The Green Bay Packers Are Your Super Bowl XLV Champions

Welp, I definitively said the Pittsburgh Steelers would win the Super Bowl, and the Green Bay Packers came and took it from them. I really can't believe that Lil Wayne Green & Yellow freestyle didn't have any effect on the outcome. I guess the cheesiness of lines like "I'm up in this bitch with more blood than a blood vessel" only served to power on the Cheeseheads.

At the end of the day, the "Brett Favre shit sundae" factor (the worst way a horrible year could end for Brett would be with his replacement in Green Bay winning a Super Bowl) proved to be too strong. I knew that factor loomed since I listened to Kevin Hench bring it up on Adam Carolla's podcast last Friday, but I chose to ignore it. My bad.

Another factor I chose to ignore was the "Dave Dameshek at a Steelers game" factor. On Friday night I finally decided to listen to episode LXI of Daves Of Thunder and at the beginning Jacuzzi Pete said Dave Dameshek would be out next week because he was on assignment at the Super Bowl. On a recent episode of DOT, Dameshek was talking about how the Steelers always lose when he goes to their games (the 2004 AFC Championship game in their 15-1 season being one of them). For whatever reason I chose to ignore that as well. My bad.

BUT let me not get too caught up in these "factors," and ignore the fact that the Steelers played an awful game. I'm amazed they even had a shot at the end after how bad they played. I give Green Bay credit for sealing the deal, but they let a team hang around after turning the ball over 3 times. That's unacceptable. Great teams would've demolished the Steelers the way they played Sunday. I'm not trying to take anything away from them, but the win wasn't that impressive. Aaron Rodgers was impressive, but the Packers weren't as a team. Oh well, a win is a win.

The last thing I wanted to talk about is Green Bay being called "Titletown." Every single year I have to hear idiots talk about how the Dallas Cowboys are no longer America's Team, but nobody ever challenges Green Bay being called Titletown. Why? Last night gave Green Bay its 4th Super Bowl victory, there's 3 teams with more titles than them (Cowboys, 49ers, and Steelers)! We all know the Cowboys have the biggest fan base, so I don't know why we can't continue being America's Team unchallenged if Green Bay can be Titletown with less Super Bowls than 3 teams.

And last, but not least, doesn't it look like Clay Matthews is telling Aaron Rodgers to smell his finger in this picture?

Bill Simmons & Dave Dameshek Banned From Adam Carolla's Podcast By ESPN??

On his podcast with Teresa Strasser and Bald Bryan yesterday, Adam Carolla went off into a lengthy tangent about how his buddies Bill Simmons and Dave Dameshek had been banned from doing his podcasts by their employer ESPN. Check it out:

Adam Carolla On Simmons & Dameshek Ban

I love Carolla! Just thought that should be put out there first and foremost lol.

Anyway, I hope this shit isn't true because Bill Simmons and Adam Carolla together is magic. I loved the B.S. Report with Pedif-Isle, I loved the "Fast & Furious" review, I loved the Spunk Shui idea, I love all that shit so this is terrible news, if its true. Same with Dameshek. I only heard him on Carolla's podcast once, but it was good stuff and the David Carradine stuff was classic.

TheBigLead.com has claimed to have gotten an e-mail confirmation from Simmons saying this isn't true. Simmons himself had this to say on Twitter earlier about the situation:

"Please don't think I condoned my friend Carolla's juvenile/misguided rant yesterday. He poured gasoline on a four-inch bonfire. Just stupid." Via @sportsguy33

I'm confused. I have no idea who to believe but fuck, I want more Simmons/Carolla podcasts and fuck, I wanna be invited to Jimmy's house on Sundays to watch football! And yes, there is a possibility I'd want to go to Jimmy's and watch football more than I'd wanna hear the Carolla/Simmons collabo again lol.
