That game is on today.

If you guys didn't know, the Super Bowl is today. The Steelers--my least favorite team in the universe--are playing the Arizona Brenda Warners.

Storylines include:

Who's hair is longer and has more undiscovered species in it: Larry Fitzgerald or Troy Paulauaualauamalu?

Will Ben Roethlisberger play the game without a helmet on then after he gets hurt refuse to do any work for the awareness of wearing a helmet?

Is Edgerrin James in fact playing with a vengeance like Lil Wayne said he was?

How many times will we hear about how Ken Whisenhunt used to be a coach on the Steelers? (Also for bonus: over/under on the 'genius' of Dick Juron)

Will this game even be able to hold a candle to the Puppy Bowl?

How underrated really is Hines Tomato Ketchup Ward? Really? Oh and did you know he's a good blocker?

All this and the anticipation of commercials that won't even be that good!

Post your predictions and/or comments below.

I hope the Steelers lose by 500 points.

I wish there was a good college basketball game on tonight. I would totally watch that over the Super Bowl. I just really don’t care about either team. If anything I’m rooting against the Steelers, but they’re probably going to win.

I think the difference in the game will be Arizona’s trick plays. Whisenhunt loves the trickery. I just have a bad feeling that one of those trick plays will involve Anquan Boldin throwing into triple coverage because the Steelers D won’t be fooled. If Anquan Boldin does not throw a pick today, the Cardinals will win.

Hilarious post Rudy. The “Brenda Warners.”

I’m still mourning our 32-25 loss to the Cardinals a couple weeks back, but here’s my take: I have no particular opinion about the Steelers, mostly because Philadelphia hasn’t developed a genuine rivalry with our cross-state football team (Interestingly enough, with a reeling economy during WWII and a desire by NFL big-heads to consolidate the league, the Eagles and the Steelers merged for a year as the “Steagles.” My dad was six and I was undeveloped sperm.). Still, it’s tough to swallow the fact that Pittsburgh has five, and soon maybe six, Super Bowl Titles while Philly has approximately zero.

Additionally, I have no particular feelings about the Cardinals. Generally I adhere to a sports philosophy that isn’t so dog-eat-dog. The team that beats my team deserves my respect and I have no problems throwing my support for the “Brenda Warners.” All is fair in love and war; the Cardinals beat us rather fairly and they should understand that most (hopefully) Philadelphia fans don’t wish Arizona fire-and-brimstone after the outcome of the NFC Championship. (What should really anger Philly fans is the fact that the Eagles have made it to 5 out of the last 8 championships, lost four of those five, made it to a Super Bowl, but lost. Goddamn you Andy Reid).

My prediction: Cardinals 27, Steelers 21.

Just in case you were interested, Rudy, I checked out Brenda Warner’s MySpace page. The following is her About Me:

“I am married to NFL/Super Bowl MVP Kurt Warner. I have 4 wonderful children and a dog named Dick Vermeil. Kurt is a good football player because of his faith. He can throw the ball very far. I enjoy book clubs, youth groups, motivational speaking, and a good haircut.”
