one of them winning on a touchdown after both get a possession.

[Darrell]

I was a big Steelers fan back in the days of THE BUS. I don't follow Football anymore, but I still want to see the Steelers pull it off!

I believe its going to be a close game, less than 7. I will say 30-27

Not familiar with this event.......

We both picked a lot of points. The Steelers only score about 20 and give up about 11 on average. I think we might suck at this. :D

[IBQTEE1]

Go Pack Go!!!

[fhrblig]

Pulling for the Packers, but I expect the Steelers to win. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong.

I don't really hate the Steelers or anything, I just think it's time another kid got to play on the tire swing. Quit hogging it, you guys!

This makes sense to me. Too bad they don't like to share.

Good defenses will give their offense good opportunities to score. Too bad GB hasn't seen a defense quite like this one. (Yes, I know theirs is similar).

Look for Antonio Brown to make headlines.

I'm hoping for a blow out, so I'll pick:
Steelers 34 Packers 17

[Commander Quan]

24-17 Pitt

[kelmac07]

21-17 Pittsburgh :2

Defense wins ball games. I just pray we have enough. Pouncey is gonna be a tough hole to fill.

[jesseboston81]

I'm also calling a blowout; it's going to seem like the Steelers aren't even on the field. Packers win, 45-10.

[Volusianator]

Go Pack Go!!!

And from Chicagoland...hell yeah! :noon

God I hope you're right!

[pennjones]

I don't know what the score will be, but I love the Steelers! We're having a big super bowl party at my house, and y'all are invited! It should be a good one. I'll be smoking the ribs at around 1030 on Sunday and the Chili and ribs will be ready for game time! We don't have a big house, but we have a 60" tv and we're packing the place full of Steelers fans!

[RevSmoke]

Packer victory! 24-17

Scott, we on for our bet? You get the Steelers, I'll take the Packers. Whoever loses must smoke an entire Swisher Sweet tipped grape cigar and it must be witnessed and photographed by another member of this board!

The winner must smoke a Padron '26 #35 Maduro and review according to the old review version from SMOKE magazine and post it here. They also must be witnessed and photgraphed by another member of this board!

So, you on?

I don't have any members around here, but I can get Lisa to stand in if necessary. I already told her about it, and she'll definately be on your side. :D
I'm sure she'd love to watch me try to get down a Swisher Grape.

I will accept Lisa as a stand-in with the camera, as long as we get a picture of her in there too. :D

Then it is a deal.

[shilala]

If Wade is half as excited about his Packers as I am about my Steelers right now, I bet you couldnt pound a nail up his ass.
I'm back in Steelers Country right now, and even the old ladies in the courthouse have their Polomalu jerseys on. I'm just wearing my Steelers hat, coat and hoodie. :D

[TBone]

AFC all the way 28-21 Steelers...fingers crossed

Sorry Scott but I'll be waiting to see if you blow chunks...Swisher is almost as bad as a gorilla finger.

[RevSmoke]

I just loaded up my Padron '26 #35 for tomorrow.

Scott, you have a grape Swisher? Or do I need to send you a couple?

You know what, I really don't care if you smoke a grape Swisher or not. Just have a smoke with me in celebration. It was a great game, sweated it all the way to the end.

Will be out on Shawano Lake tomorrow with the ice auger and sitting in a converted pop-up camper with a wood stove in it. I expect the temp in there to be near 80, outside temp probably won't top 20. CoreyD and 14holestogie will be joining me at some point in time tomorrow and we'll enjoy celebrating the Packers bringing the Lombardi tropy back home.

Yeehaw!

Peace of the Lord be with you.

[RandJCigars]

Green and Yellow...called it before preseason. Great game!

[longknocker]

Congrats To The Packers & Fans! Great Game!:tu

[taltos]

Scott, enjoy your Swisher Sweet. :r:r:r

[Bunker]

Always fun to wake up to a Steelers failure :noon

Did Polamalu and Harrison even play?

Oh, wait - I see Troy getting beat for a touchdown in the highlights.

Harrison apparently had 1 tackle, he must be on the downside of his "supplement" cycle.

Of course there was plenty of Randle El celebrating on display - at least for the 2 catches he made. Way to dance when you are down by two scores jackass.

And what can you say Big "No means no" Ben?

Couple of picks for 14 points going the other way.:td

The only thing better would have been seeing him get his nose broken again.

Can you tell I hate Pittsburgh :D

I am happy for the Packers, although if their receivers could catch the ball it never would have been that close.

[Stephen]

Yeah, I guess Jordy Nelson forgot to pack his hands for the trip down to Dallas. I thought I was going to have a stroke when Pittsburgh went for and got the two point converstion, followed by the Packers settling for three in the redzone.

That's cold, Wade. I thought you and Brett were chums.

'Grats to the Pack -- I didn't have a dog in this fight. Wait, that's Michael Vick. Anyway, while I'm glad the Packers won -- hard not to like Rodgers and feel good about a ring for Woodson and some of the other long-time players -- I wouldn't have minded seeing Rapistberger get a third ring just to spite the Tom Brady rump swabs in my area.

Crap,what about our National Anthem?

Oh and Go Pack! :tu

[marge796]

Congratulations to the Green Bay Packers and their fans. Tough loss for the Steeler Nation, I'm already looking forward to next season when we make yet another attempt at football immortality.


Chris.....

[RevSmoke]

I know music styling may very. I know that tastes may very.

But, is it wrong to thing that personal musical stylings have no place when singing the National Anthem as a moment of respect?

Personally, I think our national anthem gets disrepected quite a bit when sung before many sporting events - by fan, by performers, and by those organizing the event.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

[IBQTEE1]

It was a good game last night. I have to say my stomach was doing flips at the end of the game. But all I have to say is GO PACK GO.

Worst National Anthem and halftime entertainment ever! If you can call that entertainment...EPIC FAIL!!!

Christina Aguilera is tough to look at, but her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner brought tears to my eyes.
Probably not as many tears as the Swisher Grape I have to smoke cause of the bet I lost to him, but tears nonetheless.

I b1tched about the cover two defense from the beginning of the second quarter, it decimated our blitz and the Pack had zero running game. The only way to Aaron Rodgers is to keep him on his back. We didn't get that done, and he made us pay.
What an amazing job by a young quarterback. It was truly a masterpiece for Packers fans to enjoy.
Everyone here said "Even though the Steelers lost, it was a really good game."
I punched them all in the face and threw them out of the house. :D

[Commander Quan]

I'm going to be taking a lot of crap from the Cleveland Browns fan all around me, I guess it's a good thing for them that they'll never have to experience what it feels like to loose a Super Bowl. :r

[jimmyk26]

Okay, last time Green bay won the superbowl. It was my birthday, Jan 26th 1997, this win was just as good and it's not even my birthday! Go, Pack, Go!

Oh, and Mike Tomlin is one classy guy "...they just played a great game..." it is great to see guys like him as head coaches in the NFL.

[Wanger]

Sorry Scott but I'll be waiting to see if you blow chunks...Swisher is almost as bad as a gorilla finger.

Do we need to post that pic of you again to remind everyone how bad the Gorilla Finger is, Paul? Swishers are NOT even close to them!!!

[taltos]

Sorry Scott but I'll be waiting to see if you blow chunks...Swisher is almost as bad as a gorilla finger.Scott, read my review of a Swisher and you will have an idea of what is waiting for you. Only thing is that it was worse than my review, didn't want to get suspended for language and scaring children.:r:r:r

I can only imagine. I like grape, so there's that. I'd probably be better off eating it than smoking it.

[RevSmoke]

Scott, I cannot do it. I cannot make you smoke a grape Swisher. I will post picks up tomorrow, but I didn't smoke a '26 #35 maduro, I smoked a natural. So... If you just want to smoke a, umm, a JJ Maduro - that will be sufficient.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Thanks for that, Todd. Beit as it may, I'm smoking that filthy Swisher, at least up till I puke. A bet is a bet, ya know?
Now I just have to find one. I think they have them at our convenience stores here, I'll put it on my shopping list.
Once I find it, we're gonna have to wait till I find somewhere I can smoke it. That might take till the weather breaks a bit, or when I go to Punta Cana in February. I'd just go ahead and smoke it in the garage, but it's too cold, and I might have to burn my garage down afterwards. :D

[RevSmoke]

So, I was supposed to get a picture of me smoking a Padron '26 #35. It was supposed to be a maduro, but went for the natural instead. Forgive me!

Anyway, was supposed to post some pics.

Good-looking stick. What a great size with that wondeful box press. But I gotta say, the Padron wrappers and not the prettiest.

First, this was an incredible smoke. After already having had a couple other cigars, I did think that maybe it wouldn't be as full-bodied as I normally think of them. Wooooops! That was a wrong idea. Incredibly powerful for such a little stick. It was "all that" right from the get go and kept it till nubbed. Rich and bold flavor, some spice and wonderful complexity with some citrus, cedar, and leather notes.

Yes, it truly is enjoyable. And watching Pawn Stars and Pickers with 14holestogie and CoreyD was comical. Corey was the photographer who chronicled this for you.

Way to go Packers! Thanks for the excuse to have a couple great smokes.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Did I read that right?? Scott, did you say you need a Grape Swisher?? Well, I'll bet someone can take care of that for you. I'd hate for you to have to go shopping for one when a box of them could magically show up at your doorstep. :lr

Looks like Titletown to me. I showed up after the game, stayed home and watched it with the wife. However, I did celebrate after the game with a 1989 Cuban Dunhill followed by a Don Carlos Anniversario. It was a good night all the way around.

Where else would true Packer fans go to have a cigar if they are near Green Bay.

Thought about coming out Sunday night to watch the game there, but decided against it. How many Super Bowls will the Packers be in and in which I be able to sit and watch with my sons? Hopefully, when they are old enough, they'll say, "Hey dad, why don't we go watch the Super Bowl at Titletown so we can enjoy a fine cigar wathing the Packers beat the ______?"

Till that time, I think it was great to be home with my sons and watch the game, high-5ing, cheering, and biting our fingernails together.

So, Tim, Corey, and I ended up over there on Monday for a bit.

One of these times I'll run into you there.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

[larryinlc]

Rabid Fans!!

Where else would you find a capacity crowd in single digit temps welcoming the team. Shoot, they were even tailgaiting since early in the morning. Picture from the celebration this afternoon.
