Green Bay/Pittsburgh Super Bowl Playlist

Could it come down to a Suisham Field Goal?
Perhaps the NFL's two most storied franchises. One has the trophy named after the coach who won the first Super Bowl. The other, the most dominating team in the Super Bowl era. It should be a game for the ages or, the last game of football we see in a long time if there is a lockout. But let's hope not. We don't need to see Shane Falco playing for our favorite team this upcoming autumn.

The task at hand is to put together a playlist for your Super Bowl with a little Western Pennsylvania flavor and a little Dairy State flavor. Growing up outside Pittsburgh like I did, I'm well aware that there are millions of Steelers songs available. I believe there are people who get by just writing parody songs for the Steelers for a living. Some are hysterical, and some are cringe-worthy. What I didn't know was that the same can be said for the folks up in Wisconsin (CWA? Cheeseheads With Attitude~Really?). So what I've done is mixed together sixteen songs, being fair and giving equal representation here (eight for each) including football songs and well known artists from the area.

For the game itself, I did pick the Packers to win the Super Bowl in the 2010 preview. But alas, a change in that prediction must be made. Who knew back in September that the Stillers would overcome Big Ben's suspension, Rashard Mendenhall would be a force and the defense instead of getting older would simply just be getting better. I said take the Saints and the points last year and was correct, I 'm telling you to take the Steelers and the 2.5 points. They are truly "Knockin' On Seven's Door".
Final Score: Pittsburgh 23/Green Bay 21.
