Patch Picks: The Superbowl Edition

Two lists, one big game...here's our top resons to root for the Packers, and the top 5 reasons to go home unhappy that you're a Green Bay fan.

Top 5 reasons to root against the Packers

5. Hair Wars- Nice try Clay Matthews, but your straggly strands are nothing compared to the long, luscious curls of Troy Polamalu. It’s cute that you try to be like Troy, but you are a few Pro Bowl selections short and about two championship rings shy, and let us not forget about that National Football League Defensive Player of the Year Award he beat you out for in 2010-2011.

4. Vince Lombardi- The Packers already have a statue dedicated to the iconic coach outside of Lambeau Field. Don’t worry guys, we will take the Lombardi Trophy home with us to the Burg.  We wouldn’t want you to have too much clutter or get confused.

3.  Identity Crisis- It seems the Packers have had trouble figuring out who they really are. Packers founder Curly Lambeau originally “borrowed” the blue and green of the Irish to use as the team’s original official colors. The Packers have also “lent” their trademark “G” to such institutions as the University of Georgia and Grambling State.  I don’t think the Steelers will be selling the rights to “The Terrible Towel” any time soon.

2. Cheeseheads?! Really?-You’re going to name your fans after curdled fat? Way to keep it classy, GB.

1. Two Words-Brett Favre!! Sure, he may no longer be rocking the green and gold, but much of Favre’s highly publicized career was spent in good ‘ole Wisconsin. Many Pack fans still think of Favre as a legend, but who really knows what he did during his time in Green Bay.

In the interest of fair journalism, here's the other side:

The five Reasons to root against the Steelers:

1.      Even Disney doesn’t want Big Ben going to Disneyworld

2.      The ring for a seventh Super Bowl would have to be SO big you probably couldn’t wear it.

3.      The only thing that might aggravate a Cowboys fan more than the Steelers winning in Dallas would be the Packers – anybody remember the “Ice Bowl”?

4.      Seven Wins just isn’t fair to all the Arizona, Atlanta, Buffalo, Carolina, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, Jacksonville, Minnesota, Philadelphia, San Diego, Seattle, and Tennessee fans.

5.      We all know a Steeler fan, and with the economy the way it is, no one should be that happy.
