Steelers-Packers- Old School
No Cheerleaders. What will America do. If there were ever a time a game should be played in the elements. This is it.

2. Why? It's not New York. Dallas doesn't get blizzards.

3. Reasoning here
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said (via Dallas Morning News) the decision to leave the roof closed was a decision made well in advance of the 2011 Super Bowl so that they could focus on other logistics.

11. Know---but it get's snow and plenty of sleet...
I was at this game---the famous Leon Lett brain fart game against Miami--- it was fiercely cold and miserable.

4. Seriously? Oh, yay and yay.
If they were really cheerleaders who led cheers I wouldn't mind them, but they are just dance teams, really, and I hate how the cameras keep cutting to them.

Yet another reason to love this Super Bowl.

6. Just goes to show ya, Packers and Steelers fans

don't need dance teams with supermodel looks and 10-cent brains.

Their own fans are the best cheerleaders.

Now all they need is a version of the old Brooklyn Dodgers "Sym-Phony-Band".

10. Would it make any difference if they were MENSA members being
objectified because of their looks? I'm sure these dance teams are open to anyone with supermodel looks, not just those with 10-cent brains.

9. No El. My Dad is a Steeler fan and it is about the only thing we disagree on.
Once a Cowboys fan, Always a Cowboys fan.
