As far as the Super Bowl goes, I've been a Ben Roethlisberger fan ever since he was at Miami (OH), and Shawn Alexander grew up about 10 miles away from me, so I guess you can say I'm torn :wink: I have no clue who I want to win

P.S. How many tickets are set aside for the steelers season ticket holders for this game. We get 12,000. Just curious if that number is the same?

Yet your 6 seed steelers are 3 to 4 point favorites. You know what thats called " East Coast Bias ". Mabe you've never heard of it living in the East. But it is alive & still doing well. Its Okay though like i said earlier, Rather be the underdog. We'll see whos under who after the big games overwith.

Ok, some of that is a bit hearsay but the spread is determined by the people placing the bet.. Like I said previously even before the teams were determined for the Superbowl the line when Indy was in was +11 and then +3 AFCvsNFC..
Even before the Seattle vs Carolina game started the Steelers were favored by 3.. You can call it whatever you like but as you can see the spread was already determined far before the Hawks won..
Not sure if you remember the West Coast offense and when the NFC dominated the AFC but it was the same way then..
PS. Not sure but I'll find out..

Its Great to have our 2 teams in the Big Game!! ![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

It's better to be the underdog if you ask me.. Shit we went 15-1 last year and look what happened.. And we have a QB that is supposed to be in his "sophmore jinx" year. It's all relative.. Don't let it bother you...

Some say Steve Hutchinson is the best guard. I don't know if Chris Gray is still there but the Fins had him and should've kept his ass. ![Mad](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif)
BTW, we're the Steelers south now. Mularkey manning the offense and Dom the D. Getting interesting.

Such a waste of talent :shakehead Although I was glad before when we drafted him, I just hope they've learned their lesson and don't draft another known trouble maker. I think this will drop Marcus Vick a little lower in the draft too because him and Henry were both causing problems in college. (although Henry wasn't as bad) Some might see it as kind of like a look into the future...![Dunno](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/dunno.gif)

CINCINNATI (AP) - Receiver Chris Henry's weekend arrest on gun charges may jeopardize his future with the Cincinnati Bengals.
The third-round draft pick from West Virginia was arrested in Orlando, Fla., in a weekend street altercation, authorities said. He was already facing drug charges that resulted from a traffic stop last month in the Cincinnati area.
Coach Marvin Lewis said in a statement Tuesday that Henry's arrest "is unfortunate and does not shine a good light on the Bengals organization," adding that he "will deal with Chris in relation to his standing on our football team."
Lewis benched Henry for one game in December after the receiver's arrest on drug charges. Henry, the team's No. 3 receiver, was charged with possession of marijuana following a traffic stop in northern Kentucky. Those charges are pending.
The latest charges follow his arrest early Saturday in Orlando, where police said he pulled a 9 mm pistol on a group of revelers. An officer directing traffic aimed his gun at Henry and ordered him to drop the pistol, the police report states.
Henry moved toward a limousine in the street and threw the gun inside the car, the report says. The officer pulled Henry away from the limo and pushed him to the ground, according to the report.
Police said Henry appeared to be preparing to fight with a group on the sidewalk. Officers found a 9 mm Luger on the back seat of the limousine and a loaded magazine in a gutter where Henry was standing, the report says. The Pasco County Sheriff's Office had listed the gun as stolen.
Henry was charged with felony counts of possession of a concealed firearm, improper exhibition of a firearm and aggravated assault with a firearm. He posted $3,000 bail and was released.
