    Let's see who the "Skybox" team is this year. Tell us why you made your pick.

    I will start out by voting for Green Bay.

    I hate the Steelers therefore the Packers are my team. I think they will win comfortably.

    I took the Pack for a number of reasons. I like their fans. I liked the great Lombardi teams. They're in the NFC North the Lion's division and the Lions beat the Pack once this year. Big Ben is a pig.

    I'm torn....growing up a Browns fan, you gotta hate the Steelers, but I love Tomlin, Hines Ward and I like their style. But AJ Hawk is the captain of the Packer defense....but I love Tomlin but Ryan Pickett is one of the anchors of the Packer d-line. But I love Tomlin, but I hate the Steelers and Big Ben is a pig.....hmmmmmm....not ready to vote.

    I'm not torn at all. The Green Bay Packers should be considered "America's Team" this year. They have already saved the American tax payer several million dollars.

    My wife and dog have turned into big-time Packer fans since we moved to this state so for the sake of familiy unity, I am left with no choice but to root for the Pack

    They do have great fans and probably are the this country's most unique professional sports franchise given their location, history, and the fact that they are publicly owned. Plus, garlic and dill flavored cheese curds from Wisconisn are the second best snack food in the world next to BAPP.

    Because I always look to Bobda for guidance in serious matters such as this poll, I am going with the Pack.

    Never had anything like that...

    I'll go back to the Pack as my first Pro Team, again it was because of Paul Hornung..but still they were my team. Not to mention Ben is a pig.

    Undoubtly I will be the black sheep here as I have not watched a Super Bowl in years. Really can not remember the last one I did watch. Too much hoopla for me and while I enjoy college football and basketball, the pros really have little to interest me.

    I have a lot of respect for the rich history of both of these organizations so instead of a favorite i just dont see the steelers losing a super bowl. Especially since theyre not up against the cowboys, the real americas team.

    I can't believe that nobody has challenged me on that statement.

    My reasoning behind Green Bay being America's Team this year:

    Every red-blooded American should jump to support the Green Bay Packers! The Packers defeated the Chicago Bears, thus earning them the opportunity to go to Super Bowl XLV. By doing so, they saved hard-working, red blooded, taxpaying Americans literally several million dollars of tax money. How you say? Simple... we were told that if the Chicago Bears had won that President Obama (and probably his family) would be attending Super Bowl XLV to cheer on his hometown team. Since the Bears lost...the President won't be attending. The money saved not using Air Force One, the limosines, all the additional security, and let's not forget Michelle Obama's entourage, is literally several million dollars! Therefore every American should cheer on the Green Bay Packers at the Super Bowl to show them our gratitude. Oh... do not forget to thank Chicago Bears' QB Jay Cutler for his role in the Packers' success! With that said...circulate this email to everyone we know so they can understand why they should cheer for America's team... the Green Bay Packers.

    I hate everybody. I want my Rams back and I want a written apology from the NFL and I want Georgia Frontiere brought back from the dead and publicly whipped in front of a crowd of thousands...

    I'll be grading papers during the game as I do every year...
