Super Bowl - Steelers vs. Packers

If they'd lose the Super Bowl because of a picture taken 10 days before the game, they wouldn't have made it to the Super Bowl in the first place.

If I ever was lucky enough to get Super Bowl tickets, I'd probably end up in these seats. Makes those bleacher seats at new Yankee Stadium look darn good by comparison.

I understand old places like Fenway with some "quirky" seating, but there is no excuse for something like that.

Any amount of time/energy that the players/coaches spend on dealing with this kind of crap is time/energy not being spent on preparing for the game. It has absolutely nothing to do with how they made it to the Super Bowl.

I’m a packer for life, AROD is my guy!

Media is just finding something to talk about.

Disagree. If that was the case it would have died right away. It keeps coming up. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/20 ... k-barnett/

Not saying that it will impact the game in any significant way, but it can't help having any type of distraction leading up to the game.

This was, what, ten days before the game? If something that happens ten days before a game prevents you from doing your job on game day, you wouldn't have made it to the NFL in the first place. If you're so easily distracted by the task at hand- the biggest game you've ever played in your entire life- then how did these guys make it to the NFL in the first place? They would've buckled long before this under the weight of playing in front of 80k people in college, because doing THAT is far more difficult than getting a picture taken and answering some media questions.

Which... by the way... the same amount of time is given to the media by the team, regardless of what happens on or off the field. The organization or Mike McCarthy aren't going to say "Let's spend a half hour more with the media tomorrow, because our good friends in the press probably have some extra questions after pictures didn't get taken the right way".

It's a non-issue.

kind of missed my point. it has nothing to do with "prevent[ing] you from doing your job on game day". of course it's not going to enter their thinking on the day of the game. any distraction that takes focus away from game prep can't help. but, whatever, I'm going to drop it because it's a no win proposition.

This thread sucks so far.

Just found out what the G on Green Bay's helmet stands for, not what I thought it was.
