I think Atlanta deserves more respect then it's received all season yet I'm a Wilson fan from his play at Madison. Falcons have had a fantastic season and no one cares. Wilson has had a great season but is constantly eclipsed by Luck and RG3

Either would be pleasant.

You knew A-12 is my #1 boyfriend didn't ya?? #2 is Ryan Braun, #4 is Matt Kenseth, #5 is Steve Stricker, and #6 is Matt LePay, voice of the Badgers. My #3 used to be Rickie Fowler, and I know he's not a Wisconsin native, but he was a QT until I found out he was a repub!!! Said something pretty telling after the debates between POTUS and mittens.....so he's been banished from my list of boyfriends.

Fowler is a Repub? Damn, I admired his motocross and golf, now has to go on my "not a fan of" list.

I played golf with Stricker while he was still a student at Illinois. Strick was a "single" and caught up to my threesome at Yahara Hills. Finished the round with us. Wow, he absolutely stunned us even back then. Long, straight and in perfect control. Still my fave on the Tour.

I am not a fan of nascar, but because Matt is a Wisconsinite I keep an eye on him. http://www.mattkenseth.com/ and love Steve Stricker......how cool golfing with him, I'm jealous.

With them out, I'm going to root for the Seahawks. That's my brother-in-law's favorite team.

I think out of all the freshmen QB he looks like he has the best chance for a long career.

But I do know that it would make my BIL's life if they won the Super Bowl. I don't think he's ever been west of Indiana, and I don't know how he got to be a Seahawks fan, but he's been one since childhood and he loves that team.

He went to high school a mile down the road from me.

If today doesn't go well for them, then maybe 49ers. Just as long as it's not the Pats.

I'm cool with Atlanta, Seattle, and Baltimore. I'd even be OK with the Texans if they win today.

Instead of the Pats or the 49ers. If both of those teams make it to the SB I don't think I'll even watch it.

and I don't think they will, even if they win today, they will have a rough time in New Orleans. After the egg incident in Atlanta against the Saints, they will not exactly be welcomed in the Crescent City. Saints fans are taught from birth to despise the Falcons, but they are especially hated this year.

I don't condone violence in any way, but from what I have been hearing recently, Saints fans will be throwing more than eggs at the Dirty Birds if they manage to stumble their way to the SB. They may need a police escort.

I'm also kind of sick of New England and San Francisco. I would really like to see Seattle win, but Baltimore would be okay.

I have a friend in Atl. and they have an ex Iowa guy on defense so go Falcons. But it sure would have been nice to see Seattle come to Green Bay in January with real officials. I think we (the Pack) would have wiped them out.
And btw, I say "we" because I'm an owner of the Green Bay Packers.
