This is what I imagine Wayne Larrivee, Packers radio broadcaster, to have exclaimed upon the 4th-down incompletion by Ben Roethlisberger, thereby sealing a Super Bowl win for the Green Bay Packers, 31-25. (I 'imagine' as I wasn't listening to the radio call.)
And so, everyone sing along....

What does Packers Nation get out of the season, when you add everything up?
*The Lombardi Trophy
*A six-game run to same for the ages, including three nailbiter down-to-the-wire playoff games out of a possible four
*About as much of a 'so there I was' war story as you can have in the NFL, what with half the damn team on IR
*An NFC Championship over the Bears, in Soldier Field, that ended in Bears Nation eating itself
*Aaron Rodgers getting the Favre monkey indisputably off his back
*The knowledge that if something ever happens to Rodgers, Matt Flynn isn't too bad either
*Total vindication of Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy
*A ring for Charles Woodson
*A ring for Donald Driver
*Brett Favre going completely to shit
*The Metrodome going completely to shit
*Blowout victories that got the coaches of the Vikings and Cowboys fired
*A Broadway play about Vince Lombardi
*'Green And Yellow', which is now our answer to the Super Bowl Shuffle:

A pretty good year.
Though, there may be an inordinately long time to celebrate, as once the hangover wears off, it's on to the matter of trying to prevent the looming labor stoppage, which involves stuff like money and the length of the season and player safety and other things which I personally have trouble keeping straight in my head right now because of the LSD-grade natural high I'm on at the moment.
Recommence with final thoughts on the season, gloating, pouting, speculating, fretting about lockouts, etc.

Trying to decide how I feel about a lockout and all that, especially with the Panthers having 1st pick.
It was pretty terribly bad right?
It was a massive setback for civil rights on all platforms, yes.
What a game though!
None have the capacity to describe it's badness.
just have fucking springsteen do it every year, you know he'd be down
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
I still can't fathom why Fergie tries to sing with Axle's style instead of her own. She's an above average singer, she doesn't need to emulate someone else.
OP missed something that the Packers also got this year. The knowledge that the Lions were in fact a better team than the Packers on the strength of the Lions outscoring the Packers in their two games. So while the Vikings and the Bears both fell to the Pack, the Lions are on their way up........into an extended work stoppage.....of course.....:(

I would say the Packers winning the Super Bowl and the Lions barely getting 3rd in the NFC North says enough about who the better team was.
heheheheh
Hahaha.
I was for the Steelers, but it was a good game. Intense there at the end. So great.
We got free beer whenever a team scored any point at all....so, I was pretty happy whenever any team did well.
Holy shit! I totally forgot about that. She fucked it up nicely.

Apparently, the time- 1:54- was such that it caused chaos on the Vegas prop bets. Some places paid the under, some the over, some a push.
That's only if they paid face value for their tickets. If they had to buy them through a broker/scalper, they're probably lucky to have broken even on the ticket itself.
Then you toss in travel and hotel costs...
All in all, a pretty bad week for JerryWorld.

Basically, the league is employing the 'here's all the free stuff we can think of, please don't sue us' strategy, turned up about four or five notches because these fans are going to get significantly angrier than the parents of some kid that gets brained with a foul ball.
Wasn't it the Cowboys who also had a tent collapse at training camp and hurt a bunch of people?

yeah, the pressurized/tent training facility collapsed and killed an assistant coach
Cameron Diaz Feeds A-Rod
That A-Rod thing was hilarious. We were playing this game we always do at Super Bowl time, and it requires us to pay attention in spots. So when they started doing the "famous people here" bit, the conversation immediately tailed off and we all just focused on the TV...just in time to see A-Rod get fucking spoon-fed by Cameron Diaz. Best moment of the night outside of:

So yeah, the Steelers lost and that sucks. But it was incredibly gracious of them to, quite literally, hand the game on a silver platter to the Packers. Now Charles Woodson is a Super Bowl champion and has won everything possible in his football career, and finally.....FINALLY.....life and football give Brett Favre a giant middle finger. He never helped the kid, he whined and bitched Rodgers was even drafted, and he then goes so far as to actively fight against the very franchise he was synonymous with. In return, Rodgers was basically self-taught for all those years under Favre, is shown trust and faith by the Packers, and rewards them by outdoing Favre - Rodgers was younger than Favre when he won his only Super Bowl, out-stat'd Favre with 24-39, 304 yds, 3 tds, and was named Super Bowl MVP which Favre was not. Aaron Rodgers has the belt; FUCK YOU FAVRE!
Also yes, the Black Eyed Peas were horrible. But why was this any surprise, when their "music" has always blown ass?

It was "just" a broken neck, nobody actually died from the collapse. But hey, at least he got a nice shiny award out of it! The guy who was paralyzed from the waist down didn't get an award though, the cheapskates.
What's so brave about surviving an accident?
According to Yahoo, it's the same belt that Rasheed Wallace was carrying around in 2004. Prior to that, it's the belt that Ric Flair carried around in pro wrestling.
Plus Rodgers always does the "belt" celebration.

We tried to listen to Wayne & Larry on the Packer Radio Network over the internet, but for some reason they were about four minutes behind the broadcast; while we could've used the TIVO to sync up the radio & TV, it was just unacceptable to see it that late (we were getting text messages from our friends in Wisconsin before we even saw what they were texting about).
And yeah, OP, that last interception was certainly YOUR! DAGGER! Talk about a nail-biter. Gotta say, though, that almost all Steelers fans I've seen have been really gracious about it. Most of them have been "It's too bad we lost, but the Packers are a class act and deserved it."
It was an amazing season, all told. With all the injuries, this is one of those situations where everyone on the team earned that Superbowl ring, even the back-benchers, because everybody ended up having to play at one point or another. A huge team effort, and a good indication of what the Packers are about as an organization. They don't really need the prima donnas; they don't have the money for them anyway. Their strengths are great scouting, skill development, and team character.
Also: Aaron Rodgers is the fucking man.
PS - The officiating left something to be desired, I will admit. Both the Packers and the Steelers got hit with some bullshit penalties, though the faux facemask on the Packers was pretty angry-making, and if I were the officials, I would have let the unsportsmanlike conduct one where the Steelers were trying to push the Packer into the kicked ball to make it live, and the Packer turning around and clocking one of them, be, or at least have offsetting penalties. That was kinda unacceptable on all sides, and it was unfair to only penalize one side of it.
