Bring on Superbowl

Ok, the whole of USA is now probably gearing up for the biggest TV event of the year, SUPERBOWL XL. The event when people starts learning Roman numerals and when the whole nation stopped in track (had a horrible experience in USA in 2003 when the plumber refused to come after the end of the game. Btw, the Bucs won that year).

Superbowl XL will be staged in my so-called home state of Michigan. In fact, Detroit have been preparing for the Superbowl since 2002 with the new stadium for the crappy Lions. So what are we expecting in Superbowl XL since wardrobe malfunctioned was banned in 2004. Last year was the conservative Paul McCartney, so not too sure who it will be this time.

Let's talk about the main game itself. It will be an interesting matchup between
VS


Pittsburgh Steelers have always been the powerful house winning 4 consecutive Superbowls in the 70s and managed to go 13 games unbeaten last season with their rookie quarterback of Ben Roethelisburger. This season they have broken all records by being the first team ever to win three road games to reach Superbowl.

The Seahawks have been the perennial team doing well in the regular season but falling at the first hurdle in the last few seasons. With Shaun Alexander being the top rusher in the country this time, it is encouraging that the Seahawks are finally proven their worth.

Ok, so both teams that have overcome the odds to reach the 40th Superbowl. Let's place our bets now. Mine is on the Steelers!
