We are nine days away from the Super Bowl. This years match-up faces to stingy defenses who each have an all star with long hair. Clay Matthews highlights the Green Bay Packers defense and Troy Polamalu is the X-factor on the Pittsburgh Steelers defense. NFL fans should be drooling over this Super Bowl. Yes, the Green Bay Packers are the first six seed from the NFC and the Pittsburgh Steelers could play boring smash mouth football, but if this game is any way similar to their 2009 clash then we are in for one of the best Super Bowls in history. Click here for a recap of their last meeting (http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2009122006/2009/REG15/packers@steelers)
What's different from that game and the one they are playing in a little over a week, well clearly a bigger stage but also some players are different. On the offensive side of the ball the Steelers don't have WR Santonio Holmes (traded to NYJ) and Green Bay is without Ryan Grant due to injury. For those of you that don't know much about the Holmes trade, the Steelers are a proud organization and Holmes ran out of chances, as he was cited on drug possession and in a lawsuit with a women in Florida where he assaulted and threw glass at her. There was a lot of issues and laughs as to WHAT, WHY, a 5th round pick in return for an ex Super Bowl MVP? The Steelers did not even draft a player with that 5th rounder, they traded it to Arizona in return brought back corner-back Bryant McFadden. The Steelers received a 6th round pick in return. That is when they drafted a WR from Central Michigan...Antonio Brown. We all know who Brown is now as each playoff game he has came up with a fantastic catch that the Steelers need in crunch time. So look who got the last laugh in the AFC championship game, the NYJ who got a solid player in Holmes..But who caught the 3rd and 6 pass to seal the victory, Antonio Brown! So readers, "Don't Give Up, Don't Ever Give Up."
