Twilights Last Reaming!
Super Bowl XLV - Green Bay -2.5 and Over 44.5
It was a game of mistakes and errors. The miscues started even before the game. After initially being turned away at the gate and to the chants of "Jerry Sucks!" - approximately 850 fans with tickets had to be relocated. After the game started another 400 fans never did get their seats and were taken inside to watch the game on monitors. 
 
Then, Christina Aguilera totally botched the National Anthem including skipping lines, singing lines twice and apparently its "twilights last reaming" Guess I've been singing it wrong all these years. Felt sorry for the lady doing the signing for the deaf. Wonder if she followed Christina or did it the right way? Either way - CA went well over the 1:54 - a good omen.

I needed some mental floss to clear out all the stupid factoids
America's biggest party spotlights its two most storied franchises (and most annoying fan bases - excepting perhaps the Cowboys and Jets). Between them - the Steelers and Packers played in 11
of the last 44 Super Bowls - a full 25% and won 9 (over 20%). After tomorrow that will be 10 wins in 45 Super Bowls. Amazingly - for as much success as these teams have had - they have never played each other in the playoffs. (If you want to win a bar bet - ask who was the last team to beat Vince Lombardi. Answer - a 4-9-1 Pittsburgh team. Green Bay had locked up a playoff spot an was playing their second and third stringers).

And these two versions are no flukes. They got here the old fashioned way - with their defenses. Pittsburgh had the number 2 defense this year while Green Bay finished fifth. The offenses were very good but not great as the Steelers were number 14th in yards per game and Green Bay 9th.
