Watch with us!
UPDATE: Packers in the Super Bowl!
AND: Now, Obama won't go to the Super Bowl.
AND: We're watching the Jets and Steelers. Meade announces that we're for the Jets, because we want the Super Bowl to be the two 6 seeds who beat the #1 teams.

I am super stoked for this. Go Pack!!
Good stArt!
From the safety and comfort (ie warmth) of your own livingroom, I hope.
It was only 24 below in my old hometown, not too far up the road from the game. Back in the day, we would call that a warm spell. I remember the loud snapping sound our house made when it got that cold.
In my area, the game is being preempted by commercials.
John my house made that noise on Friday pm. brrr...
Are you having Doritos and French onion dip? (or Meade's special sweet potato pizza?)
'cause The Blonde hates football and I'd have to come over there to see it.
Looks like Chicago made some adjustments after the first Packer touchdown.
My 8 y o is as excited as I am. Lots of fun, and high fives for that last series.
Meade is making some kind of "championship" pizza. He bought 4 secret ingredients. I don't know what he's doing. We watch with a DVR assist and skip commercials, so we're on a delay and catch up cycle which has him at the moment engaging in some intense pizza-related activity.
It's all about things that begin with the letter P today here at Meadhouse. Packers, pizza...
The game begins with shock and awe by the Packers. The Bears get their turn and go nowhere. The tone is set!
And let me add that the Packers look stunning in their yellow knickers. I love the long dark green sleeves on the Packers, but I'm impressed by the short-sleeved look in this weather.
3 yard line. Go defense.
I have no Meade and my lovely wife thinks Packer games are the perfect nap opportunity, so it's popcorn for me. But I popped it myself.
Glad you like their costumes.
Touchdown! (Maybe).
Good start?
Really good start!
Long way to go though.
Put some leg irons on Hester.
He's still the Bears' biggest weapon.
PACK TD!!!
The Pack came to play.
So long, Chicago.
If Vince Lombardi was coaching the Bears, he'd sideline Cutler for at least one series. To get the crap out of his drawers.
Cutler has all day to throw. Maybe because of the holding?
Bears defense on state now. They can't allow another TD.
Punting from the opponent's 31 is lame. Kick the FG or go for it.
Well, that 10-yard holding penalty on Chicago just killed their drive.
Doesn't look good for the Bears. Greenbay's offense is reminding me of the old Dallas offense - using the pass to spread out the defense, then picking up 10+ yards on the run.
(as I was typing, another 20+ yard run for GB)
I'm working on class stuff at the Conference I'm at, and have espn.com open in a separate tab, so I see the score.
Pins and needles. Go Pack!
Oh crap. This is where everyone is hanging out.
I wasted my best Packer insults on the other thread.
Driver?
Watch Driver.
"I wasted my best Packer insults on the other thread."
Cut/Paste/Insult.
"And let me add that the Packers look stunning in their yellow knickers"
Hee. There you have your typical Packers fan. Hee.
Cutler wants to go home.
Now he's throwing Hail Mary's.
Rahm better get in that locker room at halftime and snap some towels!
Oh dear...
Another. Hail. Mary.
Right back at 'em!!!
Gerald Louis "Jerry" Kramer was one the best known of all Packers for several reasons. He was the author of “Instant Replay” which was one of the first “inside” tell-all’s about professional football. And he was the basis for the character of “Kramer” on the TV show Seinfeld. The team would scream out his name “Kramer” as he burst into a room. He was famous for get rich quick schemes, wild frizzy hair, bowling shirts and disliking black people. Thus frizzy haired bigots wearing a bowling shirt who hate black people are nicknamed “Kramer” in the NFL.

Who's coaching these clowns?
Still a whole lot of football to come fans. Don't turn you set off yet.
1 2 3 I quit!

Correction: Who's coaching that clown?

That's a little harsh. Mike McCarthy seems like a nice guy. Ok he hates commies but who doesn't?
His daughter Jenny is pretty hot.
Suit up Sid Luckman.

Correction: Who's coaching that clown?
Oh, sorry. I think the guy's name is Axelrod or something like that there.
Just kidding, Troop. Cutler is a talented QB. He can bring them back. Really.
I (heart) Donald Driver. I hope the Packers go to the Super Bowl just so Donald Driver can be there.
Charles Woodson is fun to watch too, but he has an unfortunate college lineage that can be hard to overlook.
Well, I'd leave Cutler in the locker room - he's not a money player.
Then I'd fire the coach.
Dan “Chester” Devine was one of the most unpopular coaches in the history of the NFL. He of course suffered from the fact that he was the coach that replaced Vince Lombardi. As we all know it is better to replace the guy who replaces the great coach as Ray Handley and whoever replaced Tom Landry can tell you. Dan was nicknamed “Chester” after the character in Gunsmoke who walked with a limp as Coach Devine did after John Brockington broke his leg on the sideline because he traded twenty draft choices for a washed up John Hadl.
(Is That You Bubba?, Nicknames of the NFL , Doris Kearns Goodwin, Sporting News Press 2010)
Troop - will you be watching the AFC game? Jets or Steelers?
Steelers all the way.
They may be a bunch of thugs and rapists but that is still way better than those dog ass Jets.
Jets.
What are the odds?
Sorry York, Phil Bengston replaced Lombardi before Devine - I forgot about Brockington breaking his leg though.
Go Pack.
I think the Packers/Bears winner will lose the Super Bowl, and the fans will mostly only care that the Bears or Packers beat the Packers or Bears.
Time for the Packers rosary.
Nice tackle Aaron.
Phil Bengston and Dan Devine are the same person.
...and don't tell me: Steelers by 50!
Madison Man, I think youay be eight.
The best thing to come out of the NFL came from a merger of the New York Footall Giants and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Rooney Mara.
Was Weeb Ewbank anyone else York?
May be right.
Rooney Mara.
Troop should like her -- she looks like a teenage Maureen O'Hara. Way too skinny for my taste though.
Televise is playing out of his mind.
Moral victory time!
No quit in the Bears.
There are more chicken shit calls in the fourth quarter than in the entire Oregon-Auburn game.
Based on the score, it's looking like GB is not putting Chicago away. Guess I'll have to drag myself up across the 45 degree house and turn on the TV.
Pack FTW!
That should do it.
OK game over. Time to refresh your drink, get more chips, open up a new jar of herring, etc.
It ain't over 'til it's over.
I am ever the pessimist while watching football.
I think the Defense let up a little on that drive.
The offense has got to get the ball and run some time off of the clock.
typical Packers-Bears game
Even if they tie, they'll lose...
How much they payin' the ref?
Play it safe Chicago; punt!
Hey, what should I watch instead of the Superbowl? I won't be able to take seeing the Cheeseheads in it.
GAME!!!
Exhaling.
I hope all the Bears fans will cheer for their conference buddies in the SUPER BOWL!
Wow. I actually got physically nervous at one point. Normally, I care, but in a completely serene way. Meade has been anxious since yesterday, and my position was just: The Packers will win.
Obama won't go to the Super Bowl?
Don't be too sure of that- if Pittsburgh wins today, Obama could still go so he can woo some of those swing state voters [PA & WI] at the Super Bowl.

Yes, Clyde Tolsen.
Congratulations to Garage Mahal and all the other Green Bay Packer fans who are in the Super Bowl.
Garage hasn't been this happy since Saigon fell.
Just sayn'
First blood. Steelers.
The prefessor should vote for the Steelers because Franco Harris was the original Obama. Just sayn'
Just kidding, Troop. Cutler is a talented QB. He can bring them back. Really.
But only if he plays, of course.
Clyde Tolsen! That's epic!

Meade, you need to put all that adrenalin in your wife's system to a higher purpose.
You should be rooting for the Jets, but the reason is because you want both of Brett Favre's former teams in the Super Bowl without him...that'll sting more than the publication of the crocs/crotch-shots.
WV: enoldie. But a goodie? No, Favre is just enoldie, now.
Wish the refs hadn't made that bs intentional grounding call.
I was rooting for GB, but I hate seeing good games decided by something like that - if its not flagrant, let them play the game.
Fen, the grounding call was not that bad, and the Bears made the first down...at that point, it doesn't really have a direct impact on the outcome of the game.
This about sums it up.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Fen, the grounding call was not that bad
Yes it was, like the ref was workin' for Green Bay.
Meanwhile, the Steelers are running roughshod over the Jets. But then again, the Jets ain't Chicago.
Picking Green Bay was easy, this one not so much.
Geaux Pack!
Packers are my go-team team after the Saints are out. I'd like to see the the Steelers over the Jets, though. I'm no Roethlisberger fan, but I like Steelers fans, and the whole working class vibe of Pittsburgh.
York, thanks for the two great laughs.
Hey Beth, I think you have been hanging around with Garage Mahal too much.
Stick around rsb, the Steeler game should be a laugher too!
It's quite late where I am but I can spare another hour - you seem to be on a roll.
Thanks. Hey you are in Belguim?
Are you on a waffle?
I was playing golf yesterday (Saturday) down here in AZ; the guy who runs the pro shop was wearing an Evil Chicago Bears cap. He said it didn't look good for the Packers, and he was holding a reservation for a foursome on Tuesday for Aaron Rodgers.
So, I guess there's a tee time available on Tuesday in case anyone wants to come down and play...
Why wouldn't Rodgers keep his tee time?
Favre's a mean mutha-f-er.
Her lil' sister Brett is as well.
Yeah I am in Belgium - reminds me of Brazil - and yes, I am on a waffle.
Steelers 10-0.
Sanchez is better looking than Roethlisberger.
That's his only advantage.
What kind of a roll are you on York?
17 to Zip..Steelers
A Tootsie Roll of course.
Same old Jets.
Hee.
Gettin' ugly in Jet land.
Bad call the grounding? The one with no receiver in no less than 16 yards?
all I can think of is jelly rolls
Belgium? the country with no government ?
yeah, I went to a demonstration today in Brussels - 220 some days now with no government.
You poor deluded Jet's fans. Here is a song about your quarterback to cheer you up.
What is Obama... O for 10 now....
...still, all I can think of is jelly rolls.
I really hope the Pack wins, will give me more chances to bust out my favorite MST3K of all time.
Looks like it'll be Packers and Steelers, two Red states playing in a Red state for the Vince Lombardi trophy. Who at that game is going to be interested in seeing Barack Obama?
Lots of ugly tweets between NFL players re Cutler's injury. Some have already dubbed it Kneegate.
PA is a red state?
You sure about that?
Deep purple, maybe, but not red.
Ah, Meade is going by the last senate elections, I see.
Both Wisconsin and PA went for the Democrat in each of the past 4 presidential elections.
@Sixty Grit
caught me just as I was ready to pack it in for the night - I will say though that I am not as liberal as I once was - my experience here has taught me some things for sure.
I will ask ma femme about the wv: chiret. Bonne nuit.
As soon as Belgium figures out that they are actually part of Holland and France, it will be a happy place.
Bear fans burn Cutler's jersey.
What kind of a roll are you on York?
Yorkshire pudding
Garage is a Packers fan? I should have known that. I guess there is something redeemable about everyone.
Wow, I saw it was 24 zip Stillers and thought it was done.
The Pack vs The Steelers.... Hard nosed football...
MM "Wow, I saw it was 24 zip Stillers and thought it was done."
It's done now. Should be a great Super Bowl. Glad Wrecks Ryan is not part of it.
thanks for this post: http://www.customtermpaper.org
@kldavis 7:23 "Packers win the Super Bowl" shouted by farmers and their pitchforks is a big CBCD family favorite. Thanks for posting that!
No open thread, but a Great One has left us: Exercise guru Jack LaLanne, dead at age 96.
After what the Jets did to New England, I think they'll be in the Superbowl next year. Ryan is a good coach.
Bad call the grounding? The one with no receiver in no less than 16 yards?
Yup. The same one where the receiever is tripped up and on the ground. Gee, no wonder he wasn't where he was supposed to be. And what about all the other games where a reciever is overthrown by 16 yards?
Look, I admit it could go either way, but it turned a 3rd an 1 into a 4th and 1. Let them play the game.
Trooper - Please, please, PLEASE predict a Steeler victory.
I don't know, MM, we've done pretty well by those U of M Heisman Trophy winners...I'm not complainin'.
