Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Super Sunday Open Thread


Despite the fact that this is a hockey blog, it would be ridiculous of us to ignore the fact that today is the biggest sports day of the year. Feel free to use this open thread for the day, and if you want to check out what SBNation has to offer for football:

SBNation Pittsburgh

Behind the Steel Curtain: For Pittsburgh Steelers

Acme Packing Company: For Green Bay Packers

Despite the fact that both teams have great defenses, I don't think we'll see much of either of them.

Jim's Predicition:

Green Bay 38

Steelers 34

Also, Pens-Caps on NBC today, busy day for Western Pensylvanians.

For the latest on the Pens, check out Pensburgh, and no one covers the Caps like Japers Rink.

Remember if you visit any of the other communities, you have to play by their rules. What flies here doesn't necessarily fly everywhere else.

I hear ya… the only possible pleasure I could glean from watching this game is to potentially see Rapelisberger get pummeled.

Gonna say I’m picking the Packers 33-30.

Anybody watch Pens-Caps? Good game, Cooke kneed Ovechkin, pretty dirty hit I thought. He definitely led with the knee.

Green took one to the noggin as well, he was gone after the first.

pretty tough game. these teams really don’t like each other.

by Richter1994 on Feb 6, 2011 3:43 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah, a good day for NBC...

Green almost loses his ear, Knuble eats a stick, and Cooke knees Ovi. Lots of violence in the early afternoon!

Matt Cooke is leading the NHL in the douche standings in my opinion. He does shit like this constantly and I think he’s the dirtiest player in the league right now. Made me smile to see Ovechkin start punching him in the face though right after the cheap shot.

Cooke only does things when players are defenseless. Like when Prust challenged him last week Cooke skated away like a scared child.

Best Pre Game Show "Half Ton Man and Half Ton Teen" on Discovery Health

Watching these fat bastards makes me forget about the current losing streak, lack of power play and any potential turd of a deal Sather might make. Packers 38 Steelers 27, Aaron Rodgers MVP.

Versus is making changes

Regis McGuire is now the 3rd announcer between the glass like all the NBC broadcasts effective ASAP. He will be with Eddie O. and Doc Emrick tomorrow for the NYR-Red Wings game.
Apparently Joe Beninati is out at Versus as well, along with sideline reporter Bob Harwood. I guess Sam is going to be doing more games for them in the future?

he knew his way around the league (players wise) but his sayings annoyed me. not the worst tho

Yeah his insight or anything wasn’t bad, it was just his voice and his terms. Like he sounded so fucking weird with the way he said things and his voice is also so annoying. Like Ovechkin did not shoot a blazer, he had a hard slap shot lol.

Have to pull for GB here. The entire state of Pennsylvania in on my sports team shit-list, and I’ll be damned if they get any satisfaction. Especially with that ‘quality’ human being they have at quarterback.

Ranger fan in Pittsburgh

I gotta tell you…Steeler fans are more annoying than Pens fans. This may be due to the fact that several of my good fans who are Pens fans are quite knowledgeable and reasonable, while the people I know who are Steelers fans are quite the opposite. So…not pissed at all about GB taking the trophy.

Love how many injuries they had and they continued to just plug guys in and still find a way to win. That’s coaching.
