Alright Baltimore, it is Super Bowl week. The Pittsburgh Steelers go into Tampa Bay heavy favorites against the Arizona Cardinals.
So what’ll it be Baltimore? Do you root for your division? Or do you hate the Steelers and all of their fans so much that if Satan assembled a team to play the Steelers you’d be sitting in the front row painted in red cheering for lucifer’s squad?
Super Bowl XLIII features the underdog Cardinals lead by veteran quarterback Kurt Warner against the fiery hot Steelers lead by Super Bowl XL Champion quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
As a Ravens fan this Super Bowl is frustrating, because you have to expect that the Steelers will definitely over power the Cardinals and seeing Pittsburgh succeed makes you feel sick to your stomach. Totally understood.
After last year’s Super Bowl when the undefeated Patriots were knocked off by Tom Coughlin and the New York Giants you should never go into Super Bowl Sunday thinking you know the outcome.
Despite our hatred for the Steelers, you must understand that this Super Bowl makes the AFC North look like a power house in the NFL. I ask you this Baltimore, who is a better division than the AFC North? Is it the AFC East, the Ravens punished the Dolphins in the first round of the playoffs and they were the division champs. How about the mighty NFC East? When the Ravens 2008 schedule came out they had to face this grueling division…well they took 3 out of 4 this year. Sure the Browns and Bengals were truly embarrassing this year, but the AFC North was well represented in the playoffs, more so than any other division…and mark my words, the Cleveland and Cincinnati will be back.
What do you do? Do you pull for the team that has never won a championship or do you have a soft spot for your division and pull for the Steelers?
For me the answer is a no brainer, I’ll be rooting for the Arizona Cardinals.
